I checked out the Legends of one of my new worlds and found that this is actually a planned feature.  Historical figures like Dwarves and Goblins CAN adventure into the depths of the world, one notable enterprising Dwarf made a journey down there and tamed a bunch of Cave Crocodiles.

I don't want to spoil your fun (Ah, who am I kidding, it's the only joy I have ;) ), but I think I just had the same thing happen to me. Or at least, a related bug: During a siege, one of my marksdwarves entered martial trance, so I clicked the message to show where on the map it happened. I was then promptly teleported to the northeast corner, -31 z-levels down. The battle, however, was fought on z-level 0 and +1, and the dwarf in question was situated on my Gate-side wall, almost in the centre of the map.
So I think it's a bug. I have Cave Fish-men on the map as well (not discovered yet, only know it from the civilizations screen). Maybe I was, for some reason, teleported to  their camp instead of the trancing marksdwarf.

edit: Checking the bug-tracker, there's a similar bug already listed there.

Try double-checking Legends again, as well. The filter search can sometimes end up showing you a screen that's scrolled down below all the creatures on the actual list - try filtering for Rigothzasit again, then scrolling up.

Legends still yields no fat, following various instructions posted on the thread.

Valuing life seems too close to an aesthetic rule for me, I think.
Only in Dwarf Fortress is the value of life placed as "aesthetic."

Just had something similar happen. A raccoon stole a steel shield and battle axe... out of nowhere. It was not in my fort, there was no steel on the battlefield outside my fort. Then I get combat reports, where a dwarf kills this raccoon with a silver battle axe.

There was no dwarven caravan on the map. My drawbridges were up, no dorfs outside. All I found was a very mutilated raccoon corpse and no dwarf.

Ghostly. P'raps the mysterious dwarf wrestled it off the raccoon and then fled the map.

Hmm. Gotta check if the stolen items are near the corpse.

You, sir, are playing DF Multiplayer. You're running a fort while someone else is playing adventure mode and exploring the caverns, looking for a certain spoiler perhaps...
