Scourges. They slice into my dwarves like butter.

Didn't know this was so deadly: Flowing 3/8 water, wanted to empty a reservoir so I deconstructed some walls and the flowing water knocked about 8 dwarves into the ocean below.

My favourite is when, in adventure mode, you get wounded in a way that causes you to vomit. Then you pick up your own vomit and kill the enemy with it.

This is why I love Dwarf Fortress.

I once had my unarmed and untrained sheriff punch a seasoned veteren soldier's skull in.

Though they totally deserved it.  When a tantruming soldier starts a fistfight, they don't use their fists.

Also I've seen limbs punched off, though admittedly on skeletons, who seem to fall apart if you so much as poke them.

Also I had my entire team die upon embarking because they chose to arrive in the middle of a trench containing a partially frozen river.  With no way out.  And it was only partially frozen, so they were mostly encased in ice when it overflowed onto them and froze.

I have in the past massacreed entire civilizations with an Ettin's middle finger.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

One of my dwarves went insane and beat my mason to death with his clothes.
Then he went and killed everyone else... I had to abandon the fort lol.

I once had a fort that got attacked by skeletal warthogs in its first summer.
Still lacking any decent military I drafted my miners and woodcutter and they managed to kill the beasts, but one bit my woodcutter in the leg, causing an infection.
Not being able to treat it, the infection got worse and eventually the whole leg fell off, creating a huge cloud of miasma.

The woodcutter went insane (berserk), picked up his own rotten leg and threw it at a miner, decapitating him. Then he crawled over to the body to pick up a glove, which he then used to club all my other dwarves to death... awesome

A noble just suffered a genuine unfortunate accident.
Has that ever happened before?
