It's not that dorfs have cardboard skulls, it's merely a fact that in the grim world of Dwarf Fortress, everyone is super-strong, able to kick and punch with such force that bones snap and occasionally pierce an important internal organ.

The usual mentions of someone punching the skull of another person to bits and pieces and through the brain is often followed by the minor detail of "I stabbed/slashed/whatever'ed the guy SO HARD that they passed out from pain" which leaves room for dozens of free hits on the head since the other guy can't defend themselves at all. At that point, it's either a weapon hit, kick or punch that kills 'em.

But yes, in the grim future of Dwarf Fortress, everyone fights in some sort of shounen logic, putting all their power behind their fists so they can do dramatic punches and probably throw one-liners too.

But the elves and goblins!...
... do they, like... hold up a bush and declare they aren't there? I could see the dwarves falling for it.

It also stores food and drink that they consume throughout the season after stocking it once.

So what do -- no, I don't want to know.
