Someone who has random urges to make mog juice isn't exactly going to care about the cost effectiveness of obtaining it.

Hey, it didn't even shatter the skull!  What black magic is this?

Has anyone tried modding dwarves to have skulls made of metal or something to see if it makes an appreciable difference?

Metal skin tends to do better ;)

Also, fish have always been and still are deadly. Except now they're not apocalyptic :p

Is this some kind of homage to the crocodile hunter or what?

(I demand these creatures be weaponised for further testing!)

All my dangerous fish killed each other immediately on embark. It was awesome....the sea lampreys are now.....sitting at the bottom of the river where it leaves the map. And my dwarves are safe. :)

How the he'll can a lamprey shatter a dwarfs skull!? Have you seen those things, they're like slimy eels without jaws!

Then again carp aren't exactly apex predators....

You should see how a carp would do against over forms of sea life in arena mode.

Speak for yourself. I just had a fort wiped out by a school of Zombie Bluefin Tuna. They cleared out thirty dwarves in five minutes.

And this is why we should be eating the hearts off fish to steal a  portion of their strength. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE. HUNDRED!
