Earthworms!

For some reason giant earthworms hang out around the trees on my serene embark. I was thinking of making a Dune-like battle arena where captured kobolds and earthworms duke it out for the entertainment of the dwarves.

Anyone have some experiences with these fantastic creatures? Apparently they are not very good at combat, but the size of them is impressive.

Never really saw them in DF 2010. Tried dumping an earthworm corpse in an evil biome?

Each... Individual section...

I had my captain of the guard fight a captured one with an artifact bone mace in my arena once. He had no combat skill but walked out with some pretty impressive ones after a few weeks.

They are hangin out in the open, and not pursuing dwarfs. Any way to catch them? I dont want to damage their bodies.

By armok! Just after I wrote that post one pathed into a random cage trap.

[Loud Whispers]

Make more ca-.

I see my advice is not needed here.

Welcome to the extended path of Dorfiness.

I drafted a random useless dwarf from my recent migrant wave and sent him after a group of them. he's been whaling on one for a long time now.

It's pretty amusing to check the logs after a few minutes and see he's still going at it.

I find that surprising, because they push trollodytes to death easily.

Well he is wearing full bronze armor.

Cheater!

My pet earth worm just mangled the first dwarf choking trollodyte from the caverns.
