I don't know if these are considered spoilers or not, or if this question has been brought up ive been too afraid to read any threads so as to not accidentally read any spoilers

anways, my second fort i founded on a sinister/haunted local, i cant remember which, but all i know is that i figured it would be easier then my terrifying embark-above ground fortress which did not last, but even that fort seems a lot easier than this one, but thats because of this damn creeping mist!

The other mists in the terrifying biome would just drain the blood of those effected and they die almost instantly. this one turns people instantly insane!/undead! im not quite sure which, because they're covered in creeping dust attacking them seems to be impossible, i have 6 Creeping dust thrall ravens and when i sent out a hammer dwarf and my wood cutter to deal with them, almost instantly when engaging them, the dust goes on my warriors turning them instantly

I tired a reclaim with a very proficient archer/crossbowdwarf with 100 bolts and a crossbow, one of the hens i brought got infected and i sent out my marksdwarf, the hen was a great distance away from my dwarf and then suddenly while he was shooting, he got infected i have no idea why, i assumed Armok hated me and made the hen shoot dust that infected my dwarf :C

So i cant be the only one fighting these terrible beasts, has anyone figured out any defenses that can be used on them in an early fort? assuming magma is out of the question, and lets try to avoid just walling in for the sake of the poor migrants and traders

Actually i'm thinking the Dust Thralls are bugged? please correct me if i'm wrong

The Dust Thrall is being attacked by 50 zombies and has been being beaten on for a while now and seems to be completely invincible, i can post the save if anyone wants to take a look at it

I think the "WHY WON'T YOU DIE" thing is an older bug. Can't remember the exact details how it can happen, was related to being strangled I think. Pretty sure they'd keel over and die the moment those zombies stop attacking him.

Well there are about a hundred and then some threads about this, so you're not alone

In one of my forts I had two mist thralls beating on EACH OTHER. I can't remember what species they were, just some random animals that got caught by the mist in the corner of the map, and never left, locked in perpetual combat, with each other. Thralls seem to be unkillable and hostile to everything.

Eventually they'll stop fighting each other. Sometimes they just drop down and die. Thralls are odd, and barely understood.
