Carp ? Hah. I have modded my carps to be LARGE_PREDATORS, LIKES_FIGHTING and removed the BENIGN tag ! FUN for rivers !

As well as giant carp and carp men.

Could someone share a save with sponges present? I've failed to find any of those.

[flieroflight]

what happens if we give them firebreath?

[Naryar]

what happens if we give them firebreath?

The terrifying new dragon sponge.

Everyone dies.

I accidentally did this while testing some spells in arena mode. I intended to use some sea sponges as target practice, but it turns out they wanted it the other way around. Didn't last ten seconds.

New test : see how lethal you can make giant sponges by changing two tags 

Changing aquatic to amphibious and adding large_predator, maybe ?

[Supernerd]

I think I might have accidentally figured out how to weaponize a sponge in a roundabout way. When I channeled the tile that a Giant Sponge was on from directly underneath it, the sponge moved one tile to the west instead of falling. So it should be possible to capture one in a cage trap by moving it with this method. After getting it in a cage it should just be a matter of placing the sponge in a good location. Sponges can air drown, so you have to take that under consideration.

Mayby you could use it as a disco-ball in your dining room.

EDIT:
I discoverd an intresting arena quirk about sponges, it looks like in a single arena session they have one color, the first time i tested they were all red, but i left my fps cap a bit high, so i turned it off changed the cap and turned it back on, now they are all blue.

EDIT2:
Nvm.

EDIT3:
These things are scary, i put 35 full candy dwarves w/ candy battleaxes up against 64 sponges, one sponge died due to airdrowning near the waterfall in the arena, a few dwarves have bled out. God, even martial trances do nothing against these beasts.

And remove the immobile tag of course.

[imperium3]

Are zombie sponges still immobile?

Are zombie sponges still immobile?

... Are you WANTING something that can't be hurt/killed to rise as something that more powerful and HARDER to hurt/kill? :p

[MaximumZero]

Hey, can you coax them onto bridges momentarily and then fling them at sieges?

[Supernerd]

Sponges air drown and for the most part are immobile, so catapulting them via a bridge wouldn't help much even if you actually managed to pull it off. I think it could theoretically work if the siege in question was travelling through water via amphibious mounts though.

[Flying Dice]

Oh Luna, sponges... What I like to do is do surgical magmadrops onto them.

If you haven't built a gladiator pit to drop your captured foes into and then pelt the survivors with wood/bone bolts/water/magma/exploding barrels(exploding barrel does minimal if any damages :<), you are not a dorf.
