 I got the message that one of my military dorfs finally became a Hammer Lord, and I immediately go to check up on all her skills and attributes just to see how far her training has got her. That's when I realize she is covered in animal bone jewelry.

(My first time uploading an image to the forums here, may or may not have screwed something up.)

 I immediately go back to her thoughts and preferences and face-palm at the several civs she has been in and her 148 years of life.

 I'm thinking something along the lines of "My Hammer Lord is a vampire! Darn it!" But this isn't even the best part.

Notice that they're all in the "Tenacious Jungle." Tenacious indeed.

 Hundreds of animals have been slain by her hand. Plus a sasquatch. Going back, I realize she has a family that was started in my own fortress, so she can't be a vampire. A significant lack of sentient-bone jewelry makes me doubt this even more. She does seem to have left 3 of her kids behind somewhere, because she only has one in my fortress. Anyway, just thought I'd share my Hammer Lord's animal beating fetish. Have you guys come across migrants like this before? Most of mine are generic and dull. (Which is why I at first thought she was a vampire...)

An enthusiastic hunter who likes her trophies?

 Let's hope so. Otherwise, I believe I may be satisfying her lust for murder by letting her kill my berserking dwarves...

 After this fort dies, I'll go into legends to look at her in detail. If that takes to long, I may just copy the world and have a look anyway.

I think I have a Mason with over 400 animal kills. Maybe Dwarves just like killing things.

I doubt it's a vampire. Dwarves live for over 150 years. She's probably just a normal dorf. If she was a vamp, she'd have killed more sentients.

It's a historical dwarf of some kind. Probably an adventurer (she killed a named sasquatch and has weapon skills), and adventurers like bling as much as anyone else.

Dwarves live very long lifespans (until we come along of course). I think the wiki said it was anywhere between 100-175 (or even more, I should check the article) for them to die of old age (vs the human range of 75-125) so she could just be one badass granny who moved allot when she was young. check her jewelry, if its all animal and no sentient material then she is just a senior citizen. If she has human hair earings (how does that even work?!) then you have yourself a vampire.

[Exlo]

 Yeah, she's no vampire. I've just never seen so much jewelry on a migrant. Caught me off guard!

...human hair earings (how does that even work?!)...

Weave some human hair into a ringey shape and tie it through a hole in your ear.
