Yes, this looks like a bug. Could someone upload a save with this behavior taking place to the DFFD, and attach it to the bug report?

Reproducing this behavior is always a problem, so it would be ideal to have a save game right at the point where a creature that does this is about to make their big announcement, or at least a save with the creature in question nearby, and a screenshot of the behavior.

I may have killed him or my various undead friends may have, if not I'll seek him out and see if he shows up again...

Edit: Yep! However, not all is lost! I have a save from before he was killed! I don't have an adventurer in it, but he's still around.

"No, I'm Zebu!"

I have no idea what is causing this but I think that werebeast shenanigans can be ruled out, being that this demon has killed himself on several occasions.

Side note: After killing him, I too named myself Zebu
So he's basically saying "I am but an embarrassing memory of a spineless slug when I was crushed under a mighty mountain of hatred while still alive and then that was buried under a mountain of hatred while still alive and that too is but an embarrassing memory of a memory!"?

That's an embarrassing memory, I must say.

Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Then you should put that save up on DFFD, along with the name of the person in question. 

Hopefully, you could get a new adventurer to walk up to that guy's den so that the event of him shouting out how he killed himself is easily reproduced.

No, he's actually uncovering the secret of Zebu to that adventurer, he probably killed previous Zebu who killed previous and so on, so impostors come and leave but the legend of Zebu lives on.

There is a bug that duplicates creatures that are spawned in a specific location.
I noticed that I often fight the same bandit twice, for example, when I go to the catacombs two times in a row.
Maybe this bug is related to that? You went to the location that he is tied to two times in a row and the game spawned him twice and he somehow got into a fight with himself?

I find it hard to be threatened by anyone wearing a dress made from a peach-faced lovebird.

When I get home I'll crack open the testing arena and see if I can duplicate werewolves from zombified parts.

Again, this bug probably won't be fixed unless someone can upload a save demonstrating this behavior.

Upload your save at DFFD, and post a link intothis bug report.

Wait, how is he even doing the "I killed X he was a total scrub, I slew Y he was a noob etc."? I thought that in the newest version all they ever say is "I am Joe Q. Boss. Prepare to die!", without all the listing of who they've killed (which is good, because it's perfectly routine for vampires to have thousands of kills under their belt in this release.)

That's the point, it wouldn't be as fun to crush their souls if they didn't have souls to begin with.

Nope. I think they might not if they have tons of kills, but for a few they'll proudly boast.

Every time I come back to a particular keep, there's the same two people there, ripe for recruiting. Related? (Also, might be a .02 save... playing on too many computers)

Uh, time doesn't pass substantially in the arena, so have fun with trying the werebeast testing.  Also, bosses will only boast those with the [BRAG_ON_KILL] token.
