So, I genned a fresh world for adventuring purposes. Long story short, the humans captured the Dark Taupe Devil Rithé who ran the nearby goblin civ and imprisoned him in the fortress Crewstabs for 200 years (incidentally, the humans' Zebra Fiend lawgiver lived there as well). Apparently Rithé got bored while sitting around the fort and spent his time writing books that, going by the descriptions, were pretty bad, so naturally I rolled up an adventurer and went to Crewstabs to see if I could get a signed copy of The Tall Dark Taupe Devil (I swear I didn't make that name up). Sure enough Rithé was there (an enormous warthog twisted into humanoid form with external ribs), listed as a prisoner. Since I've taken goblin prisoners as companions before, I asked him to Join. And he agreed.

So now I have a demon for a companion (beware its poisonous bite!). Is this unusual? Is he actually going to bite stuff, or is he going to try to use his masterwork copper carving knife, and if so is there any way to make him drop the knife? Is he going to be an unstoppable killing machine, or is he going to go down to the first arrow like the regular companions? What the heck do I even do with him?

well, what ever you do, if he dies, make sure your not near him (demon might explode)

I had a fire breathing coyote once.
quite uncommon; yet very overpowered.
Advice: watch out for night time ambushes, demon will be fine; you on the other hand...

What the heck do I even do with him?

Kill everything.

Use  DFHack to swap your adventurer to that demon.

Enjoy.

I'm not normally a fan of DFHack, but I... may have to make an exception here.

you should have found one with deadly dust or fire breath or something.

Firebreathing demons aren't that easy to handle. Unfortunately. But well, I had such a companion too. She was a Tortoise Devil who wrote extremely pulpy books.

[Archereon]

I had a steel ram companion that wrote books about books about books.

I think the general note about firebreathing companions or pets was:

"Only if everything is fire pr.."

the rest of the note was burned away, as was most of the writer.
