[Nullnostalgia]

So I had a carp problem... like, 24+ of the wee bastards swimming around in the river and generally being a nuisance to my dwarves- and in one case, a fatality. Drowned one of my fisherdwarves...

And then he came.

I gave him a name, Nazush Reg, Blood Glove. He was a pike. A mere pike.

And he killed all those carp. All of them, to point where my units screen is LITTERED with messages of carp dying.

:<. I think it was Fish-Armok, and I want your opinion Bay12. How should I commerate that glorious pike, for purging my river of the accursed hellbeast and making my waterfall safe again?

Build a shrine at the river, and keep him inside it. Once a year, on the first day of spring, have a child thrown to him.

THOU MUST.  THIS A THOUSAND TIMES.

[Loud Whispers]

An avatar of Armok in fish form.

Shrine is mandatory.

Gem windows.

Giant pool.

Filled with blood laced water.

And introduce some other pike, from this mighty avatar an army shall be raised.

[Corai]

Shrine with floors, so he doesnt get caught by a fisherdwarf.

[Loud Whispers]

Pike cannot be caught by mere fisherdwarfs.

[Naryar]

Not dwarfy enough.

Mod in a syndrome that will shapeshift him into a elephant-sized, ironclad, firebreathing, magma-blooded, evil, intelligent pike, possibly with deadly poison bite as well, THEN after this build an iron and obsidian temple to him.

Try and make him a megabeast as well, and make him kill useless migrants so your dwarves will actually worship him !

Make him earn a very cool name as well.

Actually, that's not terribly unrealistic. 

Pike are big, predatory fish.  They're actually known for killing basically everything else in the rivers and lakes that they are introduced to, and are hated by fishermen for killing off all their game fish.
