The Best animals
« on: April 22, 2012, 01:16:37 am »

Every poster here has a favorite animal, whether it be elephants for their murder, turkeys for their eggs, or cave crocodiles for their murder. There area multitude of different reasons.

My favorite animal is the Kiwi. It sucks as a food source, as a bone source, can't kill shit, but it has one thing going for it.


They are the one animal I refuse to butcher, based solely on how adorable they are.

(This thread is a blatant reverse-copy of that other thread)

Since when do we not kill something because it is adorable? In fact, isn't that why we murder most things?

Clearly, this represents six side-by-side wheelbarrows, as indicated by the right half of the icon.  The left half indicates they are carrying babies with hats in these wheelbarrows.

Presumably, they are lining up to dump them into the baby furnaces.

Well, by the numbers sheep are the best grazing animal for a fort that wants multiple animal industries. They have wool, milk, and give a decent amount of meat in relation to the amount of grass that they need to eat. Also, lambs are cute.

My favorite overall critter would be the giant desert scorpion, because war animals should be awesome fearless poisonous pinching machines of doom.

>Spring at Wonderfortress, elves make their yearly visit.

>During routine exchange of goods, purchase something called "Giant Ocelot".

>Have no fucking idea what an ocelot is. Picture it as some sort of octopus thing due to it vaguely sounding like octorok.

>Decide to google search "ocelot".

>Fall in love with giant ocelot.

The giant ocelot was immediately trained to be a war animal. I have no idea whether it will actually be useful in combat, and quite frankly I don't give a fuck. Because a giant war ocelot is, simply put, awesome in every sense of the word.

Before purchasing the giant ocelot, I was beginning to consider murdering the elves for their clothes whenever they stopped by, since the lack of goblins in my world means no goblinite to clothe my dwarves with. But now, I wouldn't even think of doing such a thing, as I'm hoping with all my godly little heart that they bring me a female giant ocelot next spring so that I can be blessed with a breeding pair of the magnificent beasts. Should the elves do this for me, not only will I never kill a single one of the pointy-eared angels for the duration of the fort's lifespan, I will also do my very best to ensure no harm is ever inflicted upon any of them while they reside within my embark area. Because any race that helps me obtain
Spoiler: these (click to show/hide)
is a race deserving of honor and gratitude of the highest level.

I am now keeping a close watch for even the slightest justification to begin constructing an ocelot temple out of all the most valuable materials I can get my hands on. Giant ocelot kills something? Building an ocelot temple for their amazing heroism. Giant ocelot gets into a fight and doesn't die? Building an ocelot temple for their unquestionable bravery.(gods forbid) Giant ocelot does die? Better honor them with an ocelot temple.

I have also come to the conclusion that anyone who would actually commit the horrid act of hunting/slaughtering/hurting an ocelot, for any reason whatsoever, is completely and utterly devoid of anything even resembling a soul, and in fact, is probably possessed by some kind of eldritch, sinister anti-soul. Causing them to become the incarnate of everything wrong in the world, and thus justifying their swift yet painful demise for the greater good of all other beings in existence.

Finally, someone expressing a VALID reason not to murder the elves!
