It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Giant war hamsters. Not the most effective war creature but worth it for the shock value, and the potential that your enemies might either laugh or squee themselves to death at the site of Fluffy, War Hamster of the Apocalypse.

Dire capybaras would make me close the game and go weep in the corner.

SPEAK!

Is it because light travels faster than sound,

Jam a door with its corpse and let all the goblins in. Hey, nobody said it had to be a weapon against your enemies.

Giant honey badgers don't exist in vanilla.

And then did ARMOK say, the east is the holiest of directions, and thou shouldst not stand there lest thou be strucketh down by my holiest of beards. And then did the dorfs did say, we shall build from the west, for more do we fear the beard of ARMOK than the strike of the elephant.

You'll need to remove the GRAZER tag, or they'll starve.

I remember a human siege where the leader was riding on a giant snail. He didn't get that far thankfully.

This is Dwarf Fortress. Where torture, enslavement, and murder are not only tolerable hobbies, but considered dwarfdatory.

I prefer dogs because of how easy they are to obtain and train. My military does the main fighting.

I've experimented with the giant cats before (jaguars, lions, etc.) and they were relatively effective, but still unarmored--a goblin siege can get through them with ease, even though they're slowed down.
