[JTTCOTE]

I started a fort and decided to neglect all defenses, seeing as every civilization was at peace with every other (Yep, forgot that goblin ambushes and theives come anyway). So about a year in, I got the announcement: The terrifying Bob (forgot name) has come! A giant weremonitor with charcoal eyes yada yada. I close my drawbridge (Poor woodcutters and plant gatherers) and watch it.

It comes 10 tiles onto the screen, turns into a Serpent Woman, and walks off the screen.

Wut?

[SirAaronIII]

It was a weremonitor. The weremonitor attacked, but then it stopped being a full moon and the weremonitor (now back to original form, the serpent woman) decided to leave.

[MrButtchicker]

I remember one time I found a Megabeast on my second year and was too afraid to fight it. I worked up the courage in four years and killed it in ONE HIT. Wow.

[JTTCOTE]

Another thing, the serpent woman was listed as Friendly under the units screen, despite the wiki saying they are hostile. Was that a bug, or merely it being deceptive and trying to get into my base?


Random off topic questions, I have some goblin ambushers outside my base. How long will they stay there?

[RanDomino]

"A something-or-other (this was a while ago) made of snow has come!"
Temperature was turned on. "A puddle of something-or-other..."

random historical figures from animalmen tribes are listed as friendly. So it goes even for animalmen who have just killed your dwarf: they become historical for that and become friendly because of it.
idk if it should be considered a bug, but for me werecreatures that turn to their normal form should be terrified of what they have done and run away.
goblin ambushes stay for a year or slightly less maybe. I think other ambushes and sieges can still come when they are here, and caravans definitely can.

[Flying Fortress]

Werecreatures are usually pretty pathetic when they come onto your map, I've never had one get more then 8 squares in from the edge before turning into a naked human or something else funny.
"A werecreature has arrived!  Oh, never mind, he just changed into a naked stonecrafter, we're good."

[Loud Whispers]

Were-creatures in their humanoid form are friendly by default. Not a bug. It wasn't an attempt to infiltrate your fort, it was them running away in terrified horror.

'The minotaur something something has come a giant humanoid monster with the head of a bull.'
it run to my fortress and then 'the flying *copper bolt* strikes the minotaur in the head tearing the brain.'

The last two werebeasts have been killed by outside forces.
One was a wereporcupine who went after the human trade caravan that was leaving. by the time he reached them only a bowman was left, who proceeded to shoot an arrow that tore the wereporcupine´s heart and some more before the wereporcupine reached him. When he was done my militia had finally caught up and the werecporcupine made a beeline for them, leaving a straight strail of blood.
Three tiles before they colided the beast bled to death. I have to say I found it anticlimatic.

The next one was a weremongoose. Thing is it apeared seconds into a siege, which had apeared seconds after a human caravan apeared.
The funnier thing was that it apeared right behind one of three forces of goblins and trolls.
It managed to bite a few trolls and kill one troll before reverting to a serpent man and getting mobbed.
Only problem is that they were in the evil half of the mal so afterwards I had to deal with a zombie troll and a zombie serpent man that managed to kill two of my marksdwarfs that had become uncouncious due to the rain of fetid sludge.
Maybe Ill get a troll turned into weremongoose sometime next year. Though Id really prefer a weremammoth so I can turn them into something useful as the zombies from the evil biome have been the biggest challenge yet. The last two titans have been made of mud and steam.

[Mrhappyface]

Serpentman weremongoose? The irony.

I once had a marksdorf run at a crocodile FB, and right when I thought he was gonna die, he oneshotted the croc.

[Hammerstar]

Had a forgotten beast than I'm not even sure what it was made of at one point. I just know it killed one miner by shooting "frozen forgotten beast extract" at them, smashing their skull on impact, and then suddenly died, without anything touching it. Didn't even leave a corpse to examine.

[ObiWorm]

I had a forgotten beast that was a blob of ash with a shell or something like that. A miner kicked it. The End.

[nttea]

Forgotten beast made of fire trying to walk through the cavern lake :p
