Giant Keas. Above ground fort with an above ground warehouse and an artifact bone shoe that they were willing to die for. More than seven dwarves died in two seasons trying to fight them off. One poor bastard had both of his arms crippled, his baby eaten, and his wifes face torn off in such a way that she slowly bled to death in the hospital. It was all out war.

Giant pandas.

I thought I was gonna send out my 5 guys to get a little training. I was wrong.
While it didn't take out my entire militia, one thing that surprised me is it took out one soldier in no time at all and injured a couple more. It tore out the throat of one of them. TWICE. And then just swiped at a few more before They stabbed it enough times to kill it.

They're not as cuddly as they look.

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.

I encountered a serpent man in adventure that was a lycanthrope and once a full moon, he turned into... a giant koala. He devoured several trolls, and various types of livestock. Did not see him in action, but when I try to imagine a koala devouring a troll, I find it mildly disturbing.

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.

Koalas are another animal that's not as cuddly as it looks. They have nasty sharp pointy claws, and their teeth aren't exactly fuzzy either.

I also had a character in adventure mode die to a rabbit.
May I offer you one of these?:

My fort fell to a bunch of glowfrogs. I dunno how, they managed to murder everyone with sheer numbers.

note to self: in DF, NEVER fuck with anything in the bear family.

I sent my military against a panda.

one guy lost an arm, another had an artery in his neck severed, and the panda CHASED on of my dwarves as he ran to the fort, resulting in a civilian casualty of one missing arm, two missing legs, and he promptly bled to death.

then the panda wandered off, with nary a scratch, to sing about the glorious day in which nature got it's own back.

That wasnt a panda, that was a elven commando in disguise.

"Giant Horse?"

As soon as my comrades assert themselves as the master race, I'm sure you'll be subjected to the worst torture of giraffedom... drinking from a small cup on the ground.

This may be in adv. mode, but I remember somewhere reading about a duck killing an entire adventuring party. Also, OH GOD THE GIANT CAPYBARAS. 'The severed leg sails off in an arc!'

*reads the Wiki entry*  Ah, they were feeding on the fatty backs of my Dwarves.  I understand now.   :D  Truly, I thought the real bird was somewhat smaller than it is.  I'm not sure where I got that idea.  It's about three times as large as I thought.  A giant one is probably the size of a person.

Yeah, and look at that BEAK!!

It looks like it's meant for ripping out eyeballs. A giant one could probably rip out your bowels in one peck.

That should be a new type of project, making a rug design in dwarf fortress (With accurate coloring)
"And so, after many deaths and much sacrifice, someone turned their fortress into a fully functioning self aware carpet that actively sought after sources of fresh blood."

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.
