Giant keas.  I expected them to steal things, not fly down first a ramp and then a staircase, into my fortress dining room, and start killing Dwarves.
This. My poor starting seven nearly got their asses handed to them by a bunch of giant kea, that then flew on their merry way with my wheelbarrow and seed barrel.  >:(

Also, anything with hooves == murder on legs.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

I once had a berserk merchant donkey kill some two dozen dwarves. And I thought it would be easy to subdue it - just send in some unarmed draftees, what can go wrong...

I'm having issues with Boars recently. In a map with both badgers and carp, boars are my problem.

Also "I used to be an adventurer until I took a capybara to the knee" makes me giggle, and I'm sorry.

...and then there's the Giant Sponge, a.k.a. "Unkillable King Hell God Emperor Animal of Death"...
I pity the fool what tries to sip a drink from a river near one.

In Adv. my guy stopped at a river to take a drink.

A crocodile came out and ripped his head off in a single turn.

Damned bastard.

I had someone die to a rhesus macaque once.

Also, while the caravan was leaving my (now rage-quit) fortress, a peach-faced lovebird kicked the butt of one of the marksman.  Took an axedwarf to get it off him.

Playing as minimally-modded kobolds. Giant wolverine comes along out of nowhere and hit-and-runs seven of my citizens.

I'd sic my beasts on it, but the giant war leopards refuse to go near the thing.

Pretty old one. One of my first adventurers, went out into the wilds. Found a herd of wild horses. And I thought "Oh, something that does not have fangs, claws, swords, or sharp edges of any kind. I'll go train on them!"

One kick, skull caved in. I learned respect for the hooves then.

I put a bed in my cistern. Took an axedwarf to get it out.

Now, on to serious matters: Giant thrips.

They wrestles my iron-clad dwarfs to death. Throws be damned! I lost my best swordsdwarf to a tree.

A groundhog. Murdered my adventurer. Because one little nibble caused them to pass out from the pain. It ate their face for two days and two nights, before they finally bled to death.
