(AKA what wild animals do you hate?)


So I'm a lazy one and don't bother making a stockpile for the cloth I buy from the first dwarvern caravan that comes along. I leave it out in the snow at the depot. Suddenly lo and behold some Gray Langurs come sweeping in and steal half of it! It's not the first time this has happened, this tends to happen to me a lot. But because of this I've developed a strong hatred for the critters. I'm finding it hard to stop myself from setting their boiling point to 0.

What creatures do you hate?

[Pirate Bob]

Kea Men.  They steal stuff, and they can fly.  Enough said.

[Diamond]

BADGERS

[GreatWyrmGold]

BOGEYMEN
Probably wrong mode, but still.

[ledgekindred]

Alligators.

Urist McSwordsdwarf is fighting!  The alligator bites the Swordsdwarf on the head.  The alligator shakes the Swordsdwarf by the head!  The severed part flies off in an arc.

I like embarks at the head of a stream, since it gives all those Armokforsaken Fisherdwarves that always come migrating in something to do.  And I think it looks pretty.  Alligators are usually on the embark when we arrive.  I also like to embark with someone with combat skills and teacher skills so I have some defensive capability.  Alligator + active military dwarf = combat.  Alligators always win these battles.  Every. Stinking. Time. 

F--k alligators.

Anything that can both fly and steal my shit. If they come in animal men forms, even worse. If they come as animal men zombies, I just sit there frothing at the mouth.

Cave Crocodiles
Keas in all their appearances
Raven


That's all.

[Broseph Stalin]

Kea Men. Like a goddamn plague.

[Corai]

... What did the title just say?


I am going to excint those damned Gray Langurs. I am going to kill them all.




I reeeeeeally hate giant sponges.

[Scott Cee]

Rhesus Macques. Macaques. Monkeys.

All seven of my dorfs were busy after embark. My miner was mining, my mason was masoning, my jeweller was jewellering, the woodcutter was woodcuttering, the carpenter was carpentering, my fisherdwarf was fishing, but my hunter was apparently standing around somewhere watching the grass grow.

They stole my fucking anvil.

[helmacon]

I'm with Corai.
They only have one body part, body.
no bones, no brain, nothing. And no matter how much you cut it up, it manages to rip your head off.

I've had them kill a titan before,
A TITAN!

... maybe if i  poisoned them?

[Mohawk_Bravo]

Macaque(sp?) or whatever they are called.

Having not read anything about training or any such thing, I'm trying to train three Grey Langur's right now since my cage traps caught them. I figure it's better than waiting for a caravan to trade them and wasting the cage.

Not that it will make you feel any better, but the giant sponge man in the river of my last (now fallen) fortress was trivially killed during midwinter.  The river froze.

[Sutremaine]

They stole my fucking anvil.

This is why I build the forge ASAP. Always.

You could protect other items by modding them in as items for buildings. Think of it as jamming the pick or axe into the ground so hard that thieves can't dislodge it.

[Lightningfalcon]

GIANT grey Langur's.  Not only do they steal your shit, but they will also kill your dwarves while they're at it.   And then steal the socks off that dwarf.
