I got way behind on these. Prepare for a ridiculous post.
I had a somewhat similar situation to Beast Tamer, with dust clouds bringing lifeless husks of sadness and death-huggles. A few stray kittens had been killed as result of a goblin ambush, and I had (stupidly) left them outside to rot. When they were not all that surprisingly turned into carnage machines (about 7 in total, I think) I holed up in my fortress, which had no competent military force at the time, and left a poor miller outside to die. I then watched in a mixture of wonder and horror as the undead kittens proceeded to kill him in the slowest way physically possible, chasing him all over the map and bruising all sorts of things. He was finally ended when he dodged into a pool of stagnant water and drowned.
those sparks
Neatly folded. In a cabinet. In his bedroom. Along with all of the rest of his useless crap belongings.
He has a picture of them in his wallet, and will show you, even if you didn't ask. Kind of like an annoying first time parent.
Now THAT'S an image!
I am forced to agree with you...
...this time.Have fun with this one:
(You were killed by the circus, if that's any help.)

"Look,
my hammer is crafted out of aerogel and filled with helium!"
Oh Goomba, I wanna see what spore-reproduction looks like. Mid-catsplosion.
this month's national geographic had an image of a swarm of fish swimming in a cloud of fish sperm because apparently this is what fish do during the full moon
that image may have influenced this picture
#3. One of my speardwarfs emerged from an encounter with only a severe beard injury. X! Broken tissue, D! Heavy damage, In infection. He went to the hospital to Rest Injury. The Chief Medical Dwarf diagnosed him, then she washed his beard with Giant Cave Spider Soap (for the silkiness?), and sutured (?grafted? braided?) the beard with forgotten beast hair thread. (I know for a fact that my only hairy forgotten beast at that point was a triclops salamander with flowing pink hair.) They apparently had an "I love you doctor!" moment, because they married as soon as he got out of bed.
you can use these, it helps avoid insane clutter
This was too precious not to share.
"Hey, Obok, how come you smashed that gnome's skull with your fists, but failed to damage a single goblin in the Siege of Legends?"
"All the goblins did was abduct my only child and strangle my wife with her own intestines. But this bastard
drank my booze."
In the recent !!DRUNK FORTRESS!! update by Wrex, the whole fort died, me included. The only difference is that my body parts killed about 10 different dwarves together, some of them earning titles, and my intestines strangled someone. With lack of further details, I just imagine my dorf walking along and then suddenly exploding into a fighting force of severed body parts.
Goomba, in my recent challenge fort this happened
Draw it, you know you want to.
Two goblin ambush parties appear - both have elves in them!
In a recent fortress on mine I embarked on a frozen river inside a mountain. The river thawed and all my dwarves drowned while being battered by barrels.
This reminds me of my lakeside resort fortress, Beachquiet.
The lake to the north froze every winter and thawed in mid-spring.
My first giant migrant wave arrived from the north, trekking across the frozen lake.
The lake thawed.
All forty of my ONLY VALUABLE MIGRANTS EVER (about 5 metalworkers, between them Great in every metalworking skill, a Great gem cutter, tons of Great mechanics, and more) plunge beneath the waves in one giant tragic splash.
