how about adamantium unilosses.

1. Adamantine
2. Adamantine makes for weak creatures. An adamantine colossus can be punched to death by creatures many times smaller than itself, sadly.

Yeah. You'd do better to make a creature out of slade and give it adamantine teeth and claws.

I'll have to put my vote with the guy who said "Dwarves". You can lure a zombie into a trap, kill a clown with steel spikes, or pepper a web-shooting FB with arrows, but there's not much you can do when the tantrum spiral starts.

I disagree. The quickest solution is Prompt use of force, with a eye to kill as many dwarves classified unhappy or worse as quiclkly as possible. This prevents It from spreading. (sorry, been reading too many SPCs)

No, But I still disagree. It is possible to isolate any and all upset dwarves in booths with food and booze as soon as they are calm. This should prevent them from hurting themselves, and should maximize amount of tiem alive and possiblity of survival. Time alive is valauble because it prevents them from adding further negative thoughts to related dwarves who are dealing with other problems, and minimize time spent miserable, leading to a smaller risk of Insanity events.

I'm gonna go with skeletal horses or skeletal camels. They have the speed to chase down any humanoid, the hooves to crush their bones, and the all-consuming bloodlust to hunt down every last man, woman, or child that comes within their rotting gaze.

We should instead look at it liek this.

Dwarves are the most dangerous for a variety of reasons
- They can and will build things for stupid reason.
- When sufficently agitated they enter a martial trance and turn into an embodiment of "Go fuck yourselves!" as they begin killing everything around them that isn't friendly.
- They're stupid enough to weaponize ANYTHING. Or die in the attempt.
- They'll provoke wars for fun.
- They can bounce back from things that would leave a human being emotionally shattered.
- You can chop thier leg and an arm off, pop out thier guts and damage thier skull and they'll be fine with some stiches, dressings, and a crutch.
- In relation to item 1, they may build something incredibly pointless with the express intent of killing things with it.
- They'll maul friends and family if they see Urist McNobody die.
- Can become so frightening some FBs will hesitate to attack the fortress.
- Instead of ostricizing or killing vampires, they'll drill them to perfection skill wise and unleash them on thier foes.
- If it exists, they'll figure out a way to either kill it or weaponize it.

And above all, dwarves have us, the players, The Jesters of Armok and his guiding hand, leading them. This reason alone can be considered why they're the most dangerous thing in Dwarf Fortress.

giant capybara Thralls

Like they weren't smug enough already.



People think elves are condescending but they don't even compare to capybaras.

The flying thief that disrespects me every embark.  By hauling off my wood stockpile, wheelbarrel but leaves the 20 logs.

After extensive studying of all individuals in DF, I have come to the surmise that the most dangerous creatures in the vanilla game, Are dwarven Merchants.

You may be thinking "dafuq?", and I can assure you, It is a reasoable thought, bu not prpoerly expressed.

Why Them? Well,, first off, they are involved in a phenomena known as "loyalty cascade". The sheer destructiveness involved means that his is obvously dangerous. Since it requires effort on the part of the player, this is not enough.

Dwarven merchants bring all sorts of danger associated with merchants. They attract Goblin sieges, Are often the reason for production of "migrant attracting garbage", and Can single-handedly lead to more danger to a fort then any particular siege, as Forts will be forced to design a method to let them in. This oftem involves leaving a opening open, the dangers of which are nigh iuncountable.

But, Finally, they do a damage that is beyond repair, FPS. The very act of items being on the map, as well as pathing and such, will eventually wear down a fort. Moreover, this defeats the argument in opposing Merchants, namely killing them, since the items wil remain. Metal items will remain even if you pour magma on them.  Moreover, their deaths for any reason will add a number of none trading-related items.

However, the final affect is far more sinister then is obvious. The number of Items Actually permanantly decreases FPS.

A steel-clad legendary axedwarf thrall.

Someone had one of those happen to them not long after thralls were introduced. It sounded... horrifying.

They can afford to be. After all, they look all cute and fluffy until one suddenly decides to tear out your liver.
