Would you be able to make the T-800 Terminator?  No pain, no fear, a steel skeleton, a good degree of super strength.  To make it balanced, the outer fleshy bits would be just as vulnerable, and completely incapable of re-growing.

Is it even possible to make a creature that is nothing but a walking skeleton?

Earlier in this thread, somebody suggested a keg creature with booze blood, arms and legs that was perpetually at war with the Dwarves.

This is the most badass idea ever. I want to be besieged by these creatures when my fortress is at its lowest point.

Please make them.

If you can grab that quote I might be willing to make such a thing.

Yes it is possible, altho I don't think Terminators felt pain, they could sense if they were damaged yes but never programmed to feel or simulate pain (unless you want them to be like Data from star trek when he goes to the Borg and asks them to make him "human" so he "could feel pain/sensation" don't ask me what star trek or what episode, I saw it a long time ago, when I was bored)

How did I miss that one? That is a great idea indeed. In order to make them be constantly at war, I would say the best way would be to make their ethics be exactly the opposite of the Dwarves. Are you already making that, or should I?

if you want to make them sure

I was thinking of a literal barrel for a body (wood with iron bands) but was going to have a caste for every type of wood, and booze. Give them human arms and legs (skin and such just for laughs) and 1 eyeball looking through a hole in the barrel. They would use barrel lids as shields and ladles (giant spoons) and other cuterly as weapons

making sure they lack CAN_SPEAK will make them hostile automatically

Doesn't matter who makes them lol.

Since what you were gonna do sounds much better than what I know HOW to do. I would say you should do it. For the sake of quality. Side note, what if they were made such that they have the same taste for dwarven blood as dwarves have for booze?

I already made that one. Go look back to earlier pages. That one was incredibly easy, it mostly involved messing around with the werewolf bite attack raw.

Could you please make me a chest mimic? It is basically an immobile creature resembling a chest, lying in wait for an unwary adventurer.
Picture this:

An adventurer is walking down a hallway in a long-abandoned fortress, in search of forgotten treasure. He suddenly spots a wooden chest in a dark corner. Excitedly, he rushes towards it and places his hand on the latch. Immediately, the pseudo-chest springs to life. A poisoned needle shoots out from a hidden compartment,  and sinks into the poor man's flesh. The man feels ill, and immediately loses consciousness, slumping to his feet right in front of the malicious chest. The lid of the chest-creature opens wide, revealing a set of razor-sharp steel teeth and a long, coiled tongue. The lid snaps shut, severing a hand. The tongue wraps around the man's hand, preventing the prey from escaping. As the chest is about to bite again, the man awakes. Grabbing his mace, the hits the chest with all his might, shattering the wood. The mimic is no more.

Also, is it possible to make the poison lethal  but slow-acting, so that the victim looses consciousness immediately, but does not die until several turns have passed?

Megabeast is highest tier of beast, spawning would be indiscriminate, eggs won't work and can't be layed in victims, madness can't be inflicted.
