In vanilla dwarf fortress, it is far too easy to seal your fortress off from the outside world. I think that what we need are entities capable of digging through certain materials in a manner similar to how ghosts can pass through things. Giant prairie dogs and worms for soil layers, Giant termites for wooden walls and at least one particularly nasty critter that can dig through stone.

Digging creatures, especially digging enemies, are a relatively common and much debated suggestion - here is a thread that's still active and on the first page. For that matter, the dev page includes a section on improved sieges with subsections for overcoming turtling, including digging as an optional way to get through player defenses.
