... so how about guinea pig armour?

[Witty]

I really want to meet the person who is willing to spend $24,300 on something like this

I'm betting the person who bought it is named Lemmiwinks

[Sutremaine]

They're not spending tens of thousands of dollars on the suit, they're spending it on a donation to a guinea pig rescue charity. The mail and helm (and possibly the toy jet ski) are just a nice bonus.

I could see this being an extension of current strange mood system. When a less reasonable dwarf feels the Urge he could bring an animal along with other materials for the artifact. Then:
1) Slightly unreasonable dwarf could simply bring an animal to workshop for inspiration to make a statue or add a masterful image of said animal.
2) Moderately unreasonable dwarf could just make some silly artifact and forceequip it on animal.
3) A completelly nuts dwarf could proceed to modify creature to his liking, giving it features of his favourite animal if it's not one, adding random bodyparts, replacing or reinforcing tissues with another materials, adorning with spikes and carving images. If the mood was one of evil ones the creation could go on rampage, especially if the modification isn't to it's liking.

(The last one came up to me as the only current possibility to arm animals and probably belongs to those golem-making threads but I had to share it anyway)

Only if Peruvian flute bands are also added in.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

that was a joke if you're interested

I think the idea that a dwarf might go completely nuts and make a perfect little suit of armour for his cat/dog/guinea pig/cavy is the best I have heard in a long time.

if pets can be given equipment the first thing I'm going to do is mod in war elves and give them wooden crossbows with wooden bolts. It'd be nice if pets could be given labours as well so I can  give them wooden training axes to cut wood for my fort but that's kinda offtopic to the thread.

Well you can already mod in a caste of Elves to your Dwarves and segregate them so that they can't breed with your Dwarves. I of course would love to equip a Dragon with Candy armor and set it loose. OP? Of course, but hela frigging sweet.
