Elves. I hate the way that they carry such useless armour and weapons and you get nothing from beating a city of them.

Considering I just realised this was posted in the Adventure Mode subforum and my response was in regards to Fortress mode, I'd like to say that my most hated creature in adventure-mode is horses. Or cows. Or any quadruped hoofed creature that's larger than I am.

Is it because you've been stampeded by elephants numerous times?

People who won't give me quests.
Yes they're their own species.
Of jerks.

The jerk species I too dislike.

Never had a problem with elephants. Just forgetting that hoofs to the head are more deadly than a savage armed man.

A lot of people who wrote "D for Dwarf" articles would probably write ELVES in all caps without supporting details.

I'm not one of those people.

I say 75% of my adventurer's parents, because I always make dudes who end up leaving home in skirts and dresses.

Those dudes, when they survive raiding bandits, usually take the leader's pants along with his armor, weapon, and wallet.

Here's a little adventure mode tip for long survival:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Firstly make sure your a demi-god

-Accomplished (melee)
-Adequate swimmer
-Adequate shield user
-Competant armor user
-Skilled dodger
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now You'll be able to take down almost anything! (Except for maybe dragons) ;D

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Hah, I'm fairly well versed in adventurer creation, but I don't like making demigods. Why? Because I don't want a character that is described as being really buff. Yeah, you just can't please me. I prefer my scrawny rock-throwing peasants.

I say 75% of my adventurer's parents, because I always make dudes who end up leaving home in skirts and dresses.

Those dudes, when they survive raiding bandits, usually take the leader's pants along with his armor, weapon, and wallet.

If I have anything like that my adventurer will rip it off his body and throw it to the ground, beginning his quest in nothing but a  llama-leather-loincloth and a troll-fur-turban if he has to.
Or I'll just try to find a pile of decorated clothes in a house, whichever.

Kea.

Fucking, screeching, thieving-ass parrots.

I see them try to steal bolts and thread all the time. Their giant brothers? I won't forget the day they killed two dwarves and stole my only anvil. All I will remember of them is how they pushed their way into my newbie fort and taught me to fear everything in Dwarf Fortress.

When I first started, it was vultures.

Never again have I left the roofs of my buildings without hatch covers.

I almost died laughing at the idea of giant parrots stealing an anvil.

Ok then, whatever floats your boat!

Oh how I love being a hulking mass of Human muscle.. And then getting shot at the back of the head with an arrow! *cries* damn kobolds that mysteriously repopulate..

I don't have much trouble with parrots, but tell me.. Have you had any trouble with Coelacanth? They're so unpredictably strong!

I've never run into a coelecanth in DF, but they are the equivalent of DF law-giver demons in Animal Crossing.

I have yet to see one, but I approach pretty much everything with the knowledge it can probably kill a dwarf. Kea just happen to be a common and irrating pest to any fort I make.

It wasn't unheard of for men to run around in dresses in the middle ages, if I know my history.
