I'd say the flying thieves.

Because currently they steal something heavy (my only iron anvil) and fly into a tree rig above a woodcutter, explode into gore, terrify the woodcutter into a ball, and then the anvil lands on him. Afterwards the gibs land but at this point he had already died.

I'm still putting my vote in for zombie gigantic tortoise. It kicked the ever living crap out of everything I threw at it. It ate axes and spat out dwarf pieces. I did not expect it to be as dangerous as it was. It was a true beast.

I'm going to go with armadillos. Or porcupines. Something that rolls up into a ball and stays there, frightening off dwarves despite being tiny.

Sorry to double-post, but it just occurred to me: Orangutans.

I ran into one the other day in adventure mode and I thought I was going crazy when I saw it move. It looks exactly like a tree. It lives only in forests.

Wait, what?
Organtuans?
Are you silently stabbing our necks?
Oh wait, you spelled it "Orangutan".
EDIT2: I understand now. My brain was on PVZ mode, so I read that like "Gargantuar".
Yeah, they do look like the part of a tree you see on the ground, but it's more surprising than rip-out-your-lungs-with-a-punch-ing.

  That sounds Hilarious- mod them so that Orangutans are called Trees, pass the save to a friend, watch them get attacked by a 'tree'. Hehehe.

No, make different castes for each type of orangutan tree, then delete all other critters.

I got an idea for the suggestion forum: actively attacking trees in evil bioms or moving ones as megabests :D

As had been said before the next king of beasts will be one we wont expect. But whatever creature it may be it will probably end up being one that takes advantage of the pulping system. In any case we shouldn't expect to find it until after Toady begins the next release DF 2047.

I mean you can today reasonably expect a dwarf not to put themselves on the wrong side of a flood-gate, or run through fire. That's progress.
