A zombie hydra sounds rather terrifying if you ask me.

A zombie hydra sounds rather terrifying if you ask me.

Undead by default are horrifying. Probably why they are found in biomes with the same name.

The King of Beasts cannot be an undead form only. It may be giant, but its normal version must be dangerous as well (badgers).

I'm going to have to go with trees. In .40.0.3 they never grew, but in .40.0.4 they grow -through- the ground, several layers of soil, constructed floors, farms, etc. In addition in rare cases they can drop ground-penetrating logs that injure/maim/kill dwarves even with several soil layers of protection.

Now that the mighty giant sponge has fallen to pulping, it's the unexpectedly-deadly-for-insane-reasons feature of DF2014.

[Iamblichos]

Trees.  Definitely.  Ents have been unleashed on the dwarves, and they are more deadly than necromancers.

What is with all the 'It was inevitable.''s? I MUST KNOW THE STORY BEHIND THIS.

You've not really played DF2014, have you?

I've played Fortress Mode, but Adventure Mode is like overcoming the Learning Cliff only to find a Wall at the top garrisoned by Legendary Marksgoblins. It is terrifying.

I'd say that dirt is the doomanimal.

I've found that it was actually easier to learn adventure mode.

Really? There's not much to it other than hitting people with heavy, sharp objects, while your companions take the brunt of the blows.

Doom animal of .40.06 is babies.

There could be more, right now, anywhere and everywhere, stomping silently about and swinging enormous mammoth-sized warhammers with deadly quiet.

So.. The weremommoths are the newest king of beasts now? o.o

Update on the specific Weremammoth in question: An accident in its containment led to the deaths of 46 dwarves. It was recaptured at the gates. I am quite sure that it is now a very skilled Weremammoth in terms of combat, and has become far, far more dangerous.

I have built a special vault for it deep under the earth. Here it will stay for eternity.

I agree and vote for stealth weremammoth.
A normal weremammoth sounds frightening. One wielding silver warhammers is even more frightening. And its all expected fright. What is unexpected is that such a creature could stealth. Its very reminiscent of Sir Bearington.

Spoiler: What should have been made of the beast (click to show/hide)

I don't need to validate the deadliness of such a creature. I just wish you used it for execution and gladiator matches.
Imagine watching the gladiator match, then it transforms and disappears before their eyes! The goblins are thrown in, 20 at a time. You watch as confused goblins act as the canvas as a pen of red gore cuts its way through their ranks, striking them down with impunity, silently, invisibly.

You could, in theory, line the floor with pressure plates that connect to a bridge, dropping the prisoners in when the beast transforms. (Probably using several not gates and an or)
