I could do that. It's [IMMOLATE], so it basically is on fire. Hm... The fires go out when it dies? I guess.

[heydude6]

Well my idea is a giant acidic slime. It is a single body-part no organs or anything, as well as nothought for movement and noconnections for movement extravision, it excretes a contact syndrome and it's blood is also that contact syndrome. It can only be killed by making it bleed out. It uses the default push attack, it is vulnerable to magma but not poisons. It has building destroyer 2. It is preferable to take it out with ranged attacks. It should be 3 stories large.

[StagnantSoul]

Everything but three stories large is doable. It can only be 1x1. How big do you want it?

I could imagine something like that living in a swamp.

I know it can only be 1x1 but bronze colossi are way larger than 3 stories but they just occupy 1x1 tiles. But more specifically 9.9 metres tall and 9.9 metres large. still leave it on a 1x1 tile. A bronze collosus is about 14 meters.

In Imperial it would be slime is 32.5 feet tall, bronze colossi is 45 feet tall. Maybe the slime should be slightly smaller?

Things in this game are measured in mass in cm^3.

Speaking of which, out of the dark corners of my mind, I have thought of a fairly frightening megabeast that will surely be a challenge to mod in if anyone should choose to take the task upon themselves.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

17000000 cm^3 Monster (1.7x the size of an FB!) It's called an "Ungodly Abomination"

3 Heads with 5 eyes made of cat's eye gems, 30 teeth, 1 nose, 2 ears, 2 horns made of Black Diamonds, and gizzards with gizzard stones on each head.

It's body has all of the standard organs, but with a heart made of electrum.

It should have 4 tentacles with iron claws on them, 4 arms with silver claws.

6 legs, and a tail that can grasp.

Large muscle, fat, skin, scale, AND chitin layers.

Bones made of moonstone.

Seven times the strength and agility of what would be "superhuman."

Resides in shrines and attacks fairly often.

Attacks upon reaching fortress wealth of 15,000,000, or 300 dwarves.

Trapavoid is a must, for obvious reasons.

Gem horns should count as cut gems just like gizzard stones, and be able to be used to encrust goods and such.

"An abomination that stalks the earth, instilling fear in all those who gaze upon it, and feeding off of the pain of mere mortals."

[StagnantSoul]

That would take quite a bit of time to add in the details. And it should be 200 dwarves. I'd rather leave that one to somebody else. Good luck to whoever wants to do it.

[heydude6]

I might mod that in just for fun, but it would probably be a 2012 version rather than a 2014 version.

The INORGANIC tissues won't have any healing values, just to give it some semblance of realism. What do you want the blood to be?

Also emphasis on might

[tonnot98]

What do you want the blood to be?

What are the possibilities of a purple ichor?

Also, made a few changes to the spoiler.

Megabeast giants the size of... well, giants; with hundred hands and fifty heads. Give them some armor and a weapon for each hand and they are unstoppable.

Also, more Greek mythological creatures in DF would be nice, for example:

* (Actually existing) Centaurs
* Cerberi (semi-megabeasts)
* Chimerae
* Gorgons (Medusa was the most famous one; in DF, they could have paralysing noxious vapours, to simulate the petrification)
* Pegasi
* Scyllas (oceanic megabeast)
* Sphinxes
* Stymphalian birds
* Typhons (lava-breathing draconic giant megabeasts)

[Sirbug]

I personally intend to figure out modding and add wyverns. A large flying lizard with two legs, large wings and corrosive breath.
Give it breath attack that causes massive necrosis on contact.

Centaurs should probably roam the land with ranged weapon, isn't this how they were doing in myth?

As for gorgons, it should probably have higher terror factor, causing everyone to freeze because of how hideous it is. It primary attack - snake hairs with poison bite.

And as for some weird and ridiculously awful creature I have idea for - a nightmare star. Its body is a small sphere with brain inside with 16 large tentacles growing out of it. 8 of them are prehensile and end with a sharp deadly claws, while other 8 are used to walk.

It is terrifying.

I'd imagine that more like a dangerous animal instead of a megabeast, though, unless it's huge. Let's make it's body composed of slade!

[Sirbug]

Well, I imagined it as an animal indeed, but nobody asked me about wildlife.

Also, some additional attacks of random beasts/titans I'd like to see:
- Deadly needles - sending multiple bolt-esque projectiles at all hostiles in sight
- Massive detacheable sting - singular large, ballista-caliber projectile
- Deadly windblast - directed attack that sends everything flying backward, ramming into walls

Isn't Scylla practically a hydra? Typhon, too, but with fire breath (practically a FB.) Stymphalian birds are rocs with noxious excretions secretions.

Winged horses (e.g., Pegasus) seem more like fanciful creatures than megabeasts. While we're at it there should be hippocampi for the merpeople to ride.

[Putnam]

Without a third party tool, you can't make new megabeasts or semi-megabeasts.

Wow, I have no idea where you got that. I'm not even going to go into the ludicrous number of mods that add them, I'm just confused about what 3rd-party tool allows you to add Forgotten Beasts and Titans (what I assume you were confused about).
