Is this a bug, or intentional?

The best way to demonstrate it to him is take a save of 40 year old fortress with 150 dwarves in it on a good sized embark with a volcano that just breached the circus and install it on his gaming rig and watch it bring his rig to its knees.

Were they possessed? This mood doesn't give experience.

Cool, but wouldn't this likely lead to tongues having a '[SPEACH]' tag, and thus via necromancy we would have nearly unkillable reanimated tongues following necromancers spamming 'it is sad but not unexpected'?

Oh yeah. Forgot about that. Yes, the mood was possessed.

There are three different kinds of mood, I believe. Only one of them results in making the dwarf legendary upon completion.  I think...it's either 1 or 2.  But I'm pretty sure it's 1.

Weren't there 5 moods? Fey, Possessed, Secretive, Fell, Macabre? And only Possessed did not result in legendary dwarves. And Fell and Macabre moods could only happen to very unhappy to miserable dwarves. At least, that's what it was in 34.11, I'm not sure if they changed it.

I can't remember the last time I saw fell or macabre moods.

I never actually got a fell or macabre mood. It's not actually something you want though, as fell dwarves will murder the nearest dwarf and use his bones in his artifact. Macabre dwarves will use only bones too, but not the bones of a dwarf, but still is a sign of unhappiness.

I got fell mood once. It was an evil biome so moody dwarf died by a zombie of his own making.

Still, unhappy (and living) dwarves are rarity in my playstyle.

It would be cool if you waited until after that happened to view it and the artifact had an image of the dwarf being struck down by the zombie.
