Anecdotally polar bear-man armor fits trolls just fine too, but the above method especially via DFtherapist or DFhack's native 'manipulator' plugin can do just as well, they can do other jobs too this way.

Gremlins dont usually have the labours but most certainly should be able to create their own clothes/armor this method to prevent nakedness bad thoughts when caught as a tamable intelligent in vanilla.

I found a dead werebeast cursed dwarf doesn't turn into a ghost until it's back into dwarven form.
I got something like

"ghostly fish dissector turned into a dwarf!"
"ghostly fish dissector is haunting the fortress!"

Apparently they keep turning into beasts and back even dead, until someone memorializes them. The guy died in his flooded quarantine cell the moment he turned into a beast again, and I didn't recover the body.

I find this fascinating.  A ghostly werebeast.

Hidden beneath rusting weapons was a mass of assorted bones. An elf, a goblin, even an ogre. All just waiting for someone to walk by and notice them, like some kind of land mine of horror.

I found a dwarf with a prefference for "citron wood wood" in my fortress today.

Edit:
Found another one with prefference for "coffee wood wood". Is my game corrupted or is this normal?

I am enjoying the fact that "Urist McUristUrist" is the one asking about this.

This is normal. When fruit-bearing trees were added, their descriptions had "wood" added to them, probably to differentiate from their fruits (because "peach wood barrel" is clear but "peach barrel" could be confusing).

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

yeah, that system probably needs a re-write were all wooden objects are described as "X-wood object". So a  oak wood barrel for instance.

if you force-age a child by using the "Rejuvenate" command in DFHack, you can't add them as the commander of a squad.

After the fire had burned down all of the wooden next boxes on the surface, Mottled Petrel was reluctant to replace them with more wooden nest boxes. Instead, he placed the remaining store of wooden nest boxes in the dormitory for any aspiring koopa mothers.

The nest boxes were immediately overrun by helmet snakes.

I wonder what causes a megabeast in captivity to go insane, exactly?

So far I've got 2 Minotaur, 1 Cyclops, and a Roc. The Minotaurs and cyclops are in identical enclosures, chained to prevent escape. The roc is in a multi-story aviary enclosure. The Minotaurs went insane with 3 years, at different times. The Cyclops has been here for going on 10 years, and is sane.

The Roc likely has not had time enough to produce results, being caged for 4 years (I had to reconstruct the aviary, mistakes were made) and inside the enclosure for 2. It is unchained.

We've also got a number of goblins enclosed, and unchained. None of them have gone insane. However, if the chain was the catalyst, one would think the cyclops would have lost it long ago.

Probably just the sheer shame of it all.

They should if you use cave-in dust to stun.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

I was looking for ways to take an elven caravan's stuff under two conditions:
1. Don't let them leave. (pisses off the elven civ, don't really want war yet)
2. Don't kill them. (corpses are traumatizing to dwarves, pain in the ass to deal with)
