Managed to catch a hydra. After a few tries it became well trained so I put it into a pasture. Fort is now a county capital.

Tame megabeasts are buggy. Be careful that it doesn't see any merchants or visitors, or you'll have a loyalty cascade on your hands. Trust me, I know from experience.

I'll take precautions.

Re-cage most of the mammoths and make sure you have enough animal caretakers to feed them.

Find the raw data for the mod's mammoth and compare it to vanilla elephants. You're likely to find a difference. If the difference is not there, maybe the "forest grass" is not an edible surface plant for grazers and the rest of the pasture is stripped down to the dirt.

Yerp, they're all gym-rats.
That list is always wonky because it depends on whether they're in military training or not, which 95% of them are during their scheduled rotation.

As the populace grows in the Town of Coldness, North America, I am preparing when the first armies appear.  Everyone is getting some training.  And killing the wildlife and animal folk is giving them some real life experience.  Arming them is proving a tad annoying.  Few of the Traders are bringing me weapons.  On the other hand we have a hero Cavy Hero.  I even made a tombstone for it.

A treasure hunter tried to steal an artifact and my military dwarves promptly killed them, I'm pretty sure this caused a loyalty cascade because the dogs started attacking visitors. One of the visitors even fell into the volcano. I was willing to chock this up to overcrowding but the dwarves had their jobs interrupted due to the visitors presence like a hostile enemy. Also a jeweler burst into flames without being in contact with lava. I don't know how that happened.

Possibly fire snakes.

Haven't actually seen any but it would make sense since they were on a volcano. Maybe that volcano tavern idea isn't that great after all.

Nonsense a volcano tavern is always a good idea.

And in that volcano tavern, pasture a few chickens or turkeys, so they can uncover the fire vermin faster.
