For those who don't know, the boasts that characters shout when fighting are hardcoded in the file general.txt, in DF's data/speech/ folder (e.g. "I am the slayer of X, once revered by those who didn't know any better!"). I added some new boasts to my file, and the results are highly entertaining.

Brb modding in tf2 references.

This is an amazing discovery.

[Huntthetroll]

There is a wonderful wiki page on this topic, which also demonstrates how to incorporate pronouns for even more fun.

I forgot you could mod the speech. I'll have to  go look at whatever I've done with mine, if any at all. 

[Bearskie]

Oh, you've gotta look at this.

[Huntthetroll]

Thank you, Bearskie. I have found my new home!

Edit: To avoid thread necromancy, I'll post the full list of my added dialogue here.

who now sleeps in the dirt forever
who came up short in a battle to the death

whom I snapped in half like a dead twig

Spoiler: general.txt (click to show/hide)

whom I forced to eat [PRO_POS] own entrails
once feared by the weak and now food for the worms
who died like a mouse, squealing in terror
a child who tried to play hardball with the grownups
who was a fool to challenge me
whom I stomped into mush
whom I ground into mincemeat and ate for breakfast
and you're next
who was unfit to live in my world
whom I left as a bloody smear on the ground
whose mangled remains bear eternal witness to my fury
whom I snuffed out of existence without breaking a sweat
who still doesn't know what hit [PRO_OBJ]
