Dragon is 148x64x69 tiles, it consists of 43K stone blocks and 6K metal bars. Blue is microcline, yellow is native gold or brass, white is silver or native silver, black is obsidian, red is bauxite or magma. Fort is 32 years old, populated by 170 dwarves (including queen), wealth is 93M. There's a fully functional dwarven colony inside (except fields and trade depot, those are located underground). If you read Russian you may enjoy full story at http://vadim-proskurin.livejournal.com/tag/anvilbodice there are also 300+ pictures.

My previous fort was Arrowrags: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=152114.0

So does it spit magma? Can it defend against sieges?

So I built a dragon

And thus, the internet was won.

No, it doesn't. It really has magma inside its belly:

But it's only for metallurgyish purposes.

That is pretty cool. Nicely done.

Regular player: "I've made a dragonfire pillbox"
Experienced player: "I use wild dragons to remove refuse, but only if a minecart dumps socks into the chicken coop"
vp: "So I built a dragon. It has magma inside its belly"

I like how it's covered in vomit too.

[martinuzz]

Dude! That's pretty darn nice dragon you got there!

[mobucks]

Quite the achievement! Thanks for sharing!

[BlackBronze]

Wow. That honestly has to be the coolest thing I've seen so far in Dwarf Fortress. It's so epic!
It almost saddens me that every single merchant, soldier, and citizen can only recognize that there's a wall here and a floor tile there, and not be able to fully grasp the fact that they're living inside a massive dragon. I would be the one tourist that spends about ten minutes gawking at it before finally realizing that I'm standing in someone's way.

The masterwork vomit covering is a nice touch.

Omg what if that is us irl? We're like "yup there are some planets over there" and have no idea it's part of an operational sculpture of an interdimensional monster imagined by its creators to be even greater than they? WE'RE THE DWARVES IN THE DRAGON WITH MAGMA IN ITS BELLY.

Brilliant design, I miss seeing things like this.

[Findulidas]

Pretty damn sweet, something to be proud of for sure.
