I will always hold a burning hatred special place in my heart for Unicorns.

Rhesus macaques (like keas, but also bite) and giant badgers/badger-people (bite way harder). Also, elves.

Any of the birds that steal your crap. They don't just steal your stuff they also cause tantrum spirals if the wrong dwarf is outside when another dwarf rips the head off a kea.

Rhesus Macaques you can ward off with dogs.

One of the dwarfs walked in front of Thor to get a better view of the prye, and Thor kicked him irritably into the middle of the flames, which made Thor feel slightly better and made all the dwarfs feel much worse.

Keas.

Thieves, winged, and their pronunciation causes prison riots.

The fort in my sig had a big problem with them. It was an incomplete (read: completely undefensible) above-ground fort with open-air quarries and a reliance upon fruit-gathering. So everyone was outside. The macaques would always rush in and screw everything up, since all of my fort's goodies were available to path to and they darted for the most valuable (artifacts and metal things in the interior of the fort.) And scared and injured my civvies on their way.

But I haven't had problems with them for a while in subsequent forts, so they're forgiven.

Keas. And as I've said many times, those things are probably the only DF creature that's worse in real life than in game.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Kobolds, with wings, that arrive in hordes, that "visit" you 10 times a season, every season.  The more intelligent among them have even learned how to become necromancers...

So yeah, i LOVE Keas!

Grey langurs. They seem to be a lot more common than keas, and they're sneaky enough to avoid detection sometimes in aboveground stockpiles. I don't have any love for crocodiles either. They're like carp in the older versions, except they don't have any problem whatsoever with chasing dwarves onto land.
