[Inconspicuous Idiot]

After wiping out a goblin siege, an entire migrant wave and a human caravan I managed to cage a 200 something (I think) year old dragon.

Currently I have no idea on what to do with the fire breathing beast, but it is able to boil gobbo armor like nothing else, has a 10,000 pet value, and a 15x value multiplier on butchering products, and it burnt to the ground every last tree, sapling, bush and farm animal that was above ground. That said I want to both slaughter it, to avenge the brave dwarfs it mercilessly killed, and use it as a nigh immortal war machine, seeing how bloody good it is against gobbos (and just about anything else).

Any good suggestions ?

Absolutely use it as a part of your defenses. Remember that, in the unlikely case that some goblins manage to take it down, you can still butcher it.

1) Fire turret. But make sure there are no flammable objects around and the turret's vision can be fully obscured by a lever pull, so as your militias don't get any funny ideas about attacking the dragon. This turret can also set off the cave-in traps, because fire destroys wooden supports.

2) Burning the outside or the caverns at will. Can hit the fps during the process, but is useful for defense and the junk/tree cleanup.

3) A nice thing for the dwarves to look at and admire. Fullfills the need to see great beasts, if I'm not mistaken.

4) Hoping for another dragon catch of the opposite gender, for breeding.

5) Disposal of undesirables.

- (Semi)megabeasts are mutually hostile to any military, including militia and caravan guards, as well as military visitors.
- You can only butcher a dragon killed by a siege if it is wild: tame animals killed by any means other than slaughter can not be butchered.
