"Who am I? I am a fine looking dwarf, I am!"

Dwarfs.... Using cleanliness and trimmed beards to intimidate other dwarfs....  :p

[Naturegirl1999]

Everyone talks in third person

[BigUglyWorm]

Every time a dog dies in your fortress - any dog, anywhere, for any reason - you are treated to a lengthy, unskippable montage of its life, starting as a puppy, set to sad music.  Woe betide you if a pack of wardogs encounters an armed opponent...or worse, you cue up a bunch to be butchered for materials.

There's a 10% chance that caravans from neighbouring civs will actually be prophets of other gods seeking to convert your dwarves to their civ's pantheon (complete with pamphlets). And good luck getting them to leave you alone after rolling on that 10% even once.

Dwarves experience hangovers.

A rare soil layer called the Groguifer: like an aquifer, but instead of water, it produces an endless flow of watery, low-value booze.

Any dwarves that get sucked in by these groups will proceed to send them all their valuables as tribute, then begin raiding your fortress for more loot to give them.  In return, they will receive written missives about things like "seed money", "divine returns", and "keeping the faith", as well as increasingly aggressive demands that they convert more of the fortress.

The game will pause sometimes just to say "It's time for Animaniacs..."

Trampling. If an upright creature moves over a prone creature(or creatures), it does blunt damage dependent on the size difference between the trampler and tramplee.

Nothing actually happens, it's just doing it to keep you on your toes.

Is it bad that I actually like this idea?

Introducing another race: hooch dwarves, they're like normal dwarves but so promiscuous that the things they copulate with don't necessarily need to be alive. Or exist.

That depends. Have you ever looked at a high-traffic, 1-tile wide corridor inside a generated dwarf fortress and thought to yourself, "these walls aren't red enough"?

Hooch dwarves have the ability to will anything they wish to copulate with into existence. Any fortress you play with them will quickly become overpopulated with god knows what.

Occasionally Statler and Waldorf will appear out of nowhere and use the announcement screen to make quips about whatever is currently happening in your fortress.
