But the terrible part is that now is hardcoded into da game.

Thank you!

Petshop workshop:

A workshop where morally ambiguous dwarves will sell any animals they find to other dwarves as pets. Sure, that beakdog is trained, don't worry about it. No, that's not the yeti that killed 12 merchants - that's your new pet!

Basically like that scary anime series.

[Reelya]

I was wondering WTF series, but then realized I think I've seen the one you're talking about

Though the anime adaptation was only a few direct to video episodes.

The behavior of [INVADERS_IGNORE_NEUTRALS] applies to infant and children members of the fort as well. The reason being that if they are morally inclined to not kill a caravan for trading with the enemy, they should also have reservations against stabbing babies just because their parents happen to be enemies.
[/goodpartofsuggestion]
If a neutral-ignoring invader orphans an infant or child, it carries infants and leads children along like a dwarf bringing an animal to pasture, with no limit to the number of dwarves an invader can acquire in this manner. This means a siege can degrade into a desperate balancing act between wrangling a horde of sobbing children, juggling an enitre generation of dwarven babies, and trying to fight off their half 75% 97.7% stark-raving mad 200% insane neighbors, friends, and extended family all at once.
If an invader manages to leave the map with a dwarf in tow, it adopts them and integrates them as member of their civilization. The game treats this like an abduction, and you can send dwarves on missions to unadopt the child.

War Orphans: Personal Matter.

Dwarven babies must be pastured or they will die.

[Naturegirl1999]

Dwarven babies must be pastured or they will die.

Fwzrf babies will attempt to suckle other pastured animals in a sense of its mother. Dwarf babies will also attempt to ride an animal when not suckling. Dwarf babies who drink enough milk from other animals will gradually gain traits depending on how much of each animal’s milk they drink. Example: if a baby drinks 75% rabbit milk and 25% kangaroo milk, it will become a creature that is 75% rabbit and 25% kangaroo. Thus it can breed with rabbits and kangaroos

[Reelya]

Don't allow dwarves to breed with kangaroos or this will end up as an emo furry game similar to the emo furry webcomic Boston and Shaun. To give you an idea about that comic, the main human character turns into a human/dragon hybrid and there are macrophilia fetishes, such as being shrunk and put in a kangaroo-hybrid person's pouch. Dwarf/roo furry hybrids will have pouches with baby dwarf-roo furry hybrids in them, attracting even weirder people to the game.

[Bumber]

Don't allow dwarves to breed with kangaroos or so this will end up as an emo furry game similar to the emo furry webcomic Boston and Shaun.

FTFY

Oh great, now I remember that exists. Fantastic.

Artistically inclined and zany dwarves should occasionally start engraving graffiti everywhere if left idle for too long. Younger dwarves should should be more inclined to this behavior.
Dwarves with very low craftsmanship and artwork values may also engrave over existing artwork to deface it. This destroys the original engraving, with the expected effect on its creator, but the new engraving always incorporates elements of the original engraving.

[Naturegirl1999]

I think my suggestion was misunderstood. If a baby dwarf does not have dwarf milk, they wouldn’t be a dwarf, whichever animal’s milk they drink, they become, so in my example, the dwarf wouldn’t be a dwarf anymore, it wiuld be a rabbit kangaroo hybrid

What thread do you think you're in, Reelya.

[BigUglyWorm]

As dwarves never excrete anything, all the mass of the food they eat and liquid they drink should, by all rights, be conserved forever.  As such, once a dwarf stops growing, they slowly become more and more dense; a sufficiently long-lived and well-fed dwarf will become a tromping mass of meat heavier than an equal-sized lump of slade.  This makes falls a lot more...interesting.
