This makes falls a lot more...interesting.

It does indeed. Your average one-hundred-year-old dwarf could then pound a goblin into a pancake shape and flatness just by losing his balance.

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.

When a dwarf dies, the freshest items they ate/drank can be harvested, partially digested things can be taken out as well

If they get dense enough the can collapse into a black hole when they die.

Why wait their deaths?

"Ushod's gettin a bit hefty, ain't he?"
"Aye, one more tallow roast and he's gonna Collapse."

"Ach, there he goes."

When these dwarves drop z-levels, they create massive shockwaves.

[Sanctume]

A necromancer creates the first Tribble, and it soon control a region.  Any trader transporting a Tribble to another region civ will eventually be taken over by Tribbles.  The goblin civs will go all out war when they see any Tribble. 

[IonMatrix]

But what ARE Tribbles?

[Bumber]

But what ARE Tribbles?

Trouble.

[Naturegirl1999]

But what ARE Tribbles?

Trouble.

I think they are small furry asexually dreproducing spheres that may or may not consume metal for sustenance

[Reelya]

They definitely don't eat metal. In the original episode they exploded in number in the grain storage.

Game shows:

Dwarves develop gameshows in world gen and have their favorites. Every dwarf wants to be on a gameshow, a need that cannot be met in fortress mode. Dwarves will petition for game show studios to be built, but again, such a designation doesn't exist.

Great. I can't wait for nobles to start demanding hammerings for anyone failing to build a slade gameshow studio.

Dwarf game show The Price is Right prizes: 
A brand new Cheetah Wagon.  Now powered with 2 cheetahs that can go 0 to 3 tile per tic.

[IonMatrix]

Is that Cheetah Wagon supposed to be a sports car or something?
