[Roundabout Lout]

I was in adventurer fighting beak dogs, when my scimitar got stuck in ones throat, so i try to get back on my feet to pull it back out, when he uses the scimitar to cleave my upper body.... I'm confused.

Here is the last bit of game log

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You are no longer stunned.
The Beak Dog releases the grip of The Beak Dog's right lower arm on Your Rope reed left glove.
The Beak Dog grabs You by the nose with his right upper arm!
You break the grip of The Beak Dog's mouth on Your right lower leg.
The Beak Dog hacks at You in the upper body from behind with her Iron scimitar!
It is cloven asunder!
You are propelled away by the force of the blow!
You have been struck down.
The Beak Dog gives in to pain.

DF bug reports are so much cooler than the ones at work...

Had a batman chop me up with my own sword in a previous version and was told that it was not a bug.  In this case, however, I can't imagine a dog of any kind, beak or no beak, being able to wield a sword.  Maybe an Opposable Thumb Dog.

Unfortunately, whether intentional or not, beak dogs in this game actually have:

Code: [Select]

[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:MOUTH]
So they actually walk about like humans do.

Maybe they should be given a new [NO_THUMBS] tag so they don't wield anything.

The problem with it is largely that a lot of animals have [GRASP] for their foot-parts, like hooves and feet and whatnot. This means they're able to wield stuff, such as when they yank it out. Usually they just drop it on the floor, though, so the bug should be that the beak dog didn't immediately drop the sword, not that it was able to wield it in the first place.

Weird, why are they humanoids in the vanilla game?

Toady had stated in the past that beak dogs are not standard 4 legs dogs at all, they are shaped like 2 leged dinosaurs (tiranosaurus, velociraptor) with a beak.

Jury's still out on whether it's a bug or not.  My own take on the situation was that the adventurer just broke the thing's grip.  I'd like to think that in a fit of rage, the beak dog spun around and gored the adventurer with the pointy end of the sword coming out of the back of its throat.

Oh ok...well that explains it in that case.
Its weird I always had the imagination that goblin on a beak dog is something like an orc wolfrider, just smaller.
