Haven't been playing adventure mode much but I have found one quite fun thing. I hit a ceetah, and it flew about 10 tiles and now it is at top of a tree, over "open space".
Probably a common thing happening all the time, but its still fun when you notice that this is possible too.

The funny part is this was posted on this very page. haha
Edit: I just knew me saying this would create a new page.

For that viciously bad pun, I'm gonna introduce a NPC named Vlynndar just so that I can kill him of in a cruel and unusual way.

When humans conquer large amounts of elven territory, they deforest it fast.  I got to see the whole thing in worldgen.

The Trees regrow when Elves take back or over a place.
Noticed it as a Elf went back and forth against its enemy, Go dull and the Trees would disappeared around it, then go bright yellow and the trees came back...

Unless I'm just missing something else happening, it seems like vermin can escape from their cages and slip away when you try to tame them.  I've had my animal trap dragged to my kennel twice with the notice just when my Dungeon Master got there that there were in fact no small animals to tame, and the vermin was no longer in the trap or animal screen.
It makes sense that there is a chance for failure, but the error message is odd and the wiki doesn't mention anything about it.

Dwarves just love to munch vermin, especially high value vermin.  I usually keep my vermin caged on the opposite side of the food stockpiles, and have a special kennals there for taming them.  Otherwise the working sop will be intercepted by the first child deciding they are hungry, and arrive with an empty cage.

In 76, the human Mori  devoured Toslu in Zephyrcanyons.

Toslu was a frog demon.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

so it doesn't strike you as odd that a HUMAN ate a demon? Elves do that kind of thing

As Jackrabbit said, he was French and it was a Frog demon.

Alternately, maybe it was raised by elves.

The top of a wall adjedcant to a floating bit of rock that would otherwise cave in acts like a floor and connects that floating slab of rock to whatever else.

If you're wrestling in a liquid environment and throw your opponent, they'll go all the way to the bottom until they hit a solid layer. Doing a take-down on them keeps them on the same z-level.

I found this out while playing a modded-in titan swimming in the ocean ambushing merpeople.

Demons aren't sentient, so I guess humans think it's ok to eat them.  Although usually they don't eat megabeasts, do they?

Wait, how would they even find a tentacle demon? And the demons ruling gobbos are definetly sentient.

But the backup demons?  The ones that mindlessly spawn out of the very depths of hell?
