[40d] Berserk Dwarf

One of my dwarves went berserk and I can no longer select him in the 'v' menu. This includes looking for wounds.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

any state of permanent insanity dooms the dwarf, removing him from listings. All insane dwarves stop eating, and inevitably die from it, if nothing else kills them

stark raving mad makes him run around babbling, and taking his clothes off.


melancholy makes them suicidal, and look for a way to drown/fall down a pit untill dead

berserk makes them homicidal, and seek to kill other dwarves, not sure how they choose their mark but they don't stop(and military/guardsmen will attack, thankfully)



basically hes no longer a functioning member of society, but a berserk maniac who will die, most likely to your own dwarves.

Yeah, but can't you still (v) over creatures, even hostile ones, and see their list of wounds?
