I'm playing the martial arts mod and the Dark Outcast just arrived to sell me stuff. Over the past several years I have only been buying cages and animals off them so they would bring me even more strange animals. They bring me all sorts of weird creatures. I've got wolverines, bears, mammoths, golems and even more. Just now when I bought their animals I seem to of purchased a named Stray Gremlin Hunter (Tame). I didn't even notice it until I was transferring animals and saw that I could shove something named into the cage.

I'm going to release him and see what happens.

Edit:
She has been released and doesn't seem to be doing anything. I can't assign her any task. It just says "This animal can't work." and gives me the option of slaughtering poor Fiweno Fedmorsels however she is trained as an ambusher. I'm a little worried about leaving her to wander around the fort though since Gremlins can pull levers and I have a lot of levers that control my vast plumbing network. If these levers are pulled by the wrong hands they could flood half the fort.

Any suggestions from the forum?

Let the gremlin do its thing! Should provide a nice suprise when you next get invaded and realise 1/2 your army is about to drown anyway.

Chuck it in your cistern and see what happens.

Whatever you do, don't let it eat after midnight and keep it away from water.

Don't eat it after midnight or drink water.
Not like that should bother a dwarf much.

Seconded, or wait till it eats after midnight and sell the fluffy balls to human merchants telling them they should lay it in the food cart at night to keep out rhesus marqua's :)
You could also give the flufthingy's to the elves, once a critter hatches they wont be able to resist giving it some food (after midnight).
After that, just let a few years roll by and see which of the two zerg-party's won, elves or mutated-fluffballs ^^

Ah, good old semantics, how I hate thee. I thought the topic title was talking about someone who hunts gremlins; not a gremlin trained as a hunter. Made the rest of the topic really, really confusing.

Dude, my rule is: "If the it is hostile, kill it. If it is edible, EAT IT."

Modify: This would explain that tame toad that mysteriously disappeared from my animals list. Musta gone down the gullet of a dwarf.

And thus did the dream of dwarven antigravity fade away, not with a massive explosion or a flood of magma, but with a whimper.

I'm going to be depressed all day now.
