"I accidentally dislodged a single tile at ground level while trimming the hill around the fortress entrance, and it punched through a lava moat, a gem stockpile and a bone stockpile before coming to a halt in someone's bedroom.  The bedroom's owner, a planter, was in bed at the time, and he got up and walked to the door just in time to get a coating of lava, gems, bones and scorched legendary miner chunks."  -NCarter

Antlions?
You'd have a network of tunnels just under the surface (in a desert or beach), with frequent up stairs and military dwarves and miners stationed near the up stairs.  As soon as someone steps on the sand the miners dig down stairs and the military starts pouring out at the doctorgoblin.
You can step on babies for a quick heal.

Update on my spider pit;

10 Spiders (Comedians and so on, with silly social skills... wtf?)
vs
3 Orc Squads, around 21 Orcs or so, 1 Orc Leader, SwordMaster (superthough).

Who do you think won?

Nice HL2 ref.

This is Dwarf Fortress! If we can chuck magma at innocent wildlife, we can do ANYTHING!

It was at this point that I realised that dwarves are actually the essence of chaos. What else can make perpetual motion machines, recursive statues with more building materials than the average tower and has such a short attention span that a damn fine chair can off-set the death of their entire family.

"If you can't build a tower upon a sheer cliff face over which you may throw precisely one hundred and fifty-two kittens and seven stalwart dwarves to their explosive doom some fifty stories below, then brother, your game ain't much of a sandbox, is it?"

You have to feed the GCS more slowly. It just works better that way.

Well I save scummed to the point before the invasion and droped 23 Legendary Dogs into the pit (they all had Can_learn and where pitted until this moment). As well as a horse, a dromedar and 3 cats.

Legendary Dogs;

It did not end any better, 3-5 Orcs just kill evrything or wound it enough for the next squad that gets droped down to finish them off. Made a nice mess though;

Legendary Mess-y Pit;

The chambers you see north-ish of the pit is where i used to "airlock" feed the spiders.

You should really make them into war or hunting dogs before dropping them into a pit, it makes a big difference

"Superdogly tough!" lol
