I realized that I had forgotten to actually write up the bug report for this way back when I found it. I did a quick check of the the bug report archives and found nothing similar.

The dwarf in question migrated and was caught by a group of rhesus macaques. She then survived out there slowly being torn apart, yet surviving it all. Never getting hungry or thirsty but just surviving despite the fact that at the end a fair amount of her body had been torn off. The only thing that ended it was when the monkeys were scattered by a group of goblins, or as I found if the dwarves tried to save her she would die.

I have since lost the save, but hopefully it won't be too hard to replicate the circumstances. Complete peasant, surrounded by rhesus macaques, equals nearly a year and a half of slow painful death.

Did it ever rain?

[Kate Wissen]

I can't say for certain, but I'm fairly sure it did. It lasted for over a year.

The torture or the rain?

I've had places where it rained so much that it may as well be called a rainforest, it rained almost every day. It wasn't a continuous rain, but stop and go.

The torture lasted over a year. Like I said I can't recall it raining, but I'm fairly sure it did. It wasn't a harsh biome or anything.

Maybe it's the same thing? She was too interrupted to bleed, starve, get thirsty, die? Until gobbos haven't destroy this monkey-based extremely-painful stasis-camera.
That he winded at winter could be explained by all monkeys being unconsious(due to exertion) at the same time.

Hell, I want some untamed rhesus monkeys in my hammerer's private zoo Emperor's throne room
Oh, and Emperor himself, of course. And tons of warp in my river.

Now I want to know if you could harness this to create a monster that does no damage, but the sheer fright of being near it allows you to bathe in lava without combusting.  Probably not as heat damage uses a different system I'm sure, but it would be a fun way to handle hammerer problems.

[Ampersand]

If I recall correctly, severed limbs never regrow, but because all serious injuries have a chance to heal every season perhaps it was just a fluke in which the wounds happened the moment before the season change, and all the bleeding stopped the second the next day came. Then, it just laid there, maybe drank rain water that fell on it so it didn't get thirsty.
