I have a fortress on a map with a chasm. There are lots of small caves near it, where antmen, ratmen, giant rats and other creatures dwell. I didn't intend to dig into those caves until I have a competent military. But I see that these creatures are dying, and occasionally miasma flows in the chasm. It doesn't really affect my gameplay, but I find it rather strange.

They often fight amongst themselves, I think. I've also seen cougars and wolves kill deer. At least that was my assumption as to what was going on, as I had no hunters.

They're dying of old age - antmen and ratmen in particular only live 3-4 years, and they don't reproduce.

So eventually there would be no more as chasms don't spawn new units?

Yep. Although you can speed this process up by, say, diverting part of a river into the caverns on the edge of the chasm the antmen are using. Great times.

I tend to mod the antmen and ratmen to have babehs

this way i can wall up the place until i want to have a bit of fun and slaughter them, once i'm done, i chuck a few more in, seal it up, and and wait
