Recently in my fort I somehow managed to capture the menace of the area, a named giant skeletal eagle which killed five or so of my dwarves. Now it sits in a cage in my animal storage area. I was just wondering if there are any really good/fun uses for one of these things.

[Flashzom]

Build an atrium for it with perches and what not, build a double door air-lock and release gobblin prisoners into it (unclothed of course) and watch as the eagle's home becomes a haven of death and miasma.

But remember that it's a undead, so it cannot be tamed and has [buildingdestroyer]. And it flies. So keep plenty of cage traps around.

This will end well ...

[Retro]

Build a contained arena with an airlock antrance and allow it to fly free within. Then send in dwarves who are not worthy to meet their fate at the hands of Nounverbed!

[Asra]

Well it can't be tamed since it's already killed dwarfs too, right?

[KylonOrina]

Tell nobles to go pull a very important lever conveniently located in the eagles atrium.

I second the atrium idea. Put gem windows on the top z-level of the atrium so it's like a satanic, underground sacrificial pit.

Release it back into the wild once you have enough migrants.

Similarly, I recently captured a titan in a cage, and am now at a loss as to what to do with the guy. If I construct his cage in a meeting hall, will he terrify or delight the dwarves? And since he doesn't seem to have the [buildingdestroyer] tag, does that mean that he's safer to have around that your eagle?

Delight.

If he's caged, they'll be happy. Lack of buildingdestroyer makes him pretty safe to imprison in a more elaborate manner (though your dwarves will be scared if they see him out of a cage). His inability to fly is significant in this too.

I read from dwarf fortress wiki that building destroyers can't destroy artifact buildings and I happen to have one artifact door lying about. This would make it easier to contain if it's true.

If this is true, This makes artifact buildings much, much more awesome. (CMOOOOON ARTIFACT BAUXITE FLOODGATE!!!)

[xdarkcodex]

You can use the artifact door to block the door entrance so invaders can go in or break it. The trolls can stand there looking at the door for ages...

Troll: ooooooooo...door britiful
*gets shot in the head with a bolt*
urist marksdwarf: hehe stupid troll

Not really funny but meh.
