Regardless of the fact the underground regions dont show up with names theres still some interesting stuff.

Had a dwarf who started as a farmer and then at world gen's end was a militia commander who made frequent trips to the nearby underground realm and tamed the creatures there (Giant toads, giant rats, giant olms) and she doesnt have a single kill.
 she still hasnt come face to face with the forgotten beast down there.

Loving it all so far. anyone else got some awesome legends?

The deadliest (most kills) creature in my world is made entirely out of vomit.

Just started looking at the legends after doing what seems to be the standard "Dig until your fort is overwhelmed by FUN" run. (Got to z-45 before I found the CIRCUS and 50 CLOWNS spawned in and raped my fort.)

Were dragons able to be zombies before?  Because I have a zombie dragon on my legend list.

Edit:  Found a good one!
"Enure was a forgotten beast.  It was the only one of its kind.  A huge moose with external ribs.  It has knobby anennae and has a bloated body.  Its periwinkle hair is long and wavy.  Beware its deadly spittle!  Enure was associated with nighmares and caverns."

I saw this in an engraving, and it's pretty damn cool to imagine.

Nek Nourishrelic is a human, surrounded by giant eagles. This artwork is related to the taming of the Giant Eagles of The Crest of Helping in 550.

I can imagine Nek standing on a mountaintop, with giant eagles flying around him, as he battles one for dominance. And then wins.

I was mucking around in Adventure Mode and talked with some Elf locals (it was a human-owned Elf Retreat that I guess was captured in a war.)  They informed me that apparently, the warlord of this human society had been systematically going to every forest on every side of the city and taming all the grizzly bears from all of them until he had a massive army of grizzly bears.  I was hoping to see grizzlies wandering around the city, but sadly there was no sign.  (Also, one of the Elves was listed as a Farmer, but when I asked his profession, he said he was an engineer.)

So far I've seen lots of great forgotten beasts in my legends (my favorites are a winged hadrosaur made of fire, and a skinless gila monster twisted into humanoid form), but none of them have yet to make any foolery on the surface world.

When that kinnda stuff gets implemented walking around in adventure mode is just gonna get weird

Has anyone else had the the choice to play as a Forgotten Beast?
It popped up in my adventurer window and promptly crashed upon loading the game.

Bax Sinmute the Growths of Pricing was a goblin born in 30.

Became a farmer in 42.

Began hunting great beasts in 47.

Murdered by Smunstu Jackalstokers in 237.

Nine Notable Kills
-4 Cougars in The Hills of Perfecting
-5 Goblins in Boundghouls

Seven Hundred Eighty-Six Other Kills
-254 Groundhogs in The Hills of Perfecting
-240 Horses in The Hills of Perfecting
-264 Rhesus Macaques in The Hills of Perfecting
-28 Cougars in The Hills of Perfecting

I imagine the Hills of Perfecting are now buried under a gigantic ocean of blood.

How do you see the notable and other kills thing in legends? I just saw a generic kills list of humans/dwarves/elves at the bottom of a hydra's legends page, none of the other creatures were counted even though he devoured lots.

[Xanares]

Found two really funny ones in my first world gen.

I love how permanent megabeasts are in this version.  I was reading about a hydra in one of my worlds that had over three hundred kills, and was worshipped by lots of humans and dwarves.  I didn't even know that dwarves could worship megabeasts.

[carebear]

Okay either Toady made the megabeasts a bit too powerful, or my genned humans/dwarves are just horribly bad. Or maybe they live in small groups.

I generated a large island world which has 70 megabeasts, of which over a period of 1050 years, NONE died. And they weren't hiding either. One hydra had done 50 rampages, and there was one megabeast with over 1000 kills. They all have many worshippers.

There were also around 900 forgotten beasts but those weren't up to much.

Here's one:

As for other monsters, one human town suffered over 80 Monster Rampages.

[Xanares]

They are powerful, but on the other hand these humans/dwarves they battle in world gen are weaklings compared to legendary fortress dwarves (I don't know about adventurers).

So, either the skill progress code for world gen fighters/heroes has to change or you have to nerf Megas, with the sad effect that they will be easy peasy for your soldiers in fortress mode.

I would aim for the first one.

If I am mistaken on the skill progress in world gen I apologize in advance, but this is my exp.

[InsanityPrelude]

Wiki suggests that megabeasts have simply been made immortal during worldgen.

[Wirevix]

Not all of them have - checking my legends, I had a titan that died in year 2 (not entirely sure how, haven't checked), and a few other megabeasts had death-dates as well.  They're mostly just intensely tough, it seems.

I'm more used to it though, since I always used to mod all my megabeasts to be outrageously large (and designed a custom hydra bodyplan that made them much harder to kill, hehe) and I was used to only a small number dieing before worldgen finished.  It's more interesting that way!
