Most Epic Demons/Forgotten Beasts
« on: April 16, 2010, 12:51:35 pm »

So, what's your favorite demon/forgotten beast so far? Mine is a demon called a Brute of Emerald. They're these huge ticks composed of emerald that spit frozen chunks of poison, apparently. It's epic to fight them, since the swordsdwarves charge at them, batting frozen chunks out of the air, then engage in dangerous close combat. The most reliable way to kill them is to get them to charge past you into a glowing pit, though they can be taken down with sheer force of numbers too.

As for my favorite forgotten beast, gotta say that mine was a huge, squirming, eyeless pig.

Does a Chinchilla Brute count?

Giant Tick made of vomit with poisonous vapors. It killed a whole fortress of 40+ dwarves despite having all red wounds. Also, he left a big pile of vomit as his corpse when I reclaimed with seven axedwarf/fighters. I'm currently trying to figure out how to make my dwarves eat it.

I got a blob of snow with wings and a gaunt appearance.

It jumped in lava.

My personal favorites:
An enourmous Three-eyed wasp with large mandibles and Jade Chitin, beware its poisionous sting.
And a Golpher demon made of faint yellow diamond.

Oh i can't forget out the The skunk Titan that was named "The animal of drink" and had been killing off humans by the hundereds. Yes it had a secretion attack :P

A giant, four-horned Koala.  It murdered us so cutely!

I found a gopher demon who had become emperor of a civ in Adventure mode once. He must have been pretty awesome to overcome his disability of being a small rodent and conquer an entire nation.

I had an enormous quadruped composed entirely of vomit who spewed poison. He's probably the best monster ever.

He's hanging out in a billon cage, dead center in the Hall of Dorfenning.

Utimi Hatchex the God-Forsaken Lie

A three-eyed capybera.  Twisted into humanoid form.  It squirmed and fidgeted, and had a poisonous stinger.

It wore socks under sandals.  TERRIFYING.


I didn't even know capyberas were coded.  wtf

Entire fortress killed by a forgotten beast that was a Quadraped composed of vomit, with two straight tails. Beware its poisonous breath!

initially I though its poisonous breath wasn't doing much because my military dwarves had no visible injuries, and they cut it to bits with their spears (all its body parts were red)

However... it then started CRAWLING around the fort spewing its poisonous breath at everything.
The military died of their 'wounds'.... it turns out the poisonous breath rots pretty much everything, particularly their extremities. And rotted body parts don't show up as wounds. I only figured this out by closely examining a dwarf that was running around with a trail of miasma coming from him.

Anyway, 55+ dwarves killed by vomit monster. Plus another 35 dwarves from reclaim attempts, before I learnt that non-alive things were near-unkillable.

Yeah, you can get demons based on creatures not found elsewhere in the raws, like asses or stegosaurs.

For me, it was probably the enormous four-horned goats.
Most eerie, though, is the Fiend of Snow, an enormous spiral-shelled scarab made from snow.
Most pathetic goes to the towering, scaly, winged leeches. No way of attacking, nor any eyes ot see with.
