Had some fun in the arena today; had several Alligators fight eachother to the death until one was a super badass, then I threw a skeletal giant cheetah at him. The battle only lasted a few seconds but I managed to catch the cheetah's "z" menu right before it died. Didn't think to check the log, but this says it all.

Not to ruin the fun but, wouldn't most of these have been present from the beginning given that it's a skeletal creature? The entries all being for things such as hair / muscle / fat / skin / etc...

Yah undead have multiple wounds straight out of the box.

Pff, I once threw a silver bolt onto a human child so hard that it entered in head and continued all the way down through the neck, spraying blood all around.

Permission to put this in the quote section of the wiki?

  I thought the death-bolts weren't in DF anymore...

hmmm shouldn't those 'undeath related' injuries have some kind of message culling? I mean it's nice to know it's missing skin and all but...

[Ironhand]

A blanket "all of her soft tissue (or skin/muscles separately) is gone" would be nice, but
right now it looks like it just iterates through the list of parts and prints what's missing.

It seems like you could implement an exception for skeletal creatures, though...

How do you use the skeletal creatures?  I know there is a way, but I only can get the underground creatures+vanilla creatures to work...>_>

Are you running v0.31.03? Undead arena support was added then.

[Deimos56]

If you ARE running 0.31.03, then you should direct your attention to the lower right portion of the 'create-a-critter' screen. The option to produce undead is a toggle.

[Umi]

Thanks.  I didn't see that toggle.

The only way to kill unlife is to cleave it in two, atom smash it, melt it, or encase it in obsidian/ice, or cave it in.  Weapons don't seem to be able to cleave a creature in two so the only way to do that to drop it from high enough to make it go splat.  Atom smashing doesn't work on large creatures.  Obsidian/ice won't always work if they vaporize water from multiple tiles away.  That only leaves the cave ins as a reliable way to kill the unliving.
