Kung Ustruorgu, Law-Giver
"Kung the Dead Grave"
Law-Giver, Male

A huge hairy gila monster twisted into humanoid form. It murmurs horrible curses. Its lilac hair is long and shaggy. Beware its poisonous bite!

He is skinny.

---
He arrived soon after a human caravan and has been causing chaos by destroying all types of buildings, including the Trade Depot.

He's not attacking anyone, but goes around destroying buildings. He's now stuck at a door, not moving. Trying to deconstruct the door right now.
Should I attempt to attack him?
No trained fighters at the moment, since I've been relying on cage traps.

Deconstructed the door.
Sure enough, he starts moving again, destroying.
Oops. There goes my dining hall.
And he gets stuck again. I'm leaving him there for now.

Safe way out: build walls around him while he's stuck, then fill in the room with water/lava.

Or try attacking him and find out the fun way what sort of poisonous bite it has.

[Max White]

Do both!

Build an arena and trap him in it, then pit your dwarfs against him.

[PointZilla]

 GWAR!

 (Oh my, how handsome. AND he knows how to wreck constructions without killing. This will be useful for harvesting food for the young.)

[Coidzure Dreams]

Yeah, demon diplomats are borked right now.

Sometimes they'll chase brokers around to have a meeting with 'em, but be compulsively driven to destroy the office before the meeting can start and then terrify the poor broker so he runs off and then the diplomat chases him and stops to destroy everything in his way before resuming the chase.

...Very... Cartoonish wake of destruction.

[amade]

A diplomat with anger management issues.

ROFL!!!

[Vester]

GWAR!

 (Oh my, how handsome. AND he knows how to wreck constructions without killing. This will be useful for harvesting food for the young.)

Hehehe. Memories.

[wonmean]

He was stuck for a season or two, but he escaped again and caused handsome destruction.

Somehow, my dwarfs will not approach him when ordered to kill.

Will try to wall him in now.
Well, of course. Walls are down.

If you can't wall him, dig channels around him instead.

Bonus points if you cause a cave in that takes him down as well.

[Satarus]

Gotta love friendlies with BUILDINGDESTROYER tags.  IIRC, pets with it cause trouble too.

[wonmean]

Got it. Will catapults do the job?

[Sinistar]

I find buildings destroying diplomats quite entertaining.

Also this:

demonic diplomat

It murmurs horrible curses.

Can you imagine how amusing the diplomatic meeting must be?

Urist McMayor: "Uh, err, h-hello --"
Kung Ustruorgu: "BE ENGULFED IN CLOUDS OF LOCUSTS AND EATEN ALIVE, MORTAL, FOR I BRING GREETINGS FROM TRADING GUILD. THERE IS MUCH TO DISSCUSS REGARDING TRADE BETWEEN OUR NATIONS AND YOUR INEVITABLE DEATH CAUSED BY HORIBLE MUTILATION OF YOUR PELVIC FLOOR.
WE ALSO PROPOSE EXCANGE OF SILK SOCKS, COOKIES AND TOYS."

Hahaha!  I'm remembering the guy who modded a trading race to give them firebreath.  They didn't outright chase people or anything, but it turns out firebreath isn't part of the usual friend/foe equation.  It's kind of...  involuntary...  And someone who modded goblins with building destroyer.  All hell broke loose when they brought in a *caravan* instead of a siege...

You can hit any creature with a catapult I think.  Build a field of statues for him to play with and aim your siege engines at it.

You're probably thinking of ballistas, which are indeed capable of killing indiscriminantly - catapults, at least in 40d, were only known to hurt hostile creatures.

[Corona688]

Really.  So I can safely chain catapults single-file for a more dense 'blunderbuss' effect.  good deal!
