Forgotten beast (spoilers, obviously)

Are humanoids killable?  A squad of legendaries with steel weapons could only slightly hurt it (chop off some minor bits).

It depends on what it's made out of.

Yeah, it's not a matter of shape, but of material. Mostly, you can only kill (with weapons that is) those that are organic or otherwise breakable. The inorganic, unkillable FB's need to be killed using magma or a combination of magma and water (the former kills most things, the latter kills everything - without exception).

So we got monsters above, monsters below, dwarves in the middle and a party in the dining hall. Sounds good to me.
If all else fails, remember one thing:  kittens are delicious, nutritious little goblin-baiters, cavern explorers, and ambush-finders.

Oh, so a vomit monster can only be killed by an infusion of magma?

And they appear to be immune to traps also.

I killed a vomit monster by freezing it. >.>

It seemed to kill it without worry.
