Wouldn't it be just awesome to have armor or weapons for your war animals?  :D

At first I thought this was about using animals as armour. Funny what DF does to you.

Using live animals as armor? Hmmmmm... Wrestling as they claw your enemy's eyes out? That's not to bad of an idea though. Would any of this be possible to mod in?

Mounts should definitely get armour of some kind. Since ancient times armoured war dogs were used for guarding caravans and even used on the battlefield to attack the enemy.

16th century, armoured dogs used by Conquistadors.


A modern set of armour in the same vein.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

ELEPHANTS!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

They're like medieval tanks, only far less controlable and prone to trampling your own guys by accident or "accident"... who wouldn't want something like that in a fort?


Edit: And I don't mean strapping living elephants to dwarves as armor, though it does sound awesome.

I don't know why, but I lol'd when I saw that dog. I love Staffs ( the dog breed, not the weapon, said differently lol ). When I have steady work again I'm planning on getting one and I too will dress him in armour like this, so I can lol, plus it would be awesome if someone broke into my house and an armoured staffordshire bull terrier attacked them.
