They are awesome. I want to put a leash on them and take them for a walk.

They are good, espically to keep the caverns interesting and train my dwarfs.

Whatever, they are just a new part of the game.

Is anyone really still having problems with "unkillable" forgotten beasts (and this isn't their first fort in 31.x?)

I haven't gotten a single forgotten beast, and I've been playing (not  constantly) since 31 was released. I'm betting I'll have some troubles with an inorganic FB.

I just have a question:what is the difference between the randomly generated monsters?

[Lost Requiem]

They're just that. Randomly generated from materials and anatomies in the raws.

I've had four Forgotten Beasts to date.

The first was a cave crocodile with a shell and hair. He relinquished a LOT of bones, shells, hair, and meat.

The second was a humanoid with wings made of steam and loved the water. He forced me to drain an underground lake into the magma sea to lure him out.

The third was a quadruped made of coal and a noxious breath that caused temporary dizziness and seemingly permanent blindness. He didn't feel pain and he didn't bleed. Even with a squad of Hammerlords, they broke all the body parts he had and even lopped a few off, but couldn't remove the head. It took my Axe Lord to come in and finish him off. Now I have a squad of blind dwarves and 22000 dwarfpounds worth of coal.

The fourth was a quadruped made of mud and shot ice. This time, he couldn't even hurt a cat (literally, even with a direct hit from his freeze attack). His rampage ended in an instant when a Hammerlord came up and smacked him into a wall, cutting him in half. Now I have a strange material in my fortress that weighs less than one dwarfpound and has no material name. It's been reported already.

I have "Rubal's Aluminum" in a stockpile left over from my first inorganic FB. It will never rot, can't be touched by any dwarves or reactions. The best long-term plan is to treat it like an artifact (dump it in its own room and lock the door) or trash compact it if you don't care.

I'm really surprised some of you don't get many FB attacks.. Once I penetrate the cavern layer, I get 2 per year, like clockwork.
