"A gigantic noseless ass twisted into human form. It appears to be emaciated. Its lilac hair is long and wavy. Beware its poisonous vapors!

He is average size."

So I've heard about these forgotten beast diplomats, about how they destroy everything and whatnot (even [ c ]onstructed [ w ]alls, at least that's what I read). Because of this and because of my lack of experience with killing non-enemy units, what is the best way to handle this thing? Or should I just scrap this pretty successful fort?

Also, an ass, really? At first I thought it was a donkey or something, but it would just be called a donkey...

I actually just had a case where the humans had a forgotten beast for a king, their coins were labelled and everything.

Ended up trapping it inside of a house
So constructed walls are not affected unless that beast has the proper tags I think

Where'd you read this?

A thread somewhere on these forums. Someone was trying to trap it with walls and it was able to break walls. He must've been mistaken since that just seems too FUN.

Anyway, I didn't give it much attention because I thought "Pfft! I'd never get a FB diplomat!"

And trapping the beast isn't going so well. He's on my main staircase seemingly teleporting through floors destroying doors, then coffins, then workshops. On top of that, there's something rotting in the fort, producing huge clouds of miasma. I can't keep track of it. If he gets to the beds, I'm screwed. I'm currently experiencing a serious wood-based food shortage, with barely enough wood for barrels (all my barrels are apparently filled with seeds, tallow, ect, ect).

EDIT: "Wall toppled by Mapi, law-giver."

I guess he wasn't mistaken.

Constructed walls cannot be destroyed. Floodgates, grates and such can, however .. I've heard that beasts can destroy walls that are under construction but that's about it. Also, hang in there! Don't let the man get you down.

  what.

I didn't think we were anywhere near destructible constructions yet...

Actually, Aspgren was right, it can only destroy walls under construction. After they're finished, they're invincibile.

And I caught the ass! On my wood-storage level, using a complex set of walls and "remove up stairway/ramp" designations. And it only severed my main staircase in half! But I still have to clean up the other levels which have random standing walls and missing stairs. :/ Nearly seems not worth the trouble.

I also have no idea how I'm gonna kill it. It won't go crazy or starve, will it?

[Rumrusher]

why kill it's just looking for your leader.
that ass was just tripping on top of your stuff and destroying it by accident.

if you have a uncompressed save you can edit the raws of the beast and remove the building destroyer tag and make it less destructive.
if not then you could wall up the fort and dump the leader outside when it comes.

Leave the stairway severed, and the free standing walls and whatnot all still in place. It's more fun that way. Now build something cool around the ass fiend. He might go crazy, but I doubt it. He certainly won't starve.

Indeed, this is only for walls under construction, and add that even the old Funbeasts, like Spirits of Fire, frequently did the same.

It says donkey when it means donkey. You're being attacked by buttocks.

[Osmosis Jones]

It's an ass, not an arse folks. An ass is just a big donkey. Though I'll admit, with those poisonous vapours, you should be worried.

Use Magma! It solves every problem.

Kinda reminds me of this.

Does the local biome freeze? If so, expose the room to the surface, flood the pit with water, and turn him into a fiendsicle. Much better than magma because you can then mine the ice out to reclaim his corpse.
