"The pop at the time was 20, and we barely had any money worth of stuff, so its not a titan." And titans can have special attacks. I know, from experience. Also, titans don't casually leave the map. Read the thread next time. AND I MEAN THE ENTIRE THING!

THINGS WE KNOW:
ITS NOT A TITAN
ITS NOT A FORGOTTEN BEAST
ITS NOT A MERCHANT
ITS NOT AN INVADER
ITS NOT A DEMON LAWGIVER
ITS NOT A DIPLOMAT
ITS NOT A MIGRANT
ITS NOT A BIG TRUCK

WHAT IT MAY BE:
GLITCH
ADVENTURER FROM ANOTHER CIV WHO HAPPENED TO WANDER ONTO MY MAP
KOFFING
A SERIES OF TUBES

WHAT IT DID
WALKED AROUND
GOT A CUT ON A TOE SOMEHOW*

*I REMEMBER IT HAVING A CUT ON ITS TOE.

CAPS LOCK IS STUCK

His name means Mansion Shadowlantern. Discuss.

That would be as deadly to the wielder as to anyone else!  You'd sever your own arm at the first swing!  It's perfect!

That is an awesome name. His lantern is a flashdark, the cousin of the flashlight.

My guess is that he was an adventurer from a different civ, it's just that the game doesn't expect this sort of thing to ever enter your map and just treated it like a FB or Titan in announcing it.

Someone else reported an axedwarf showing up on their map like this - with the message of a forgotten beast - who hung around in the underground for a few seasons and then leave.

Therefore, it looks like this kind of thing can be reproduced and happens with some regularity in the latest 31.ox iterations. Maybe it is an unintended glitch somehow?
