I have heard described many forts where one particular creature would become tied to the forts populace, Be it Giant eagles, cave crocodiles, werewolves, or whatever the creature usually becomes like a second population, that is fed invaders (and in some cases unicorns) to give them names.

So what are your favorites?

[Vercingetorix]

Tigermen.  I buy them from elves and liberate them all, allowing them to live out their lives socializing in the main hall with the dwarves.

[FleshForge]

I keep meaning to see if I can make elephant cheese.

I dunno if this is what you mean, but i bought a few bears into my fort and now have like 40-50 of them with numbers increasing rapidly.
My personal favorites were my three dragons that i was trying to get to make babies in my old 40d fort. no success. dunno if possible.

Breeding FBs might be fun, getting randomly generated FB-babies.

Exactly, the sort of creatures that you end up either replacing war dogs with or, keep as a secret weapon. That breed and spread through your fort like cats.

Also breeding FBs What would happen if it had deadly blood, and you accidentally butchered it?

[pieisgoo]

Cows. Cows are badass.

[rat_pack40]

Horses, mostly chained at my entrance, and if I'm on a desert embark, replace the horses with camels, preferably the two humped variety.
Both are the most vicious creatures I've chained up for watchdog position.

[melomel]

melomel likes tigermen for their ability to become the mayor, elephants for their bloodthirsty nature, and raccoons/macaques for their ability to deter/detect thieves.

[Sphalerite]

Cows, because I can tell what gender they are when deciding to buy then or selecting which ones to assign to a chain.

And because they make milk which eventually turns into masterwork cheese roasts.

And for their haunting moos.

[Internet Kraken]

Octopre. They're a common domesticated animals I modded into the game. They're like dogs in function, only octopuses, so they fit into the ocean theme of my forts. They serve as the main food source for my forts, so I'm quite fond of them. They can also serve as decent war animals, though I don't generally use them for that purpose.

[Zaik]

Definitely Elephants.

Pretty tough war animals and they make 80 million babies to butcher for tons of expensive meat/bones/ivory/etc.

it's a shame it takes so long for the little ones to grow up.

[Bomepie]

I modded unicorns in a 40d fortress to make them trainable without a dungeon master. War unicorns were badass, especially when I got the numbers up over 50.

[Patchy]

I do a lot of arctic maps, and quite commonly have war walruses if I start close enough to an arctic ocean. Otherwise I usually replace my dogs with ice wolves and polar bears.

[Gnauga]

Wolves.
Because if I mod them to be trainable, they become War-Wolves.

[synkell]

Definately war giant eagles. I can just sit behind my fortress walls and let them fly out to kill the occasional goblin ambush.
