Best *possible Spoiler* Creatures and Uses for Them
« on: September 13, 2010, 10:39:34 pm »

Well after training a bunch of cavern monsters like naked mole dogs, giant olms, and giant toads I was thinking what are the best type of cavern creatures for different things such as guarding or various other things.  I have a cave crawler who i plan to use in a trap by dropping gobos into a chamber and have it rip them to shreds.

I love VCCs. They're giant centipede things with a huge mouth for a head.

Personally, I would say Giant Cave Spiders are the best, because I can use them to trap [TRAPAVOID] creatures like kobolds (and possibly demons and forgotten beasts).

Plump helmet men are obviously the best food source from the caverns, if only for pseudo-memetic purposes.

Helmet snakes are the best fighters. If you don't know why, it's their syndrome, which the entire article is devoted to.

Bragging rights and zoos, especially if you trap about a dozen demons (because dwarves can like demons).

Variation of "long hallway of traps with holes on either side with traps at the bottom designed to make gobbos dodge themselves to their doom" using the FB instead of traps?

The 31.xx demons are procedurally generated.

You can't trap FB. Not even if you hit them with a cave in or webs.

Not with traditional traps but with some mechanisms and planning can't you make a FB chamber were you can dump your gobos/elves in.
