This happened just after i released it from a cage (I purchased it from the dwarven caravan)

The mule is not injured at all... all bits are white.

And I havent given mules the [Intelligent] flag or anything crazy like that either.

So when I try and try and try, mules don't work, but when they are not supposed to, they do.

I think the mules are far smarter than we think. Even as we speak, they are plotting to overthrow ToadyOne and install in his place a quadrupedocracy!

Perhaps I have said too much...

Did the mule drop anything?  A mule will cancel any storage job it gets stuck with because of "injury" because it has no grasps.  I'm curious as to why the mule was carrying something though (I think this is the only way it would get a storage job).  This bug was reported a long time ago, but I never got enough details to figure it out.

I don't know how it's coded exactly, but mules that are part of caravans do carry stuff and store it in the trade depot. The mule might have thought itself part of the caravan, even though it was a trade good instead of a pack animal.

I did buy the mule from the traders... so maybe it considered itself part of the caravan? Sorry toady i didnt check to see if it dropped anything. Although I dont think it did...

[Toady One]

Nah, it's not going to be that, at least not directly.  The mules created for the caravan are associated to the caravan prior to the creation of the traded animals.
