Once a colossus came. first he tramped a bunch of migrants and got The Sock.
Then he proceeded to human caravan and outpost liaison.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Combat log was like
The bronze colossus strikes The outpost liaison in the head with his (pig tail fiber sock), bruising the muscle, jamming the skull through the brain and tearing the brain!

I like how it's the horse.

I once had a Giant Desert Scorpion wrestle a Battleaxe out of one of my Dwarf's hands, then go on a killing spree.

A man would see that as a difficult challenge.
An elf would see that and despair.
A dwarf would see that and say, "Bring it on."

With pure win!
In human terms, it didn't realy take just the axe, but rather the dwarfs arm holding the axe, them swung the arm around, causing the axe to hit things.

Giant Desert Scorpion claws have the [GRASP] tag.  Combined with their necrosis-inducing poison sting, the results can be . . . unpleasant.

I once had a werewolf turning into a real killing machine when it started hitting people with the mail shirt it stole from its first victim.
I once had a Bronze Collossus use one of those. This was back when they were nigh unkillable. I was doing pretty well against it until it realized it had ripped the mail shirt off of one of my companions. Then it ripped appart my internal organs with it.

This sounds like some sort of hilarious horror movie. They're battling the giant scorpion, falling back, they're kind of doing okay... and then one of them realizes it's grabbed the axe, and they just look at each other in horror for a moment before the true bloodbath begins.

Also, I now have even more reasons why I need to try adventure mode. Possibly modding giant scorpions to be playable first. :P

Once I embarked on a cave and it was inhabited by a giant ... he attacked a woodcutter and wrestled the axe from his hands. He then cut the dwarf in two and charged the wagon.

 There were no survivors.

Yeah, I had a then unkillable Bronze Collossus rip off a leather cloak and use it as weapon too. Only that the thing was sompletely useless as weapon, but it didn`t hinder him slapping my poor militia captain over and over with it until everything on him was bruised. At least this left me way enough time to wall them in and the militia captain eventually died of thirst while still getting slapped by the collossus.

Am I the only one that laughs until he cries visualising this?

That would make a cool goblin execution pit, spending eternity being slapped by a cloak.

You gotta realize, dwarfs wear clothes till they rot off. A creature wielding a encrusted thong from a female dorf that's had 8 babies, would be considered a deadly weapon.

Should you fail to comply, strict !!disciplinary actions!! will be taken. Also, we feel we should remind you that one of the "criminals" on your list is the chief medical dwarf. If he ends up too badly injured to do his job, you will be fired. Out of a magma cannon.

Surprisepalace! Overseers wanted!
But they never would have given up either. And compared to sitting around in this prison for the rest of my life? Losing is fun.

I had a yeti kill my axedwarf (the guard I brought) and take his copper battle axe. After he killed my speardwarf militia captian (after he killd the axedwarf) I let him do what he wanted. Thing is, I only figured out he had the axe after I was looking through the combat logs to figure out why the axedwarf wasn't killing him (her). He (the axedwarf) had 28 kills (mostly ice wolfs, one yeti).

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.
So I just started playing this game and I accidentally nuked the moon.
