A hobbit were-peasant somehow punched me in the chest and bruised my right lung through my steel mail and steel breastplate.

...that bruise somehow suffocated me. I'm fairly certain I still had a functioning lung. I call bull on that death. Guess I should've broken his neck so he couldn't do anything except push me around.

...Well I'm never wrestling with the goal of raising attributes again. Should've just bashed the peasant with my bronze maul until he stopped twitching and moved on.

Referring to a mod earlier, I dropped into a world as a Dragon.
Several things happened:
1. I learned Dragons can't open doors.
2. I also learned Dragons can't fly.
3. How do people not panic when a dragon walk down a street in a town?
Anyhow, I proceeded to talk to this guy who I wanted to join my party. He refused, many times, and learned why it is a bad idea to make a dragon mad. (He lost his head to my jaws. Came clean off.) All of the merchants in the marketplace near me got mad, and came at me. They all died due to dragon fire causing some molten gold to explode, however that happened. I then died a slow death of boredom. I mean, running the same loop, burning and tearing things heads off... it gets tiring after so long.

I added a bunch of tags to my dragon so I could open doors. But dragons are chinese style and dont have wings in the raws(Ironically all spritepacks give it wings). You will also need to let it have no fat so it doesnt eat or give it the ability to grasp and wear items

It doesn't need wings to fly, just the [FLIER] tag. Without [FLIER] any number of wings would be useless.

I had a FPS death, I don't know why, I was in a lair and just making my adventurer starve to death, and now it'll stop responding 3 or 4 times before I move. I'd count that as a death :P

I think this is caused by a bug generating creatures, like animal men camps in the caverns or maybe regular animals, constantly and maybe exponentially. The sheer number of creatures on the map slows the processor to a halt trying to process turns for all of them, whether or not they're even doing anything.

I have an army of dragons. But they aren't very effective against goblins so I use giant cave spiders instead.
There are dead babies all over my legendary dining hall and my population has halved. Thank you.

One time I tried fighting a mummy as a bronze colossus but after ripping his limbs off I was unable to remove his head no matter what I did, causing me to try to do so for hours(IRL) while dozens of zombie bits attacked me.

Worldender. An OP Giant, I thought nothing could as mucha s touch me.

I didn't know elephants could strangle with their trunks.

EDIT: Also, in Masterwork the Frost Giants are OP. All my attacks just "glance away", no matter what kind of a weapon I use. My char? Superdwarveny strong, tough and agile Legion dwarf with Legendary +15 in a weapon, dodging and armor using.

This is bollocks, seriously.

Well... I was going after a Necro tower as a dragon, just having fun... burning them with fire, of course. I take a hit, losing all ability to stand. By this time, I learned how do destroy doors (breath fire while someone is standing in the doorway). I managed to get out, falling unconscious every other frame, yet I managed to get out, and travel. When I stopped... I was fully healed. How that happened... I don't even know. I went back... and before I got close, a Elf corpse sniped me in the head.

Also... Bronze Colossi apparently die if frozen as well. A magical metal statue, dying to being trapped in ice.

Was a vampire and killing people in a human fort, and I killed someone in one of the lookout towers. I walked down the staircase, then I saw, "The flying John Doe corpse strikes you in the head, the arm etc.." and I died somehow. Later I read the legends and it said, "Killed by a flying object", so I suppose I got crushed by a dead guy then...

I was sent to kill a bandit leader. I'm a Legendary +4 Swordsmaster with two injured companions. Upon reaching the camp, I saw many weaponmasters and even more regular bandits. I high-tailed it out of there, letting my companions take the fall. I fast-traveled away, saving one of my companions. My companion and I slept on a nearby road because it was getting dark. In the middle of the night, we were attacked by the same bandits. They surrounded and killed both of us, but not before I took 7 bandits with me, including a Macelord.

After killing a bunch of bandits, minotaurs,  weird lizard things in sewers, and hyenas (one of my axeman turned legendary wrestler mouth kissed to death) we got sent to deal with some dude in a swamp. Said "dude" turns out to be a demon or titan or something that flies down webs everyone and then murders the lot of us before the web wears off. And that is what its all about.

Gota hate em web Titans, I lost a few hero's to it until one day I decided to send a raiding party at it and successfully killed it, but with at least 1 or 2 casualties though, but it was worth it. :D
