How did I miss the existence of this thread?
(Don't attempt to answer that.  Down that path lies ... well I was going to say madness but you all run towards madness as if it was made from chocolate and puppies.  Just forget I said anything.)

Kiwi, kakapo and koalas. 

Good for both animals starting with 'k' and the Antipodes. Still, a War Sloth should be fun, rather than fast...

Because DF players are heavily into pain.

I can see that crabs are in as well comrades. The next DF would be awesome indeed.

Bee cause

I chuckled.

Venomous snakes will be cool if/when they bite and inject venom.

Venomous snakes are already totally doable arn't they? Realisticaly, we should be most looking forward to anything that we can't propperly mod in yet. Termites for example...

(magma) Crabs have always been in the game... If it's vermin style might as well call them red turtles and no one would ever suspect. Palette swap != new content.

Oh, okay. Never noticed them when I made fortresses.

These "magma crabs" that you speak of, do they use pincers?

With the addition of bees, Dwarf Fortress and Animal Crossing are very likely to merge into a single event horizon fairly shortly.

 I am hoping that some animals, like magpies, have something like [CURIOUSBEAST_SHINY] instead of [CURIOUSBEAST_ITEM], and that tamed animals with either tag still continue the habit. Would be neat to have a tame swarm of animals that steals from traders and piles their stuff in parts of the meeting hall or dwarves' rooms.

Imagine a cool peice of sky-blue and milk-white marble about 3cm by 2cm and by 0.5cm, containing a tiny 2mm malacolite crystal. Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.

I look forward to squid and octopi. Especially the latter.
