I have never been invaded by a memorable forgotten beast or anything else. How about you?

a winged one eyed slug. Not all that memorable in and of itself, but it bled an ichor that somehow caused all the dorfs in my fortress to lose their skin. They are so metal that they don't even care. Just a bunch of skinless freaks popping out babies and killing goblins.

Girlinhat: The biggest issue seems to be size.  A 1x1 room would allow for maximum child desecration.

A green glass lobster with a trunk that had deadly dust. When it encountered my ( blind and scarred ) military, it promptly propelled itself off a cliff, broke off a pincer and just sat there for the rest of eternity. Then the game crashed.

"Strike the earth!"
"A section of the cavern has collapsed"
"Your fortress has crumbled to its end"
Yeah, in the future you probably shouldn't strike the earth quite so hard

A giant blob composed of vomit.

A man made of fire who walked into the water, evaporated about half of it, and hasn't been seen since. (Or maybe just...forgotten?)

A dragon up top that died shortly after breathing fire once. The fire spread up top killing most wildlife. Some giraffes survived, somehow.

A giant purple fuzzy mosquitoe. I neglected and forgot about it. Rediscovered it looming over my mayor's bed. It kicked him in half.

What do you get when a Rhesus monkey steps on a weapons trap loaded with maximum adamantine blades?

Rhesus Pieces!

Oh, the horror. What a nightmare.

That is beautiful.

You should have called him (The mosquitoe) Fuzzybug McBloodsucker.

A humanoid made of filth, who was thrown against a wall by an adequate axeman. The beast died from it. And so did my whole fort from its poison.
A winged snail made from fire, who was punched to death with extreme prejudice.
A ball of vomit. A poisonous ball of vomit.
Also, not in fort mode, but still, a chocolate clown. Three-eyed chocolate chameleon-clown. He was devoured by a dragon.

Yes, mother ****ing walruses stormed in through my well room, fatally gored my expedition leader, and danced off into the frosty tundra to sing happy walrus songs about oysters.

A large dragonfly that breathed fire.  It's a titan that appeared at my fort once, but I savescummed for an entirely different reason so now it's still out there somewhere...  I'm working on making my fortress airtight so I can capture it.  This titan is more of a dragon than an actual dragon.

While playing Legendary Lands, I once found myself confronted by what I remember as a Dark Shadow.  Either way, the beast was practically formless, quick, and incredibly powerful.  My militia of twelve legendary wrestlers got decimated in five seconds flat.

I barricaded inside the fort and bid my time.  Maybe the beast would leave on its own.  But no.

Somehow it found its way inside a completely sealed fortress, and it was tearing everyone a structurally superfluous new behind!

I drafted absolutely everyone and zergrushed the foul beast, giving way to an immense cat-and-mouse game within the confines of the fort as the pack of dwarves sought to somehow tie the shadow in a knot.  Practically every corridor was streaked with enough blood to make my people think I was filming a new episode of Berzerk.  There were body parts everywhere, precursor to an epic mushroom cloud of miasma.

With 90% of the fort killed and blown to pieces, we finally destroyed the beast, now down to only a handful of dwarves in a bad mood.  My only respite came in the form of a new, massive wave of migrants.

It wasn't even the end of it.  On the heels of the shadow was a lava wyrm, who proceeded to set the entire woodland on fire.  Barricading myself once more, I made preparations: an unholy corridor studded with spikes linked to a lever, all this within a room that could be sealed and then filled with pressurized water.

I lured the beast inside and quickly sealed the door.  The wyrm effortlessly melted my traps on the way, a pile of useless spikes in its wake.  It finally arrived at the center of my beautiful, red trade depot, and casually demolished it into bricks.

I pulled the lever.

Gallon after gallon of water poured out faster than Ron Jeremy could ejaculate inside a movie star.  I absolutely drenched the creature, intending on putting it out - but no no no, fuck no.  The thing was generating an ungodly amount of steam, and no amount of water could put that thing out.  I had completely immersed it in water and all it did was turn the trade depot area into a biblical-sized pressure cooker.  Unfortunately, I wasn't in the mood to prepare Thai chicken or express shish kebab.

I kept myself locked in, as more megabeasts arrived on the premises.  I drafted nineteen able-bodied dwarves and put them through the longest, most rigorous training regime ever to be seen to man.  They emerged as demigods, so skilled in the ways of the blade and blunt that they could shatter bones with a butter knife and slice legs off with a golf club.

the ensuing battle went down in history.

I got an enormous, shelled nematode that killed a whole squad by ripping their legs off and letting them bleed to death.

Then there was the giant toad who propelled forgotten beast frozen extract in all directions at such speed that it slammed people into walls hard enough to break bones. Luckily the poison itself wasn't dangerous, usually causing only a mild fever and extreme drowsiness.

By the way, I design table top RPGs and other games. You can buy some.

Randomly generated creatures can be made from chocolate?
Sweet.

Sounds like Toady One had a cold...

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

Of course.
Seriously, I mean. I kinda wish there was some way to express tone on the internet.
