A dude made of water comes from the water-filled deep, causing a couple dwarves to dodge into the depths and drown.
i love the letter d

[davros]

My newest one. Up till now, all forgotten beasts I got just made dwarves drowsy or something. This one gave them kitten rot. Fortunately, it only gets in through wounds, so half of my 100 dorf army is in one piece.

Green glass humanoid with deadly dust. Sound familiar? Killed himself with his dust while attacking an ewe or something and sent glass flying EVERYWHERE. I have not seen parts go flying half way across a 6x6 map before.

Sounds like a fantasy fragmentation grenade.

I got a disappointingly dull feathered armadillo. It just kind of sat there in the caverns, never noticing my dwarves. And my dwarves somehow never noticed the GIANT ARMADILLO COVERED IN FEATHERS.

I was deeply disappointed. I'm designing my next fort for FB killing. A passageway down covered by a bridge (can't destroy those from below, can you, fucking feathered wtfbeast that looks more comedic than fearsome?), with traps and 1-tile-high passageways filled with pressure plates for magma traps. And an alternate route down so my dwarves are less likely to admire the !!graphite pressure plate!!

[Sarda]

You know megabeasts have trapavoid, right?

[Ipwnurmom221]

...

Do they have fireavoid?

[Sarda]

Depends on the material. Some metal FBs are almost invincible.

[Ipwnurmom221]

Well maybe the traps will kill a crundle or something.

Preferrably giant feathered crundle with exploding-eye-vapor and very bad reflexes.

Dwarves: Let's sit near the river and do nothing!

FB: BLAAERR! I'M THE WATER MAN!

Dwarves: *gasp!* Let's jump into the water! He can't hurt us there! *blublbublub*

FB: Hehee... Works every time.

Sintini.  A sterling silver quadruped with poison gas attacks, he just rolled over my entire 20-strong, blue-clad military.  I had raised the drawbridges, making my fort isolated, so I kept walled up in there for years while training a new military.  During that time, Sintini dispatched every trade caravan, ambush, and siege.  Here he is after killing a few squads of goblins:

Eventually he was pinpricked with dozens of bolts and arrows, scrambling around on four stumpy limbs (all four feet had been chopped off), but still killing everybody he met.  My new military eventually managed to bring him down, but only with some savescumming.

Ever since then I've built some sort of remotely-operated airlock system on the caverns, and only open it when I need to go down there.

In one of my first forts while i was paranoid about caves i trapped iron humanoid with poisonous gas and 2 other forgotten beasts (between bridges in channeled hole). Fleshy beasts were happily rotting from gas for years until i had magma flooding accident. It burned bridges bounding  forgotten beasts, fleshy ones burned and iron thing just stayed in channeled hole in magma not trying to get out.

Steaming blob came knocking at the beginning of Summer, he encountered my grizzly guarding the door to my fortress (behind which I was assembling my 30 dwarf army) I thought the grizzly was a goner however it easily dodged about 10 blows before the military stormed in and beat the blob into... nothing. Mostly insane in how anti climactic it was, although I am guessing I might get a surprise a few months down the road.

I once had an FB fly over my walls in the cavern layers, and made it all the way up to about the 3rd - 5th level of the fort when 20 legendary dwarves rushed it and brutally stabbed it to death, filling the entire hallway with gore.

Of course I managed to neglect the fact that it had DEADLY DUST and half my population immediately bit the dust... Pun intended.

All but 2 of my legends died from the rotting disease that followed.

I have one of these monstrosities wandering the 2nd cave, I decided the best thing to do would be to send in feline explorers for that level and see how dangerous the noxious fumes are.

My ultimate set-up for F.B. removal is a five chamber gauntlet, each containing a door, and two armor stands placed so the beastie stays still near the middle of the room.  The ceiling above each room is wired to collapse.  Below each chamber is an empty room, unconnected to the rest of the map (constructions help) and sealed, just in case you don't land the cave-in shot. If the cave-in fails, suction drags F.B. into the pit, where you can try another cave-in (if the trip down didn't kill them first). Gauntlet seals with a bridge, just in case you run out of cave-ins but not F.Bs

Totally scrap the whole thing if you catch a giant cave spider though
