Even a kitten can kill steam beasts - consider how low density steam is, then consider how easy it would be to punch through a steambeasts head...

Yeah, FBs and Titans made of things like steam, mud, and water all die to pretty much anything.

Dude, you've created a Yeti with nothing to lose.

You've created Yeti Batman.

Steam cannot wound dwarves, unlike in the 2D versions.

And no. Creatures made of steam do suck at fighting.

Also, you cannot butcher it since it is not made of flesh. It will however drop some solid item named "Aco's steam" that will be completely useless.

Also, not all beasts have syndromes. Yours doesn't, so it has no "Beware its (you're screwed anyway)" line.

Well really the forgotten beast special attacks are mostly not worth bothering about. "Beware it's poisoned bite" it chooses to kick instead, "beware it's deadly vapors" gets blocked easily...

However, when you see "noxious secretions" you will probably get pissed off real soon, and when you see "deadly dust" you are SCREWED.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Forgotten beasts made out of non-living materials are easy to kill, because when DF2010 first came out they, and anything not alive, were unkillable short of a cavein or dumping into magma.  The fix unfortunentally made them too easy to kill and hasn't been balanced properly yet.

Metal or stone titans and the like are still rather badass. Magma and cave-ins are the best defense against those, that hasn't changed.

Antennae aren't reproductive organs, they're sensory organs.  Just so you know.

Send a few kittens or something after that thing and it'll explode into a puff of steam in no time.

You could have berries on the rocks and the dwarves would say it was "berry gneiss."
You should die horribly for this. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

No no no no no, he's saying "Shouldn't he have some deadly syndrome" and used a poisoned cock as an example.
