I found this thing on the surface right after I embarked with an N with the ~ thing above it as a creature inside. It is called Mesm Peraditke, Consort of the Shadow Horror


Am I gonna be dead soon? What is it? Is is like a boss monster?

[NecroRebel]

It's a Night Creature Consort, a creature that was kidnapped by a Night Creature, a randomly-generated creature, forced to be the beast's lover and twisted into an unnatural form not unlike the Shadow Horror itself.

Anyway, these things are usually encountered in adventure mode since they don't normally appear in fortresses unless you embark on top of one. It'll be roughly as tough as a semimegabeast, like a minotaur, ettin, or giant. As they're randomly-generated, however, their threat level can vary wildly. Still, a couple of decent soldiers should be able to take it out; if it comes for you, just mob it and you should be mostly alright.

Well it seems to be boxed in by a river, so I should be good. Does it give anything good if I kill it?

I don't think you can eat night creatures... Yeah, checking the raws of my fort's night creatures (with dfworldtinker), I can see that they have CAN_SPEAK, meaning you can't eat them, butcher them, or do much else with their corpses.

Unless you're an elf!

SO all that I can really do is kill it before it tries to kill my dwarves.

hmm...


I'm not going to take your word about it being weak. I know what happened to DragonWork. Never forget those who died there.

LOL.

Its lair should have a door or hatch on the entrance, so forbid it and (IIRC) problem solved.
