Zombie whales?
Try packs of Skeletal Carp.
I know that, they are evil.

But do you know how fucking huge whales are?!

Cave ins and traps are a MUST against whales!

Giant Cave Spiders are still big, carp are still pretty deadly (Dodging is Fun!), and I'll have to say zombie whales.



I've never embarked on an evil biome (Might do it soon though), but whales are gargantuan beasts. Imagine that 200 ton thing running at you.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

From what I remember about Townbrush, a fort plagued by undead ocean monsters, whale zombies aren't actually that bad because they are so damn slow. Civilians can out run them and trained soldiers can kill them fairly quickly. However when they do manage to catch a stupid, slow dwarf, that dwarf tends to be crushed to death almost instantly. So you only need to worry about zombie whales if they end up camping inside your dining hall, waiting for ignorant dwarves to walk through the door.

OT: Bronze Colossus still pretty much obliterates everything, so they're the most obvious choice. As for the more mundane animals, alligators and their ilk are quit vicious and can easily kill a dwarf. Voracious cave crawlers tear through civilians like warm butter. Giant cave spiders get a guarnteed kill on everything they inject vemon into. So many animals, so many ways for them to kill you with ease. Pick your poison.

How come the whales can easily fit themselves into the tiny corridors the dwarves make for themselves?  :P

Ninja whales? I would have thought pirates, what with the nautical sea connection.

I figured the guy was a goner too when a noseless bat from hell flew right over the fortifications and attacked.

Without a doubt, horses and camels are the deadliest mundane animals. They combine the power of an elephant with deadly hooves, lightning speed, and a lust for murder.          I had a skeletal camel assassinate 8 dwarves.

Horses.



By the way, I now have a urge to mod some creature based on a badger, but horse-sized and with hooves.

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

Don't forget the Rhesus monkey! Always deadly :P

Cats can also be just as bad.

For the same reason a bronze colossus can be held within a small wooden cage.

Without a doubt, horses and camels are the deadliest mundane animals. They combine the power of an elephant with deadly hooves, lightning speed, and a lust for murder. I had a skeletal camel assassinate 8 dwarves.

Oh yes, horses and their relatvies are quite deadly. I tried embarking on a horrifying desert once. 6 of the dwarves were killed in the first month by a marauding horde of skeletal camels. In Townbrush, one of the militia commanders died in a single hit when the insane merchant's camel kicked him in the head.

My migrants like to wander through packs of giant badgers on they way to my fort. They tear civilian dwarves apart with incredible ease.

Is it just me, or is kicking overpowered?
