A forgotten beast grabs a grizzly bear by a tooth and throws it against a wall, causing it to explode.

Saved this picture a while ago; don't remember what happened to the cat.

[FrisianDude]

Did the merchant survive?

'course not, his brain was bruised. That's death.

[Masta Crouton]

i've always been a fan of goblins falling, and blowing apart when they strike bottom.

[Gizogin]

The crossbowdwarf bites the goblin master thief in the left ear, tearing the cartilage!
The crossbowdwarf latches on firmly!
The crossbowdwarf shakes the goblin master thief around by the left ear, and the severed part flies off in an arc!
The left ear comes off and remains in the crossbowdwarf's grip.

(That's roughly how it went.  I'm not exact on the details.  The important thing is that my crossbowdwarf bit off a goblin's ear)

[Dr. Hieronymous Alloy]

So, you've got a Legendary+5 axe, fighter, dodger, and shield dwarf.  He's slain hundreds of enemies and even his bloodsoaked ☼Steel High Boot☼ has a name.  The average siege gives him 200 pages of combat reports and two dozen dead enemies.

Somewhere among the endless combat logs, you notice something spectacular.

The militia commander hacks The White Tigerman Axeman in the lower body with his ({steel battle axe}) and the severed part sails off in an arc!

The militia commander hacks The Frog Man Swordsman in the upper body with his (steel battle axe), tearing apart the muscle and tearing apart the heart!
A major artery in the heart has been opened by the attack!
The (steel battle axe) has lodged firmly in the wound!

Show me what you've got.

I don't have the log any more, but the most impressive I've seen was one where I sent some half-trained wrestlers out and then saw one of them cutting at goblins with a <silver sword>.

Reading back through the logs, he'd wrestled a sword away from a goblin and then started fighting with it.

[narhiril]

One of my old favorites.  Sick imagery.

Saved this from one of my first fortress

The alligator attacks the fish dissector but he jumps away!
The alligator bites the fish dissector in the lower body but the attack is deflected by the FD (giant cave spider silk tunic)!
The alligator bites the fish dissector in the right foot but the attack is deflected by the FD (giant cave spider silk sock)!
The alligator bites the fish dissector in the upper body but the attack is deflected by the FD (giant cave spider silk tunic)!
The alligator leaps at the FD!
The alligator bites the fish dissector in the right lower arm but the attack glances away!
The alligator collides with the FD!
The fish dissector is knocked over!
The alligator bites the fish dissector in the upper body but the attack is deflected by the FD (giant cave spider silk tunic)!
The alligator bites the fish dissector in the head denting the skin!
The alligator latches on firmly!
The alligator shakes the FD around by the head!
The head is ripped away and remains in the alligators grip!
The fish dissector has been struck down.

That was some badass tunic!

Cannot figure out how to upload an image sorry... help anyone?

I posted this in a different thread a while back, but my first Cyclops battle was very enjoyable.  I was (am) still very new and was very intimidated.  So I gathered my little military and threw them at the One Eye.

He started out pretty well.  He crushed the arm of one fighter and picked him up by the 4th toe of his left foot and swung him around.

Then my hammerdwarf walked up behind him and smacked him in the head, knocking the Cyclops out.   What followed was 24+ pages of my military banging away, mostly on his head, often shattering the skull.  Finally the One Eye wakes up, then dies.

I was happy.

Probably the most insane thing I ever saw was from a goblin lasher ambush party. One unable to get out the way he came in(not quite sure why), so when a condor titan showed up and killed all but two goblins, one ran off and one just sat on the edge of the map.

After a while, a Bronze Colossus showed up. It and the goblin pathed towards eachother. To start the action, the goblin lashed the colossus in the leg, destroying it. The colossus fell over. Then the started having at it.

Over six hundred log pages later, the had goblin received a single bruise and had chipped the colossus thousands of times. A siege showed up then(about 50 goblins, 30 mounts, and 12 trolls), and all of them but 10 died to said colossus. The lasher just took the opportunity to walk off, still uninjured.

I got this one from a multiplayer fortresses by Carnes.
It's not a particularly heroic fight but the way that dwarf handled it I found quite memorable.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I picture it as the dwarf charging towards the two macaques, and simeltaniously punching them in the head, each with an arm, so hard to knock them out in one blow.
Accuracy and power right there.

The Axedwarf kicks the Forgotten Beast in the head with his left foot and the severed part sails off in an arc!

I found this kung-fu move quite impressive until I remembered that the forgotten beast was a humanoid made of ash and was already on the ground following an adamantine axe hack on the foot.

[Musashi]

The best one I have had must have been is something like this

The recruit strikes the Goblin Axeman in the right hand with his right hand bruising and crushing the bone through {(Leather Gloves)}!

That suspiciously looks like some kind of violent brofist. Gone very, very right.

[MadocComadrin]

Here's one I got while looking over some sparring reports:

"The recruit struggles in vain against the grip of the Recruit's left upper arm  on the recruits fifth-toe, left foot."

I call it the "Dwarven Pinkie-Toe Submission Position!"

[nitehawk]

One of my dwarves just single-handedly stopped a forgotten beast's onslaught in my fortress. What weapons did he use? Bare hands and a steel shield. From this day on, he shall be known as 'Captain America'.

[Oliolli]

Did the merchant survive?

'course not, his brain was bruised. That's death.

Ah yes, sorry. I was thinking about denting the brain. That isn't insta-kill.
