The eye biting Glazer is getting a a legendary bedroom but I'm still down an elf.
Is there a reliable way of getting them chained up?

It was an ex merchant if that makes a difference, they always seem to go berserk before I get an opportunity to get a breeding program underway, will this happen if they are captured during a siege? 

[Urist Da Vinci]

Put the elf's cage right next to the built chain before you assign the elf to the chain. This way, the hauling distance is shorter. You can even dump the unbuilt cage of the elf on top on the built chain.

Other, untested factors that may apply could be:
- the agility of the dwarf handler
- the strength of the dwarf handler

Sounds like !!SCIENCE!!

Wait your breeding the tree huggers? :O hearsay! All Elf's must die by cleansing magma!!!

How else do you test that your trap system works?

Test? Pffft.

That kind of thinking is probably what led to me flooding my farms without actually finishing the drain...

No, I think you got that backwards.

He'll be doing it to torture their children (I hope)

I suppose thats fine but all children must be used for very painful !!SCIENCE!!! mostly involving magma and GCS and other painful things

[Organum]

:| Well, they weren't supposed to actually flood. It should have been a moistening.

[elf-fondling human]

The important thing to remember here is that all of this is for !!science!!

Quick! Dump their children into the caverns! Show those heretics the side of nature that they choose to ignore, drive the viscious and purile contempt for all nature into their very souls. After the first of their comrades fall to the blind cave trolls, then lets see if their tree hugging will save them. Then, when their on their knees begging to return to the surface drop an axe through the whole they came in through. No words, no contact, nothing. Just the axe, soon they will become everything they hate, turning full circle and realizing that we, the dwarfs are the right and the order in this harsh and cruel world.

[elf-fondling human]

But Elves are at peace with nature, nothing attacks them...

[jamesadelong]

Then I retract my previous statement. Luckily plan B is always magma.

Berserk creatures attack everything nearby, so it's not really feasible to chain them up. If you capture an Elf (or Human or Goblin) soldier from an ambush/siege, this will not happen (though it will happen for captured thieves, since those are "Hostile" rather than "Invader").
