Slave traders occasionally bring feral ghouls for trade. I haven't decided if this is a bug or feature yet.

You guys want badass animals? I'll second that Rutherers are a great choice; if you keep enough of them in a hallway, you can actually repel goblins. That said, Giant Olms can and will one-shot a fully armored goblin, especially if they're already stunned or injured. If you wanted to wash your invaders into a pit, make it a pit of olms.

I have a fort in the middle of its third year.  There are some 40 deaths, and about half have been to berserking badgers.  Half of those badger deaths were poorly trained military dwarves who got torn to shreds.  Good times...

Edit: I just saw that Honey Badger link.  I'm gonna go looking for it.  I wonder how it compares to Giant Badgers.  If there isn't anything in the raws to make a Giant Honey Badger, I'm going to add it.
Because your fort clearly needs tougher badgers.

More dwarven death!

Giant Olms and Giant Crocodiles are great trap creatures, but Rutherers are grazers and much, much bigger, which means they're also a good source of food. I had several female Rutherers in Spore Tree cage traps. The "skinny overall" one weighted 3000 lbs and the "muscular and gigantic overall" one weight 6000 lbs. They're like big-ass cave cows that fight back. Not only that, but they won't attack your dwarves when you manuver in to place traps to catch them.

Now THAT would be a fortress ender.  Whaddabout Demon Honey Badger?  That'd be cool...

You just have to bring a dwarf with military skill and a weapon for them on embark, and then badgers stop being a problem.

A miner is enough but a fare amount of points in mining and a decent pick and he will kill anything FBs included
