which would also make defending your fortress from megabeasts /clown horribly easy. watch as the 3x3 dragon/clown tries unsuccessfully to squeeze into you 1 tile wide tunnels!

Yeah.  Thus why I didn't make a trap.  In it's current state the fortress didn't need a trap, the whole damn fortress is a trap.

I imagine clowns would come in a variety of sizes for expressly the purpose of better fortress infiltration.

But yeah, it makes sense you should be able to evade dragon attacks by having only narrow paths into your fortress. That said, your average fortress (should) need 3 wide passages for the caravan, and should really need that much space for the busier paths in your fortress. Then you'd get the FUN of watching the dragon rampage down the main halls while your dwarves scurry down side paths, dodging dragonfire and hiding in their rooms while the dragon goes on to move into the dining hall, eat all your roasts and steal your stuff.

Just imagine, that colossal beast the size of a city will be able to fit in the same space where you keep your cats.

Chop that thing up and see what meat you can salvage. I can imagine you'll be fed for a lifetime.

The problem is that it's in a very, very fun place ;>_>

Ugh, just got clobbered by an unexpected ambush.

However, for some reason after a while there was a second one in the unit list (exact copy of the first one), but that one had a list with all it's body parts in red.

I'm bringing more sabertooth tigers next time :)

Don't panic about it - you'll have to be very, very prepared (or foolish) to even get a glimpse of one without dfreveal.  These creatures are a final challenge to a fortress that has overcome all other challenges, and will not simply show up at random times in random places.

It's made of brass or such, I'm pretty sure.
Just its skin is brass. Everything else should be good to eat.
That's a colossal can of meat then.

Then what about the much rarer P demon?

It follows the same rules, but is "challenging" in a slightly different way.
