So it appeared and it seems to have almost every bone broken or dented and everything seemingly has scars? What the hell happened?! Only thing I can think is there was a forgotten beast in the same cavern that was made of flames, but flames don't break bones o.o

idk proboly was another FB or it fought some of the local wildlife before it appered on the visble map.
eather way it should be easy to kill now.

Probably happened during world gen.  I read that megabeasts can be injured during world gen but can only be killed by other megabeasts.  Once they spawn on your map then the injuries take effect.

It probably got roughed up by some dwarves and such in world gen, but was never killed by any other megabeast.

I can understand a FB showing up with scars, since the game actually creates the FBs during worldgen and creates a history of them getting into various fights, so having scars from hundreds of years of combat makes sense. But I'm surprised that it would still have fresh wounds when it shows up. You might want to check in Legends mode and see when the last time this particular FB fought something before your fort was founded. Maybe it had just fought something and hadn't had time to heal up.

It happened more in older versions, where the special creatures couldn't be killed, or something, but would fight.  You'd have 2 titans in worldgen fight to the death, but not die because the injuries didn't count.  Then they'd step onto a fortress map and suddenly collapse in a shower of blood.

This has been all-but solved in newer versions, I've never seen an injured creature arrive on the map.  But then, FB will fight animal-people in the caverns, and that's perfectly legit.

Non-megabeasts can kill megabeasts during worldgen.

I looked againa nd the beast isn't in the same cavern as the other one - so it can't have fought that one! I think the wounds are all old to be honest.

everything has scars on, there's no bleeding or anything like that, but there are a lot of dented/fractured as well as a few broken bones, so it looks like all the surface stuff has healed.

I didn't know they could show up like this though, learn something new everyday

Also I had another F'Beast show up that had secretions and it just sat in a bit of water festering (so its secretions are all over that little bit), i managed to kill it with marksdwarves from above, but will that stuff ever go away? I would have tried DFclean, but my anti-virus wouldn't let me keep it, everytime i told it to leave it it deleted it wah

I had two show up like that, and then the third showed up unhurt with my "Deceased list showing an entire tribe of Snakepeople =D

[Kattel]

ive just embarked on a new volcano site that has a night creature lair...the critter is already messed up, everything except its upper body is yellow, its head is brown and there's some reds thrown in there. however its z-screen shows no actually injuries...wierd.

[Dwarf_Fever]

Result of falling damage or perhaps nearby cave-in fall-out upon map creation?

[Girlinhat]

Old wounds heal and don't show as injuries anymore.  Check the description for scars, if any.

Never tried it, but perhaps you could drop a wall of natural rock into the tainted areas. The water will teleport up until it finds an empty tile to reappear in, but I think the contaminant will stay where it is.

What AV are you using?

[megahelmet]

I had a Titan show up missing an eye, but it had three other eyes...so it seemed ok.

I'm using kaspersky - it seems to have deleted them out of existence, which is SO totally cool. I had a bit of a look on google but i couldn't really find anything useful, probs wasn't searching for the right thing though
