Just think if a necromancer walks into your butcher's shop just as they're making titan meat....

And yes.

Zombie titans.

Every world will have differently transmitted vampirism. One world might be "drink the blood of a vampire", one might be "be drained by a vampire and live".

This all sounds awesome. :D I'm guessing undead will simply be allied to whoever summons them, or perhaps to the deity that gave the power to summon them?
I'm not sure if you'll be able to control a necromancer dwarf. Or hell, who knows, maybe they'll get their own new workshop!

If one can get necromancers in a fortress, could one start controlling ghosts that appear? Could finally put all those murderous ghosts into use, and would save a fortune on slabs and coffins.

I just had an idea:
Imagine if you could put reanimated bodyparts into weapontraps (or a new kind of trap)
Imagine a adult dragon head.
A greater power than magma, aimed, and triggered automatically.....

My trade depot is set to flood with water at the pull of a lever.  It's deep in the tunnels with easy drainage.  I call it my "water for goods" trading policy.

The man's a genius!! Yes! Pumpstack-powered dragon head pointed down the entrance hallway!! :D
And then a tantrum ends with the lever being pulled just as the caravan arrives...

Why pumpstack powered?
I meant it like weapontraps, and that the dragon spits fire when it is triggered.
I hope Necro forgives me for saying it has a greater power than magma, but afaik, it is true....
Just keep the cats in the out of the fire

Ah, I see. I just had this awesome mental image of a dwarf pumping a bellows to cause the dragon head on the other side of the wall to spew fire. :)
It'd still be great, though!

He knows this AFAIK. He even knows that (believe it or not) sometimes, magma isn't enough. One may need water as a catalyst.

I suppose we could check by causing dwarves to lose their teeth, and see who among them starts starving?  :P

Good luck doing that, short of an over enthusiastic mad hammer dwarf running around with a wooden club.
