My one fort got a breeding pair of giant scorpions from the elves. 

My current fort is collecting cats (jaguar, leopard, lion, tiger, cheetah) in both normal and giant forms.  Only breeding pair is giant cheetah and we currently have five adults and five cubs about the fort.

Wait... I swear you can't breed giant scorpions? o-o

Also, I see Giant Desert Scorpions, but Y NO DESERT SCORPION SWARMS?

[Oaktree]

My RAWs are modded to allow Giant Desert Scorpions to breed.   

I also ran some tests pitting a few scorpions against annoyance wildlife (badgers).  Got one of my scorpions beat up a bit, but that venom is nasty if they get a sting in.  My guess is that like war dogs they're a distraction against enemies in small numbers but a swarm would be a much larger inconvenience to them.  A "scorpion bomb" in the outer keep while marksdwarves rained bolts from the walls would probably wreck a goblin siege in quick order.  Then again, a nicely placed archery bunker might do that without the scorpions - but would obviously be less fun.

I modded antmen to breed...

Also, why have a marksdwarves bunker, HAVE A BALLISTAE FORTRESS

Better make a easy to apply syndrome that makes siege operators blind then XD

Technically that would be easy to achieve, pretty much any Titan syndrome  causes blindness (if it's external).
Results may vary.
I already have 7 blind dwarves £:

I've got 4 war elephants in my fortress, courtesy of the Elves. the moment they stop pleasing me with giants, though, THEY WILL DIE!

Everything deserves a change. But just one wrong move...

Wait, is it possible to have GIANT elephants...? Just asking, it seems to fit here.

[Wannazzaki]

My elves keep bringing tame Niths with professions.

[Girlinhat]

There are no giant elephants, but you can easily apply the giant creature variant and make them giant.

So...why not go one better. Giant elephants? Or apply the giant to semi mega/mega beasts? What is this? THE GIANT MINOTAUR HAS ARRIVED? The giant giant? How does the giant variant work? Applies a multiplier to the creature? OOOOH! Giant clowns!

[Girlinhat]

Basically yes.  It multiplies the creature by a certain percentage, and I think it's also set to modify the grazer tag.  This is why giant penguins are still pretty damn small.

[Madventurer]

Oh, what things this allows to do...

[Kromgar]

Giant elves... they put up more of a fight but you know how fun it is to kill an elf!
