I want to sponsor a special monster. One that holds a special place in my heart.

The Cookie Monster.

It'd be worth it just for the description! I'm thinking "A medium sized creature fond of cookies and other things beginning with the letter c. Beware its deadly om nom nom" ... plus, of course, the introduction of a cookie/bakery industry as a side effect!

I realise of course that it's probably a pipe dream, given copyright issues and so forth. Perhaps an allegorical version like the Dwarf Bread Fiend ...


What creature/animal/monster would you sponsor (assuming it would be allowed)?

[Yoink]

Koalas, man. Them Koalas. Badgers ain't got nothin' on them! Imagine, with the right environmental conditions, entire forts could fall to onslaughts of koalas... Ohh hell yes, that'd make me squeal with delight.

[Gamerlord]

Tasmanian Devils and Wolverines. They'd basically be uber-badgers.

I could totally get behind battle koalas  As an Australian myself, the perversity of it makes me giggle

Cartoon/comic versions, or real ones? Because wolverines with blades sliding out of their forepaws would be so dorfy. Also, the battle reports for taz devils would be hilarious

Real ones of course. That gave me an idea: We've already got fire imps, why not sentient tornados? Those would be REALLY Fun.

OH! We GOTTA have cassowaries. Anything for more Fun, right?

Cartoon, both wolverines and Tazmainian Devils.

Would the giant koala be a "drop bear"?

Just when you thought it was safe to harvest wood.

[Yoink]

And with multi z-level trees... Yikes. And then, were-koalas. Oh, I'm not sure if this is true, (they're an endangered species so we can't really test it IRL) but I read in a book once that koalas are rather flammable, thanks to their diet of eucalypt leaves...

As a fantasy world, Dwarf Fortress is terribly lacking in Dinosaurs.

I would sponsor the Utahraptor. Heck, rename it the Uristraptor.

You'd just need to add a new tree with a random chance of spawning a koala upon being chopped down. Nothing beats more danger for the only dwarf that actually goes outside.

Appropriate, what with 'Urist' meaning 'Dagger'.

I would add Jumping Spiders, particularly Giant ones, 'GJS's; outdoors instead of caves, no webs but lurks in ambush (like a goblin ambush squad), jumps to attack with a venomous bite.

Wall climbing ability crossed my mind as well, but that might be too much !!fun!! (particularly combined with ambush stealth)

No, drop bear should be a separate-but-related species with extra sharp fangs, claws, and toughened posteriors. I would await with glee my first Giant Drop bear Zombie Arse.

Only if Toady adds the ability to prepare cassowary casseroles
