I thought I came up with a horrifying vision of the (beyond next version) future when I suggested a Forgotten Beast that had tainted meat, turned into a more grotesque form on full moon and would get extremely powerful if it ever got exposed to sunlight. Toady one-up'd me with his off-hand thought. "Beware its Deadly Dust" will be replaced with "Beware its dust that turns you into a cave blob". Oh crud, demons also use the forgotten beast generator don't they? We might see one of these as a human diplomat...Quote from: Psieyewill the forgotten beast generator be updated for next version to include all the new tags that got created while working on Night Creatures?
There are some handy tags, but I'm not sure we're going to get at a lot of the potential there this time. I suppose they should be turning all your dwarves into gremlins with gremlin breath by now.

Thats whats going through every DF player's head.
You can ask a question on here, and you'll get an answer. It doesn't matter if it's stupid, obvious, or even a straight-to-wiki question. You'll get an answer, or at least a meme. In fact, 90% of threads you'll have Necro run in and scream "MAGMA".
If we get FB's that cause mutations, it's only a matter of time until someone realizes that some of them have possibly useful mutations like extra limbs or whatever.If they're helpful (Magma immunity, superpowers, etc.), they'll be used on dwarves.
And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
People are already getting giant, angry bees as forgotten beats. I think that tops pretty much everything.Beeware its deadly sting!

WHAT ABOUT ELVES?People are already getting giant, angry bees as forgotten beats. I think that tops pretty much everything.But in the future, we can get a giant, angry bee with a sting that makes you explosively allergic to say, steel.
Not so much a theory of new FBs here as me wanting to share getting a gecko FB. Skinless, with deadly dust. My first thought (aside from 'Well, there goes the fort!') was 'Beware it's deadly car insurance!'Or, with the new commercials:
"Dont be silly... Report to the beast chamber for genetic reassignment at once."
Oh. Maybe it's better if DF doesn't allow anyone to genetically engineer bioweapons.
Were-forgotten beasts!
Somehow, I'm okay with that. I'm going to need to grow a huge beard now, though.
The dwarfy way of thinking will dominate your mind anywhere you go, and in anything you do.
^ above poster is a fine specimen on dorfy thinking.Ya think?
I can quite safely say, Necro has had a major impact in making me think dwarfy as well.Indeed.

"Is the elf not required to wear the magma on his head?"
My answer to just about everything is magma. In fact, most threads end up with me running in screaming it :PCalling dibs on this one.
CIRCUS YEAH!My answer to just about everything is magma. In fact, most threads end up with me running in screaming it :PCalling dibs on this one.

sudden desire to learn to mod dwarves with magma beards that breathe fire.

well it won't end well for the elves.
or the goblins.
or the kobolds.
or the humans.
or the natural wildlife.
or potentially the alcohol.
but other than that it should be fine. What could possibly go wrong?

Of course, I must warn you: now that you have become one of us, there is no way back. The dwarfy way of thinking will dominate your mind anywhere you go, and in anything you do.It's true. I now know the name of 99% of metals and their ores. As well as 10% of alloys.
More importantly, can it give my dorfs the ability to turn elves into alcohol?I think this can already be done with some modding. Mod elves to be butcherable, and have some of their parts be tagged as plants. Then mod those "plants" to be brewable.
We now need to make the dwarfiest superhero ever using this. Adamantine skin, magma blood, A beard of adamantine strands, four arms, the ability to explode elves with its mind and the ability to mine four tiles at once.

Hopefully not. Seeing physics apply to a monster made of fire is the funniest thing since cat nuking. But I wonder, will we eventually see FB types only appear in certain environments? Because the current RNG seems to have a penchant for generating hilariously environment-inappropriate creatures.
