Dwarves will have 'detests elves' in description sometimes, but since elves aren't vermin they can't really accost and cause uhappy thought.

"Urist McNoble absolutely detests elves"

On the wall is an image of Urist McNoble and elves. Urist McNoble is surrounded by the elves.

This is the masterfully carved image of a cat and an elf. The cat is carrying the elf around. The elf is flaping his arms helplessly. This image relates the slaying of Hispter McTrader by Urist McCat.

Since when were cats named Urist?

Urist is the universal name for everything dwarven. He's also named McCat.

...with the obvious exclusion of small, sharp and pointy weapons with unparalelled armour-piercing ability that is. :P

Add vermin tag to elves.

If a rat has a tag making it vermin, then u could take it off and make them nonvermin... So elves canbecome vermin.

Tired. Sorry if im looping.

Won't elves become periodically invisible at times if you make them into vermin?

I think this is suitable, seeing as how they have cost me many injuries with their toothpick arrows. You so much as step outside and it's like that pigmy mummy scene from the Mummy Returns. Very scary.

Wouldn't making Elfs actual vermin make them unkillable in legends mode?

Actually, I think it would make all of the elves get killed by legendary cats.

Hillarity would ensue in worldgen, as elves get spontaneously attacked by verminators, only to run facefirst into their ethical constraints.

You know.. the ones that prevent attacking animals? (I think self defense is permitted... so remoe that ethic tag for ultimate hilarity)

Properly done, it could create a loyalty cascade in elven civs when verminators arrive.

Wow, flashing dots of vermin Elfs rushing cats.

(What I envision)

Elf caravan comes in, loaded with wood and dirty hippy tie-dyed cloth....

They arrive at the depot....

The doors of the fortress open.... out comes... THE KITTENS!

Elves run around in impotent terror as the 200 cats from the catsplosion mercilessly slaughter the caravan.
