STEALTH WEREMAMMOTHS
Holy carp this almost beats skeletel boatmurderphants.
Get it to bite your dwarves. Make them hunters to gain ambushing. Die horribly when full moon comes.
STEALTH WEREMAMMOTHS
this game never stops entertaining me
Maybe it has color-changing fur ?
Mwahahahahah, dwarves failed their spot checks.
So, can you cage-trap were creatures? Because I've never had to deal with this level of lycanthropic fun before.
Now you know why Snuffleuffagus is skulking around in that back alley...Has anyone TRULY figured out WHERE he lives on sesame street?Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Maybe he reverts into a homeless guy, and nobody is the wiser! (this IS new york we are talking about!)
His appearances on the show are few and far between as well-- Almost like it was on every full moon....
Oops Didn't mean to post here.
According to the wiki werebeasts in their beast form are trapvoid creatures, but I don't know if this was verified for .40.I have a goblin werehedgehog who came to my fortress recently. She appeared from stealth at the top of my main stairshaft in werehedgehog form (I did not have traps set up at that point) and sat around there for a while, then turned into a friendly goblin (with tear stained eyes) and wandered around inside my fort for at least a month. Fortunately for the dwarves she only transforming one other time while in a remote part of the tunnels. The war dogs tried to attack her when she first came through the entrance as a freindly goblin (with both her and the dogs continually fleeing in terror), but my conscripted military would not attack. Eventually I mostly walled off the section she was in with a cage trap at the opening, which caught her while still in friendly goblin form.

There could be more, right now, anywhere and everywhere, stomping silently about and swinging enormous mammoth-sized warhammers with deadly quiet.
This is why you don't text and walk, kids. You fail your rolls for noticing weremammoths right in front of you.
I'm not sure what I find more fascinating: that the weremammoth tried to bite a baby in half, or that it failed.This is why you don't text and walk, kids. You fail your rolls for noticing weremammoths right in front of you.Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There mammoth! There castle!Of course that's genius when they transform they will get much heavier
In all seriousness, I believe the only particularly dwarfy use for a werecreature which isn't a civ member is to pit it onto a pressure plate and use it to operate machinery once a month. A decontamination procedure for the well, maybe.
Am I the only one who wants eel warhammers now?...Yes? What would an eel warhammer look like?
STEALLLTH!!!....WEREMAMMOOOOOTHS?!?!

Urist McKid: "Mommy... Can you look for monsters in the cabinet?"
Urist McMom: "Don't worry, sweety. There aren't monsters in our fortress! Well, maybe there are weremammoths, but they're stealth and we couldn't protect you from them anyway. Now, have good dreams!"
The Weremammoth silently bashes The Macedwarf in the left upper leg from behind with its ({steel war hammer}), jamming the bone through the hip's muscle and fracturing the left hip's bone!Urist McKid: "Mommy... Can you look for monsters in the cabinet?"
Urist McMom: "Don't worry, sweety. There aren't monsters in our fortress! Well, maybe there are weremammoths, but they're stealth and we couldn't protect you from them anyway. Now, have good dreams!"
Next thing Urist McKid knows, his face will meet a nice, silver war hammer from the Weremammoth.
Huh, if you can have stealth Weremammoths, what's to say you can't have stealth Were-anything?
Ah I seeOf course that's genius when they transform they will get much heavier
Actually, no... when they transform to beast-shape, they gain the "trap immune" ability, so they stop activating the pressure plate. When they go back to humanoid-shape, they regain the ability to activate a pressure plate.

Ah I see
This could be used as a method to keep were-aquatics alive in a holding area. You could tie the pressure plate to a method of flooding the chamber only when he transforms. I want a wereshark, you see.They're not immune to air drowning?

No Idea. I haven't met one yet. They probably are. I wonder if they're immune to regular water drowning, now that I think about it.
So.. The weremommoths are the newest king of beasts now? o.o

Update on the specific Weremammoth in question: An accident in its containment led to the deaths of 46 dwarves. It was recaptured at the gates. I am quite sure that it is now a very skilled Weremammoth in terms of combat, and has become far, far more dangerous.
I have built a special vault for it deep under the earth. Here it will stay for eternity.

Until the next civilisation to come along digs to deep and to greedily also this is a great example of the starts dwarf fortress throws up

For a weremammoth, the game tells you to fear the night, so when one arrives you know it's lethal.

I've yet to have a werecreature assault my fortress, so there's nothing I can really say about them, apart from them either being really weak or running away back in 0.34.11 (at least, in my experiences).

I love you.
I was home sick from work today, and decided to try making art with my computer for the first time outside of MSpaint. I used to "do art" in high school, but it has been a long time since high school.
Anyway, I thought you guys might be interested in stealth weremammoth art.Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My suggestion is that it should serve as the first representative of your fortress to greet the HFS when the time comes. Just make sure its a full moon that day.

My suggestion is that it should serve as the first representative of your fortress to greet the HFS when the time comes. Just make sure its a full moon that day.
You can ensure this by setting up a containment area for it which will be opened by a pair of drawbridges (one leading to HFS, one to the fort) only after it has transformed and a second lever has also been pulled from inside the fort (so it doesn't escape early) Prepare the link between that sealed area and the mining tunnels first, unleash the HFS with no other way into the fort but to path through the were beast containment area, and then come the full moon the were beast will transform, the pressure plate holding the bridges will drop them, and you may witness glorious battle.

Oh man. I love this. Did Toady just make werebeast more epic? They werent bad before, when they did get the drop on you.When they could SNEAK
Oh no, they would 'spring from ambush' before. Now they are ninjas.Oh man. I love this. Did Toady just make werebeast more epic? They werent bad before, when they did get the drop on you.When they could SNEAK

This is so beautiful. The way the third ninja is eyeing off the mammoth is brilliant.

Third ninja? I thought they were mammoth feet. Now I can't decide how to see it.
