Today i caged several exotic animals, including numerous from a Goblin siege (multiple Cave Crocodiles, Cave Crawlers and Rutherers) and additionaly a Hydra and a Dragon. So i thought it's time to edit the raws, due to the bug that doesn't allow a Dungeon Master to be assigned. Set all EXOTIC_PET to PET and restarted the game. Fortunatly this worked and was able to choose all this creatures as taming-targets at the kennels, and tamed them all.
In order to free a couple of cages i decided to assign some Cave Crocodiles and Cave Crawlers to a pen right under the mass-pit, to welcome another couple of caged Goblins and Troglodytes. Unfortunately they didn't welcome the Goblins and Troglodytes but my dwarfs that released them, leading to several dead dwarf before my military arrived.
I had to try it again with other exotic animals, this time more carefully, with the military ready. The Crocodiles kept attacking, as well as the Cave Crawlers (didn't test with the Rutherers yet). But worse, also the Hydra attacked after its release and i don't want to find out if the Dragon will attack too (he left a permanent impression at his arrival, making kitten-roast from quite a distance).
Are there any known reasons why this beasts attack, even after they have been tamed? Respectively any ways to avoid it? The only tameable animals it worked fine with, are the also exotic and otherwise aggressive elk-birds.
Thanks for any advice.
