Birds, typically, scare/anger them to climb on top of trees. Pretty common on any embark.
Do not let your guard down yet. Just because you haven't seen any evil region effects yet doesn't necessarily mean there aren't any. Give it time and you may find there is evil weather that just hasn't showed up yet. How long have you been kicking back in this seemingly friendly evil biome? I assume you have tested to see if it is a reanimating zone?
Terrifying biomes in particular, generally tend to have some sort of evil regional effect although it is possible you just got lucky/unlucky. It certainly is possible to get an evil biome, even a savage one, that lacks any kind of evil juju outside of evil creatures and plants spawning there. I've also seen it take quite a while before the evil weather showed up.

Muy buena suerte con el proyecto. Desde que empecé a jugar a Dwarf Fortress he intentado convencer a varios amigos para jugar, pero aquí en España el inglés no cala mucho, así que esto es simplemente un regalo del cielo
Hmmm interesting, it probably picks the first megabeast being parsed from the raws as first to spawn.
One could mod in a new megabeast, have it load before the dragon, and call it 'First Being' or something. That or call it 'Destroyer of Socks' so that the legends make sense.
It is not a bug so much as it is a test of character.
Maintain the purity of your fort by killing the gobo scum, or let him in and flush society down the toilet?
Yeah, that happens when the destroyer is null - it takes that as an argument for historical figure who destroyed it and marks it to it.
They're probably goblins from a human civ. Did you look carefully through the entire history of the world? People emigrate, towns are taken over, towns are retaken, pits are settled by elf invaders, refugee goblins flee from forgotten beasts to abandoned caves only to be invaded 200 years later by humans. They integrate, they go to visit the local dwarf fortress.
There's a huge amount of population movement in Dwarf Fortress. Almost every civ has citizens of other races living in it. Some goblins rise to become lords, barons and royalty. Others become master cheese makers.
Just look up the goblin in question, you have his name, so you can find out anything you like about him. Where's he from? Who are his parents, what's his occupation ? It's all right there in Legends to check (easier with Legends Viewer util).
The only time a genuinely evil goblin from an genuinely evil goblin civ will visit you is as part of a performance troupe. Because...art diplomacy...or something...
The only way I know of is to retire and go into the legends mode.
Sometimes one civilization will take over the city of another civilization. If the humans take over a goblin city, then the goblins there will all become friendly citizens of that human civilization.
