Capitalism: You milk the two cows. You sell the milk. You sell one, get a loan and buy a bull. Then you sell calves and grow your herd.

Out of the darkness came a colossal winged worm with a gaping maw. As one, the dwarves declared, 'Why, it's like those things from 'Tremors' except with wings!', which caused confusion amongst all who heard as neither televisions or Kevin Bacon existed in this world. The worm was huge, and surrounded by layer upon layer of hardened skin and fat. Unfortunately, it was too heavy for its pitiful wings to carry it aloft, and being so fat the worm was exceedingly slow. A squad of ten axedwarves surrounded the beast, and spend two months hacking into its fat and being covered by its extracts.
Finally, the beast died, and there was much rejoicing. The heavily armoured axedwarves tramped back up to the levels closer the surface, smearing the extract all over the walls and floor. They paid it no mind; it hadn't burned through their armour so none had actually touched the icky stuff.
Unfortunately, even the slightest touch on bare skin caused the victim to erupt in a fever and to vomit copiously. Luckily, all the dwarves had shoes, so weren't affected. However, every single cat in the fortress decided to wander through the patches of stick extract. As a consequence, the walkways of the fortress quickly became littered with unconscious vomiting cats, who somehow kept breeding regardless.
Will whack a screenshot up later when I get home.
I had some sort of enormous humanoid with tentacles all over its face and bat wings who's breath caused dwarves eyes to rot out almost instantly.
Yep, I had Cthulu in my basement
Him not titan. Him ettin. Him a semi-megabeast.
