No, no, no. Look for the green T; it's description calls it a "giant therapod."

We're therapods! Actually so are most large animals, a therapods basically: get a blob stick four limbs on it, stick some bits on the end of those limbs and hey lets chuck another blob on it and chuck stuff on it like noses and brains. Hell even birds are therapods, there hands are just fused together and snakes who's arms and legs are inside their skin... and snails... hmm lets see how many people will fall for snails  Then again you probably already all knew that

Obviously giant badgers with their paws cut off and teeth knocked out. Leave them wild and laugh if they try to maim your dwarves.

I need someone with a Dwarven Science Degree in localized wounds.

This is a good idea.

[...]so my dwarves built magma pumps out of wood (!) and powered the whole thing with perpetual motion... take that, real world physics! So far, there's no damage and I thinkg it's pretty stable as long as there's no magma on the pumps.

I have no idea, where I went wrong, but after restarting the pump stack to fill the magma reservoir (for magma landmines), the whole thing disintegrated. The pumps deconstructed themselves and the magma that already was at the surface trickled down and right into the perpetual motion generator at -2z, completely destroying it.
Building this thing took a freaking year and now it breaks down with not apparent reason? Oh man, this is neither Fun nor fun... 

At least the military is restored to its former glory and even further. An armorsmith got possessed and made "Bembulmeng" - "The Mechanical Lash", an Adamantine mail shirt with several menacing spikes, but no interesting images. It now protects the captain of "The Armored Uncertainty", my elite squad which will eventually be clad completely in the lovely blue metal.
