I have just found what might be the most awesome Serpent man ever, and likely a reincarnation of Âsax, the most awesome cave swallow man ever.
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=52295.0His name is Osmusturog, which apparently means machinecackled, and to date he's killed ever single forgotten beast that's showed up in my fortress with a tower-cap spear, oftentimes all by himself. Interestingly, he's listed as friendly rather than hostile like the rest of his kind, just like Âsax, and while he hasn't been obsessively renaming his spear he's pretty much unharmed despite having spent several months at a time in combat with FBs. Like, I mean, literally in perfect shape, all body parts white. He was briefly a blisterball after getting doused in a vomit blob's toxic gas, but he healed from that about a day after slaying the beast.
Hell, I just found ANOTHER friendly serpent person, this time a female, also a spear user. Maybe it has something to do with the gobbos I dumped down there (long story, involves many, many levers) who were mercilessly slaughtered by her "tribe"?
oh btw, I just found a troll and a giant toad floating in mid air for some reason. This fortress is weird.
