Murakgoden has had a forgotten beast. First a bristleworm made from shell, which a legendary axedwarf took down with the aid of his (modded) pet cougar. One game year later, TWO forgotten beasts followed by a swamp titan. :S
The first was a chocolate termite with a trunk that breathed fire. I don't know if it was actually chocolate- but it died extremely quickly. Ebra Kunsangnosm lost a leg to a miller he ambushed. The miller SCRATCHED the leg and the severed part sailed off in an arc. I gave that miller a better room.
The same legendary axedwarf took one shot with his masterwork adamantine axe and his masterwork steel axe and cut it in half. Ebra did not get a single hit in on either dwarf- I think it tried to bite the miller who dodged it.

After that was Gulgun Taragoth, a red snail with rusty patchy feathers. It burps and belches. I had to beware its deadly spittle! This one was very slightly harder. Took two dwarves five seconds to chop it to bits. Forgotten Beast roast, anyone?
Revax (a dorfed friend) took her masterwork spear and sliced a wing off- crippling the beast until it couldn't fly. Then Iteb, the dual-wielding axe lord militia commander came and stole the kill.

Seconds after Gulgun Taragoth was defeated:
The Swamp Titan Ilan Resmipado Dungdarulak has come!  A towering feathered spider.  It has four long, straight horns and it has a regal bearing. Its dark scarlet feathers are downy.  Beware its poisonous bite!

I sent the entire military at it, burrowed the civilians and sealed the fortress's front doors. Murakgoden is more or less self sufficient now. Iteb the glory-seeking military commander got there first, what with his amazing agility. Iteb took one shot, cut off its third leg, rendering it PALE. It then charged at him, knocking him down roughly six times to his one attempt to attack. More or less like this:
Ilan took the longest yet. Pansy elves ran off. Iteb looked like he was going to get injured by a lucky shot from it- but his pet elephant came and diverted attention long enough to let Iteb get up and fight truly. The rest of the military decided now was a good time to sleep.

Revax almost got there though.

It's been an interesting few game years.

Ebra and Gulgun:

MURAKGODEN/Boldropes fell recently, to an odd bug (?) where after a goblin ambush, my army turned on their friends and slaughtered the majority of the population. No tantrums, just ecstatic/content/happy soldiers beating their friends to death with socks. Most of them were about 50% bandage though- danger room training took a while. Anywho, i've just reclaimed Boldropes- it was going really well until the proverbial dung hit the spinning blades.

Now, i've spent an hour setting up stockpiles, assigning beds and watching the Idling counter stay on 0. It's gonna be a long cleanup.

Creaturebolt's good. A hydra showed up during a gobbo siege, tore the goblins to shreds and died from its wounds (well, died from a dabbling wrestler choking its one remaining head.)

Then, after that was successfully repelled, i got another siege. These gobbos arrived just in time for the elves to come for trading; all but one gobbo ran into a cage trap. The last gobbo attacked the elves and their horses- because i was biding my time the goblin managed to train up to Hammer Lord and then came and ripped my military to shreds. Damn hippies didn't fight back.
Thankfully i had one last trick up my sleeve. The 'Civilian Alert' burrow was surrounded on all sides by cage traps, so I lured the gobbo there and he got caught. Now I have a good thirty captured goblins. Unsure of what to do, personally.
