What do you think all those toy drums and puzzleboxes that leave my budding fortress are made of?

Actually, I've encountered lungfish and they were entirely nonthreatening. My dwarves ignored them, and they wandered around the map and coexisted peacefully down in my dwarven cave system.
As for the others, I too have read some nasty things about carp and pike in this version.</STRONG>
It's odd to see them flopping around the map and appearing and disappearing like vermin, but hey -- the cats seem to like them.

Hmmmmm... are the bands layered overtop of each other? If so, I -might- have an idea of what game it is (Oldish, PC, RPG?) but can't put a finger on the name right now.

Haven't played it but that sounds like Sly Cooper.
What I had posted earlier...

On the wall is an engraving of a large human, a small human, and a rhinoceros. The large human is raising the small human. The small human is screaming. The rhinoceros is striking down the small human.
Apparently no one has guessed it, so I'll add to it.
On the wall is an engraving of a large human, a small human, and piranhas. The large human is raising the small human. The small human is speaking to the large human. The piranhas are jumping at the small human.
And one more to add:
On the wall is an engraving of a large human, small humans, and a sarcophagus. The large human is emerging from the sarcophagus. The large human is shooting and killing the small humans.
Ah, hell with it.
On the wall is an engraving of a large human and a polar bear. The polar bear is making a plaintive gesture. The large human is making a threatening gesture.
(NOTE: "Large" doesn't imply giantesque, just a big, angry guy.)

Age of Empires 2, or Age of Mythology, methinks? I'd say AoE1 as well, but don't recall javelins to exist in that game.

Since nobody guessed it, I'll add a few lines.On the wall is an engraving of colonial dwarves, a blue Dragoon and a red King. The Dragoon is striking a menacing pose. The King is cringing. The colonial dwarves are rejoicing about newly gained independance.
On the ground is an engraving of a naval battle. A frigate sporting a blue flag is fighting a man-o-war sporting a red flag. The frigate is retreating, the man-o-war is striking a menacing pose.
On the wall is a picture of a raiding party of natives and a colony. The natives are striking a menacing pose. The colony is cringing.</STRONG>
Colonization?
