I decided to make both work. Standing in the arterial spray as you cut into the beasts flesh, drinking deeply of it's sundered veins and paddling through its blood with no shoes all work just as well.

EDIT: Fire giants pretty much done. Different skin/eye/hair colours from normal jotunn. Bigger, can breath fire over short range and have more armour. Come a lot later than normal giants.

Have thrown together boars made of bronze that roam the cavern layer 1-2. Intended to be brought by dwarven caravans. War trainable, based on Gullinbursti.

Fafnir was the inspiration for it.

I made dragons immune to the effect. Not much fun cutting a dragon only to make it nigh invulnerable is there.

Though from arena tests I've found elves beat the crap out of berserkers. Same thing as human vs jotunn, too many actions at the start, granted if an elf does get walloped he's prone to losing limbs but still.

Dragon blooded berserkers on the other hand can kill a ton of elves when both sides have iron gear, since the berserker is nigh immortal after drinking dragons blood the elves attacks mostly bounce off. Add in the pain immunity and berserkers can just slash them up at their leisure with nothing to worry about except bloodloss from nicks and cuts.

I've got dwarves dealt with for now, they still need some unique creatures to bring, I was thinking boar constructs since those exist in the folklore, and some special gear and plantlife.

After that I'll do the fire giants since they'll be nice and easy.

EDIT: Decided to give dragons a tweak, they now have more colour variation, are bigger, have a child token, fly and their blood imparts great resilience on those who bathe in it or drink it.

Altered elves, made them lightning fast, have no armour except mail shirts, reduced weapons, no bows, metal use and babysnatcher, plus some ethics changes and made them human size.

It's not really worth the time it takes but it's nicely thematic for surface forts.

As I recall you can automate the whole process by adding the [AUTOMATIC] token to the wax pressing reaction.

And I think I'm the one who set up the hives we have.

A weapon about the size of a short spear with a semi decent edged attack would probably be the closest to simulating a harpoons ability to tear flesh.
