Husks cannot be stunned and they do not breathe.  Dropping them will only cause falling damage and drowning them will only make them slightly more moist when they come to rip you open.

Imagine the will it took to create a fortress like this. And what have you elves built? Nothing. You can only loot and break. You're not dwarves!! You're just termites at Versailles.

It's not that I don't suffer, it's that I know the unimportance of suffering, I know that pain is to be fought and thrown aside, not to be accepted as part of one's soul and as a permanent scar across one's view of existence.

Oh god. Are you getting clown husks?

Also, how do husks compare to thralls? A badly timed cat-thrall just single-handedly crumbled my fort, even though my seven drafted dwarves broke every bone in its body.

I'm going out on a limb here and say the husks. They've got lot of resiliency tags on them.

That said: Seriously? Hell itself beaten back by husks. Now there is an enemy worthy of planning your fort around.

A demon composed of fire set the world aflame and wiped out probably 40% of the smaller husks. Guess we figured out the primary weapon for them. The giant dingo Husks didn't give a fuck. The demons are putting up a good fight, but now that there's no more trees to burn, and the fact that theres more or less constant reinforcements for the Husks...... as of right now the only surviving demons are 5 flying, webshooting pterosaurs, and the aforementioned "Demon of tears" composed of fire. His currently fighting 3 Giant Dingo husks who have a full screen of scars and wounds, and are missing every bit of fat on their bodies.
Oh and Blizzard Spirit in the shape of an aphid. It only has one leg left.

So maybe this would also work as an anti-husk fortress:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Are the giant dingo husks on fire at least?

It is said knowledge is like a foul-smelling herb. It must be cooked well and thoroughly with experience to make it palatable. A young scholar's knowledge is therefore not only worthless but disgusting. -- In Dwarf Fortress you have another paradigm. Gather as much of that smelly herb as you can and toss it at your enemy, fracturing his skull through the +capybara man leather cap+.

Yeah they are. Looking at its EXTENSIVE list of injuries it appears to be no more than a giant charred and flaming skeleton. I think the demons may win this, if only because of the stupid demon composed of flames. Hes yet to take an injury. All the other demons are horribly mutilated, kept alive only because they're in a sea of webs that the Husks have to claw through to get at.

So, husks and thralls* (stronger version of husks?) are new HFS? Well, not exactly hidden, but certainly very FUN stuff.

I haven't encountered thralls yet, what makes you say they're stronger?

I seen two reports of cats. Huskified cat was not very big problem, but enthralled cat wiped out young fort alone.

And talking about demons, they barely hold at all only because they cannot be infected.
