Turn the gastric system into a magma proof pump so the giant whale floods the world with lava vomit.

Turn the ocean to stone.

what could be dwarfier than filling an ocean with magma while committing extinction-event level genocide and (hypothetically) dooming the world by hollowing its mantle?

Why just vomit?  It's anatomically correct, right?

Yes. In DF, the only things that come out your body are vomit and blood.

EDIT: And pus, and guts. Happy?

And pus. Trust me, I have had many a fort flooded with cat pus.

After reading this thread, I was thinking: If you found a dead giant sperm whale in adventure mode, you could use necro powers to animate it and turn it into a walking fortress.

There would be no survivors.

Now that would take some serious pulping.

If only vampirism transferred via bites instead of blood...

1) Next update, create a fort with GSW's nearby, create a mechanism for draining the water, and retire it.
2) Visit as a vampire adventurer, drain the water, and make the GSW a vampire.
3) Unretire for a particularly fun vampire case.

Husk GSWs.
Best idea ever.

GSW adventurer. Swimming in haunted seas until huskified and take over the world.

Swimming skill for aquatic creatures should cover how well they move on land.

Call me Urist McIshmael.  Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no blood on my hands, and nothing particular to interest me on the Mountainhomes, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.  It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the liver.  Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly Timber in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before ≡coffin≡s, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong alcoholic principle to prevent me from deliberately doing something stupid, and methodically flooding the entire fort with !!magma!!—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.  This is my substitute for doing what normal Dwarfs do.  With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship.  There is nothing surprising in this.  If they but knew it, almost all dwarfs in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.
