No, really.

Dwarf fortress has gotten so lifelike I think Toady has broken the plane between the worlds. I didn't even know they were aggressive in real life. Or dangerous. Next thing you know, Carp will be dragging people into the rivers and drowning them.

I'm Brazilian. Giant anteaters are very dangerous. Just look at their claws. They are known to kill hunting dogs for sport, and can easily disembowel a grown man.

And they thought those people in Irvine were just being silly when they called their sports team the Anteaters.

Anteater football is undefeated.

I may not be from Brazil but i'm going to disagree that they kill dogs for sport.

Figure of speech. They kill as many dogs as hunters send to them.

I feel sorry for the "hunters" killed by the giant anteaters, but from what I understand these animals are little more than hyper-twitchy dogs with nail extensions.  One on one I fancy my chances, and I think any dwarf would do too.

They're not the most dangerous creatures in the jungle, but I wouldn't pick a fight with one bare-handed. Those "nail extensions" are no joke if they're digging into you. And imagine the shame of having "mauled by an anteater" in your obituary.

They have a pact with the jaguars; they distract you while the jaguar jumps on you from behind.  Then the jaguar eats you and not them.

I'm new to succession forts in general, yes, but do all forts designed by multiple overseers inevitably degenerate into a body-filled labyrinth of chaos and despair like this? Or is this just a Battlefailed thing?

There isn't much middle ground between killed-by-dragon and never-seen-by-dragon.

Then I suggest seeking an alliance with ants. Ants should have little love for anteaters.

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.

A pity, because anteaters love ants.

Jaguars know anteaters can do the "hug of death" on them if they try to do that. Seriously, it's called that.

Easy solution? Quit using dog-packs on large, relatively placid herbivores with GIANT CLAWS.
