The dwarves of my last fortress did not do so well, when they failed to close the front gate in time.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After the initial militia was dispatched, all dwarves were drafted and ordered to kill the intruder! They fought bravely with the few weapons they had but quickly succumbed to the merciless Hill Titan. After a while only a few animals and a lone baby remained.

Wait, is that titan dead?! The fortress has fallen but the titan has been slain! What hero accomplished what scores of dwarves failed to do?! Aw look, a cute bunny survived too!

A named bunny? A NAMED BUNNY?!

I um... uh... ?? they ... what?!

I propose that Buck Rabbits should be the first line of defence of any serious fortress.

Oh god the Monty Python vibes are killing me here.

[flameaway]

It's obviously a vorpal bunny.

Vorpal bunnies are badass, like Tribbles that eat people.

This bunny is pissed cuz now he has to grow a whole new pack of dwarves.

Stupid titan.

[Cyroth]

Its name is pretty awesome, too, as far as RNG titles go.
Combaturns.



I've heard of people unleashing dozens of bunnies to distract invaders (and the odd dead gobbo due to that), but a bunny killing a titan is something else entirely.

so are bunnies the new kryptonite to titans like fluffy wamblers to colossi?

I never noticed Solaire was a goddamed monthy python reference....

[Edmus]

This is amazing.

I often fill the caverns with slightly modded war bunnies and cavies. They tear FBs to shreds, especially insectoids.

[Urist McWhatTheHellGuys?]

Well combat bunnies are going to be standard procedure from now on.

[MonkeyHead]

What was that titan made of that allowed it to kill your military but to be bitten into bits by a bunny?

[Girubev]

That rabbit's dynamite!

It would seem that the game itself has beaten us to the punch before we could ask "How can we weaponize this?" The only thing we're missing now is a holy hand grenade.

[Torrenal]

We actually have that already.
One of the divine liquids:

Booze.

Load into a barrel.
Lob the barrel by mine-cart.

Note: Only effective against foes that naturally ignite things around them.

From the gamelog.txt:
The Brush Titan Durpul Ganuhlasiv Aco Ramac has come!  A huge humanoid composed of coral.  It has large mandibles and it emanates an aura of giving and kindness.

Maybe a properly armed and trained military could have killed this kind and giving creature, even with 40.05 morale issues. Mostly the dwarves were too scared to even get a hit in and started killing each other because they were so miserable. When they did attack and hit it always resulted in a fracture. This seemed to have no effect on the Titan, which kindly continued to give punches that made things explode into gore, mostly heads.

Typical:
The Brush Titan charges at The commoner!
The Brush Titan collides with The commoner!
The commoner is knocked over and tumbles backward!
The commoner stands up.
The Brush Titan misses The commoner!
The commoner hacks The Brush Titan in the right lower arm with her (silver battle axe), but the attack glances away!
The Brush Titan attacks The commoner but She jumps away!
The Brush Titan bites The commoner in the right lower leg, bruising the fat through the (pig tail fiber trousers)!
The commoner attacks The Brush Titan but It jumps away!
The commoner is no longer stunned.
The commoner hacks The Brush Titan in the left foot with her (silver battle axe), fracturing it!
The Brush Titan attacks The commoner but She jumps away!
The commoner hacks The Brush Titan in the lower body with her (silver battle axe), fracturing it!
The Brush Titan misses The commoner!
The commoner hacks The Brush Titan in the upper body with her (silver battle axe), fracturing it!
The Brush Titan misses The commoner!
The commoner hacks The Brush Titan in the right foot with her (silver battle axe), fracturing it!
The Brush Titan misses The commoner!
The commoner kicks The Brush Titan in the neck with her left foot, fracturing it!
Risen Tathtatral, miner: Help!  Save me!
The Brush Titan misses The commoner!
The Brush Titan charges at The commoner!
The commoner jumps away!
The commoner hacks The Brush Titan in the right lower arm with her (silver battle axe), fracturing it!
The Brush Titan punches The commoner in the right foot with its right hand and the injured part explodes into gore!

The upper body, which was torn apart by the bunny, had previously been hit by punches, weapon attacks, and dog bites. All those only led to fracture.

Soo... Bunnies = new king of beasts!?
