Dwarves will try to clean magma (not magma 1/7, just magma), even if they are in a magma flood, making it extremely dangerousfun sometimes.

River fish are terrified of 'dangerous terrain' water and will not leave for the opposite end of a river (which is the defined migration exit point) without it first being drained to 3/7'ths (which is of course dangerous to fish and they lose the capacity to swim meaning they never make it)

That sounds like a bug.

tha sounds like an unintentional misfortune in defining a certain behaviour...

A dwarf whose mood will fail while you're abandoning a fort will hold on to their last shred of sanity until the second they step on the map of your next fort as a migrant. Only then will they snap.

Underwater volcanos can remain open to air for centuries until a hapless dwarven embark party wanders in. Only then the water will rush to fill the crater and to form a nice layer of obsidian on top of the magma tube. Very useful for future forges and noble bedrooms.

Figurines can be used as improvised weapons. I watched as a planter fought a giant rat for about 5 real-life minutes, beating it into submission with his bone figurine of dwarves until it bled to death. The planter himself kept going unconscious from over-exertion.

Members of goblin civilizations can and will murder their spouses.

Did not know that.

Sometimes, a visitor to your fort is in the line of succession to some noble position elsewhere, and will suddenly become a Lord or some other noble while in your fort, possibly because their predecessor somewhere out there in the world just died.  This actually gets a popup message which is scary if you've never seen it, until you actually read the text.

[TheBiggerFish]

Didn't we find that out before?

[Squirrelloid]

Yep. Even if you don't have any at all. If you have ever made adamantine in your fort, that's all your metalsmiths will work with.

Nah.

This

Was created before this

It's worth noting that only dwarfs with metal-working professions demand adamantine.

Dwarves with non-metal-working professions, no other moodable skills, and dabbling metal-working will not demand adamantine.  (Or at least they haven't been demanding it from me at least some of the time).

I'm probably at risk of repeating something, but my expedition leader in a terrifying biome was just attacked by undead wagon wood that was reanimated by the biome.  The round lime wood logs that attacked him weren't listed in the Units menu.

Also, a prepared slug eye attacked a miner.  I thought prepared meat wasn't supposed to attack.

^{I spent way to long on a tangent watching Swedish Chef videos}

I have this great image of the Urist McSwedishChef attacking the corpse, singing a jolly tune as the meat reanimates while he is cooking it.

Elephants happily move around in tree branches. 

(I don't know that they climbed the trees - mountainside, so there were tree branches adjacent to ground from a tree at a lower z-level).
