Add warebeasts. They sneak into your fortress on a full moon and try to sell you things you don't need, setting up massive stalls that block your hallways and room.

If we're going to have warebeasts, we'll also need werehouses--which are ordinary citizens who, once a month, turn into a fully constructed wooden house for 1 full day. Anybody unlucky enough to be inside the werehouse when it changes back will be consumed without a trace.

There's also a particular strain of warebeasts who make duplicates of objects and spread them to others who then become warebeasts and make duplicates of objects spreading them on, etc. etc.

These can be handled by the sheriff or captain of guard, but when one warebeast is jailed, another pops up somewhere else.

Were-beasts. Creatures that used to be beasts, but aren't anymore.

Whenbeasts, which are werebeasts that time travel. This means your fort can be attacked by the same whenbeast again and again even after it dies, since its past incarnation can just travel forward in time from any moment before you killed it.

Whatbeasts. If your fort is attacked by one, your dwarves won't acknowledge it at all; what beast?!

Whobeasts.  If one gets into your fortress, all text generated by the game (including the interface) changes to resemble something out of a Dr. Seuss book.

Whybeasts. They look and behave exactly like all others of their species, but their death will have profound philosophical effects on all those who witness it (or its immediate effects), causing them to go On Break for extended periods of time, which they will spend in deep introspection. If your Tanner, Bone Carver, and especially Butcher suddenly have skill ranks in Student, Reader, Critical Thinker, and Logician, you've probably been visited by a whybeast. It can even trigger the onset of Strange Moods, although the artifacts produced thereby are always books/scrolls.

And if all those beasts are at the same time in your fortress, every open crime is solved.

Or a "wherebeast" shows up and hides all the evidence.

It's all fun and games until the whodoneitbeast shows up and causes mass confusion in the fort.

Your dwarves will collectively question what it is but compulsively attempt to mate with it.
