I had a very good laugh, too, that the first werebeast I faced in DF was a wereass.  I saw a little doubt above about the existence of a wereass, so I did some quick research for past references and found this and a couple of others.  http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=157246.0  So they do exist in DF, and if I remember back to my college days and some latenight dates, I think I may have seen one or two in real life.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

A wizard has turned you into a wagon. This was inevitable (Y/y)?

Indeed.  It just seemed that some players with far more playing time than me were unsure if the wereass actually existed in the game.

I've always wondered why vanilla donkeys in the game are just called "donkeys" whereas supernatural beasts with a donkey template are called "asses". My guess is that "wereass", "ass demon", "ass monster", etc. just sound infinitely funnier. :P

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.
