Dakost Avédudil, Dwarf Animal Trainer doomed butcher
« on: November 22, 2021, 11:53:20 pm »

Dakost was an animal trainer and he was killed by a zombie giant. Libash Oltaramal, our Dwarf Scholar necromancer, immediately raised Dakost from death!

Now Dakost is listed in my fort's citizens list and I can still view his thoughts and preferences and various statuses. I notice that "His hands are animated when he is surprised." His hands are not the only parts animated now...

edit:
After I made this post, Dakost makes a petition of joining back into the fort! Despite the "Dakost Avédudil, Dwarf Animal Trainer doomed butcher has been missing for a week" message, he's now a functional member of the fortress again. I can even set his labour.

If he hasn't yet, he'll petition to become a full citizen again soon. Then you can modify his labors again.

Excerpts from his status page:

He has a broad body bearing impressive muscles and a great load of fat. His head is gone.

Overall, he is somewhat focused with satisfied needs. He is level-headed after doing something exciting.

I'm impressed with someone who can have a gone head and yet be level-headed.

i don't think the game text strings can distinguish between "level-headed" and "head levelled"

Must be popular with ladies. I wonder what specials powers his kind has. In my world most of necromancer towers as well as some civs were dominated by a strain of intelligent undead (named dark butcher) which has quite a lame power - cause pain. But this pain is not enough to incapacitate a cat, even after several attempts in quick succession. I keep some necromancers for experiments, but I don't want to end with this particular strain, and I'm raiding different towers to get other strains.

I didn't notice any special power he might have had. He died to a tantruming dwarf a few years ago... The necromancer who raised him also has gone stark raving mad.

I can probably assume that they don't, but do your other dwarves feel horrified by seeing or interacting with and alongside a headless zombie? Even as a citizen?

Dakost died many dwarf-years ago and many real life days ago so I can't tell. However, I still have a Goblin doomed butcher, raised from a dead goblin invader, appearing as "friendly" on unit list. He stands on the center stairs all days and I don't see him causing any negative thoughts.

I wonder if headless undead dwarves can sing.

I think one can definitely whistle without any head. As long as he has at least 1 lung, he can pinch the windpipe and play himself like a bagpipe. Things we talk about in dwarf fortress!  :o

One is reminded of the Plump Helmet Man bards (mimes!) who sometimes wayfare.

He could also play a wind instrument in this manner.
