That's... kinda... descending to a lower plane of existence. Pretty epic. See if you can get out by any means, including dfusion, and if yes, then go sneak around and bite stuff.

Dfusion pretty much makes this glitch easy to replicate and gives you more control on who you swap to.
the thing that causes this must be the game losing track of who's in slot 0 which should be the adventurer slot.
Sleeping in a glacier must have cause the game to miss count which slot you where and fill that in with the random character. this won't effect the legends which still follow your now NPC adventure and force the game to find another character to fill in that slot each time you travel seeing how to unload the map and reload it.

This bug is awesome, I woke up as a hippo swimming in a river, now I'm going around biting at fish until I can find someway to get out of it
This would make for a good LP or something...

edit: How do you climb ramps when you're swimming?

Either move on them or ALT+move.

This is awesome! The first thing I thought of when I played adventure mode was "I wish there was a Quantum Leap mod." My wish has come true!

Kinda reminds me of the time I teleported  to the bottom of a Kobold cave and had to fight my way out. 
There was less body swapping tho

While doing something similar, I once got swapped into an olm. This bug probably is glacier-related.

"In the lands of the south, your dreams can be made true... In the frost lands of the south, the aurora borealis fills the sky with magical energy. I once journeyed there, to reflect on the beauty of nature. After many long nights of fishing, I just laid and let the dreams come as they may while enjoying the smoke of an aged glumprong branch. I dreamt that I was a giant, hundreds of times more voluminous than any mortal... but I am rambling again. The oceans of ice contain much magical wisdom, waiting for you to come and partake."

Awesome bug, I keep dropping in the ocean, resting (!) and spawning as a cavern beast.  First I was a crundle.  Then a human mechanic.  I died, giving someone a chance at heroism and starting a little epic in the process. I was a voracious cave crawler.  The cavern was full of crundles, crocodiles and stranglers, I killed all of them.  Then I noted a battle between a strangler and an antmen tribe.  The strangler got one, but they got the strangler. I killed what I thought was all of them.  Mostly grabbing limbs and tearing--voracious crawlers are enormous, as I realize.  Then the queen ant appeared.  She shot me full of darts before I even got there.  I bit off her hand. She fired a dart into my head, pierced the brain, killed me.  I guess it helps having 4 hands. Now the ant queen can heroically rebuild her tribe with a legend to tell the hatchlings.

Use tweak and punch a hole through the ground all the way to the surface. After recruiting a demonic legion of course.

Then siege the elves.

Good idea.

Toadys somehow accidentally incorporated reincarnation and the afterlife into the game, only in dwarf fortress could something so amazing happen.

I just discovered this topic. This is the greatest bug ever.
I've never actually gotten to see Hell in DF before. I didn't know it was so much like the caverns you can find scatted everywhere.
Now I'm an elephant.
Now I'm on the ocean.
Now the game is frozen.
Now DF is the most needlessly detailed game I've ever played.

wait didn't I hear that before?

If you do stuff while in, say, the law-giver's body, does it show up in their Legends entry?

Also, this means that apparently Toady has the basic framework down for taking control of already-existing folks in the world. Awesome.

oh well maybe I should up date that body swap thread on the glacier method

It seems a lot more open than any cave my adventure's have been in.
