I just can't wait to see what the next Forgotten Beast is  ! I hope it's a Dinosaur of some kind.

Sorry, nothing quite so magnificent.  I present to you: Quelge Thefin Usluh, Forgotten Beast:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

For the record, this is my first forgotten beast for the first fortress that that actually survived long enough for me to start building madly.  He appeared in the first set of caverns.  I was enduring siege after siege when this blighter decided to sit in the water, a few levels below my main staircase, scaring away all of my metalworkers, weaponsmiths, and armoursmiths who refused to climb down to the magma forges.  I wound up clustering my marksdwarves in the stairs, peppering him with bolts.  I finally had a ledge opened up overlooking the underground lake where Quelge had taken up residence.  Quelge ended his existence, riddled with bolts from a squad of marksdwarves, eventually bleeding out in the water he called home as the grim dwarves looked on from above.  His rotted lower body is all that remains of the mysterious, hideous beast.

I can give this one a shot...skinless toad, enormous shell, deadly dust, rhythmic undulation, shot to death, upper body go...you know that the death-u-screen thing always shows the basic body part (i.e. upper body) as missing, right?

Congrats on a well-deserved victory, Knick. 
Maybe you should make a series of comics about The Forgotten Beasts From Outer Space? 

Now, about that toad...

Good thing I have a bit of experience in drawing skinless things.

Brrr, that is creepy.

Holy shit, man. Game over.

[GreatWyrmGold]

That shell's not very enormous...

I'll post my Quelge Thefin Hsluh as soon as I remove the skin and get my drawing onto Tinypic or whatever.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I've got it!

Spoiler: HUGE Image! (click to show/hide)

Let's give a round of applause for my digital camera, which has left this image a bit bigger than the piece of paper I drew it on!
 Okay, it's not colored, but I included six crudely-drawn dwarves and a bunch of cavern wildlife! And the shell is actually enormous! And the head looks like a skull with some muscle and sinew on it!

So umm, yeah. Posting to watch.

Actually, I didn't know that.  Right now, there is only a skeleton and a pool of blood in an underground lake.

Well, you learn something new every day! There you go.
How do you like my interpretation of Quelge the Pincushion?

Notify spams you with emails. Posting in the thread makes it show up in the new replies list. even if you just post an empty-looking post.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Well, whaddya know. I just use the notify thingy to get emails.

[Rose]

Yeah, lots of us check the forums often enough that emails are superfluous.

Even a couple emails can seem like spam while new replies list is cool (yeah, I'm just posting for new replies list)
