Don't fuck with giant capybaras. BADGERS D:

Badgers are pussies.

Gotta agree with this.

Normal badgers will get their asses handed to them by just about anything, only when fucking huge do they pose a threat.

Capybaras, on the other hand, will give you hell no matter what size they are.

*blink blink* Am I missing something? I'm in a clam environment so I just handed some dwarves crossbows and told them to go hunt. I've not had any trouble with the taking down Capybaras left, right and centre....

They're not much of a threat to hunter most of the time. It's the fact that they're aggressive, and like to fuck with just about everything that walks past them, that makes them a problem

Once, when i was starting a fortress, one of the bastards killed my hunter's dog, and sent her into some sort of chronic depression. For a while, i had to make sure absolutely nothing bad happened to her, so that she didn't decide to take it out her unarmed comrades.

The hunters are all physcally perfect, legendary marksdwarves, fighters and dodgers, clad in artifact adamantine equipment, wielding masterwork platinum crossbows and firing slade bolts.

>slade bolts

Yeah, no.

On the subject of badgers: I refuse to be scared of anything that doesn't even reach my knee and that I'm pretty sure I could kick to death.

One of my forts was wiped out by an undead one.

The clue is in GIANT badgers.
I make bone bolts out of capybaras and badgers.... But yeah if it's giant you're better off just leaving them alone.

No, regular capybara are just hulk-hamsters and are no danger at all. Giant capybara is where they start being dangerous because then, and only then, can they chomp limbs.

Capybaras and Badgers can all get lucky.

VERY, VERY lucky.

Oh certainly. But so can anything. My brother's lost Dwarfs to rampaging muskoxen and I've lost Dwarfs dodging asshole-wildlife anger by hiding at the bottom of a murky pool.

I once saw a muskox kill an armored soldier in Adventure. It got a name, and became the enemy of the civ.

I once had a wild yak kick a dwarf into my volcano. The git.

And aforementioned muskox too. Critter was edging its way inside my fort and I didn'r want it there because of the large amount of Dwarfs who could've easily been crushed by a rampaging muskox. So I sent my MCap at it. He was pretty promising. (liked bronze and two handed swords!) He punched and slapped it out of my fortress, I cancelled the kill order, he continued, the muskox then decided to turn the tables and kicked his bone helm-protected head in.

I then tried to avenge him with my crossbow captain but he'd sauntered off the map by then.
