Template:Elven When a dwarf has been unhappy enough, he'll decide it has been enough for him and throw a tantrum. Tantruming dwarves will cancel any job they may be doing at the moment and will start misbehaving, which includes starting fist fights (with the possibility of severely injuring other dwarves), toppling and destroying buildings or hurting pets. This is of course illegal, and they will be imprisoned or flogged for their behaviour. But even though they are punished, if their punishment is more harsh than usual their death (or the results of their misbehaviour) can cause another wave of tantrums, and your dwarves will begin a process known as a tantrum spiral which will almost certainly destroy your fotress.

Dwarf E, a noble has charges brought upon dwarves C, who punched him and dwarf A, who started this. As a result, dwarf A was badly injuerd by the hammerdwarf, and dwarf C shall be locked up for the next 6 monthes.
Dwarf F, who has his craftdwarf workshop destroyed, throws an tantrum outside and procedes to beat up dwarf G, but is interupted by a goblin siege which kills them both.
Dwarf H, the wife of dwarf G, is troubled by her husband's death, goes into melancholy and attemps to commit suicide, badly injuring herself.
