For a "Megabeast" I expected an epic battle, instead it chased a bunch of random haulers around for a bit (without catching any of them) and was killed by a single weapon trap with 5 green glass discs. Apparently the first triggering knocked the Hydra out without really wounding it and it continued to fire until I had a lovely Hydra tartare. Is this typically anti-climatic?

Even though hydras have seven heads I have only gotten one skull from butchering them, not seven. Someone please confirm this. Bouchart 18:48, 23 November 2007 (EST)

- Megabeast attacks tend to either be complete disaster or a footnote, depending on how well you're prepared. It's rarely something in between. Bronze Collossi tend to be the 'disaster' route, though. You can, at your discretion, mod Hydras and Dragons to be a lot tougher by putting scales on them in the raws, so your dwarves have to mangle up an entire layer of scales before they can harm the megabeast at all. Cage traps make basically every megabeast attack a footnote, so if you want epic struggles, don't use them. --ThunderClaw 12:02, 3 November 2008 (EST)
During a siege I had a hydra attack and 4 hammer goblins killed it within the first second of meetiing it without any causualties then they turned around and massacred my army. It was very anti-climatic and fortress ending.--Cerol The Elf Hunter 14:05, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
