Mod-related stuff

Here are some random stuff that I managed to produce while playing with the raws. I thought that trying to emulate this Lovecraftian high fantasy setting that I've been working on in DF would be a fun idea, so yeah. :|

Ramazac Behemoth

Fluff

The source of Malagi immortality is not their foul cannibalistic practices or the association with the Noi. No, it is far more terrible than either of those--it is their own madness. Each Malagos is filled with the delusion that they are perfect and that they will never perish. This supernatural egomania tears apart the fundamental forces of the world, allowing them to feed on the divine soul-stuff itself.

The tremendous power attained through Malagi vampirism only intensifies the delusion that inspired it in the first place. Though many Malagi are found and destroyed before they reach the Culegos stage of development, some--the most cunning of the lot--do survive. The most powerful of the Culegos vampires are called "Ramazec"--the Manticores and the City-Eaters. The distinction between a regular Culegos and a Ramazac is that the latter achieves a delusion of such density that the body is no longer capable of withholding their ugliness--the foul rot rips apart the skin and the beast within explodes outward.

A thing of infinite hunger.

Ramazec often choose to forego cleverness in favor of quick, easy feeding. The vampire would wage war against cities and fortresses--and often emerge victorious and no longer hungry. Their modus operandi makes detecting them certainly easier, but suppressing them is another matter. With each hero that fall by the Ramazac's claws, the vampire only grows stronger. To destroy Ramazec, one must strike at the full force, and as quickly as possible. Failure to do so is the birth of a Ramazac Behemoth, who find the world to be mere sustenance.

Notes

I tried to make this critter the highest upper end of threats in the mod (except for the HFS) with the stats to match up with their position in the setting--but I get this feeling that this is basically unkillable. >_> I've seen megabeasts with size 40+ get casually destroyed by dwarves in some mods, but none of them had 16 body parts to attack with. I'm not really sure I want to play until one of these stumble by my fort, though. <_<

How would it play out, theoretically? The ability to attack basically everyone at once + Size 48 makes this thing rather formidable, but DAMBLOCK of -4 and redundant organs (which I understand to actually be weakness in DF at this point of the time?) might balance that out.
