Yeah, I just had a gorlak run up and punch one of my sleeping farmers in the head, completely unprovoked. I'm going to edit the main article to reflect that while mostly harmless, gorlaks are not totally benign. [[User:RedKing|RedKing]] 12:43, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

And said farmer just succumbed to an infection of the bite wound inflicted by the gorlak. So yeah, they're not totally harmless. The little bugger ran from my militia, ran into another sleeping dwarf, and promptly bit him in the head too. [[User:RedKing|RedKing]] 14:01, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Shouldn't this get a [D]warf specification, for the sarcasm / humor of this.... Or at least for clarity. BlueShamen 21:40, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Helpful?

So I'm a pretty novice player who recently started exploring caverns in dwarf mode for the first time. I see a gorlak wandering into my fortress, so I check the wiki to see what I should be doing (ignoring it? killing it? fleeing in terror?). I see this page, so I decide to let it be until it becomes annoying, whereupon it seems that I should be able to dispatch it. Then I notice that it's trying to eat one of my horse foals, which is not okay, so I dispatch my military, though before it gets there one of my miners rams an iron pick through its brain, so all's well that ends well, I guess. But is this behaviour normal for gorlaks? If so, shouldn't the article reflect this? 99.251.236.39 23:46, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
