so in my dwarf fortress fort I intentionally picked the calmest most mirthful place near a brook for ez living (and enemies turned off), I set up my tavern open to everyone and after a month or two I got my first visitor, a warlord. A gorlak but we don't judge over here. Everything was fine and dandy, he was reciting poetry and speaking to the tavern keeper (who was the only one there besides him bc everyone else is busy asf). But then I see a notification with two glowing eyes and I was like oh..
turns out the gorlak had turned into a WERE ELEPHANT. not joking! I was so fucking scared, like this it, my months old fortress whom I put all my hope in is dead for good. but he just stood there and continued to talk. Then he snapped out of his were state and proceeded to continue talking (naked) and then left presumably very happy, saying my tavern was a place to relax. Well just to be sure next time, even if he was friendly this time around, I've named him "werelapant do not recruit" (yes with spelling mistakes). So ye
