Ok, I have a new problem, I captured a whole bunch of goats in my cage traps. I couldn't kill them because whenever I tried to tame them, one would get lose and cancel all the jobs. The taming was stalled for so long that one of the goats had kids. I tried to set the kid to a cage, and it was let loose. It killed 3 dwarves, injured 10 hunters and managed to evade a champion with legendary marksmanship and also  with the master wrestler. Any advice?--[[User:CrazyMcfobo|CrazyMcfobo]] 17:41, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

**Update** I was unsure of the fact that the mountain goat kid had actually killed the 3 (Now 4) dwarves, so I check with inv. It had blood spatters everywhere. Dwarf blood spatters. I trapped the goat in a room with 4 other dwarves. The mountain goat kid TOOK OFF ONE OF THEIR ARMS!!!! My god! Is this a new king of beasts?
 
 
::Update Because I trapped the goat in a room, I decided to make a ballista and wait for it to get in sight. Time had passed with it just sitting there. I broke open the wall and sent in my squads to lure it out, and sure enough, the goat got in my sights. The line up was perfect, a guy ready to fire, only 4 spaces away, Twang! It harmlessly passes through the goat and chopped off my champions hand! Or it might just be a light wound because I can't tell. Anyway... Anybody have any suggestions?--[[User:CrazyMcfobo|CrazyMcfobo]] 20:52, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

::::The beast has been caught! I plan to release this foul beast (Mountain Goat Kid) in my pit fall trap to dispatch any goblins with relative ease. I will update this page once I capture more goblins.--[[User:CrazyMcfobo|CrazyMcfobo]] 21:05, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

I just got the snatcher warning and it was triggered by contact with a mountain goat - all my dwarves and animals are inside. Never happened with other wild animals so far. Is there a slim chance this is special to goats (cant see smth in the raws) or is it just a bug? --[[User:Koltom|Koltom]] 19:36, 16 April 2008 (EDT)
 
 
: I've had wild animals of many types spot both goblin and kobold thieves for me before. It appears that when they are spotted by any non-friendly creature their stealth is permanently broken. However they will try to avoid being spotted now, so this only happens in tight spaces when they try to squeeze past something and it happens to walk into them. --[[User:TangoThree|TangoThree]] 07:56, 17 April 2008 (EDT)
 
 
::Actually, they don't do much avoiding until their stealth is broken; then they either stand there like idiots or run.... ~ [[User:Midna|Midna]] 12:15, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
