Fun fact, I created a veritable rancor pit in my fortress by placing a Titan cage in a large chamber, then sealing off the entrance, and using pressure plates + retracting bridges to drop hapless goblins into the pit. Strangely enough, whenever I have a goblin thief dumped inside, the Titan ignores them, while blissfully painting the walls red with Goblin Wrestler blood. So if you expect to use a Megabeast or other fun creature(s) to execute thieves, don't bother. --[[User:Eddie|Eddie]] 01:27, 7 January 2009 (EST) | Fun fact, I created a veritable rancor pit in my fortress by placing a Titan cage in a large chamber, then sealing off the entrance, and using pressure plates + retracting bridges to drop hapless goblins into the pit.

::If this is just an urban rumour, or a legacy of versions long past, it should be expunged.

: Raws have the flag TRAPAVOID for [[kobold]]s, [[gremlin]]s, and other things too dark to mention[[Demon|.]] In personal experience, a kobold has slipped in through a previously locked door (now "TAKEN BY INTRUDER") and another past a cage and weapon trap, before being confronted.

::It seems to me that the Distinguishing snatchers/thieves is redundant with the different types of thieves. Also, the Why thieves come and what they lead to could be explained in the introduction, unless there is a great deal more to this then "Thieves come if you have neighboring civilizations of the appropriate race. More wealth will generally lead to more thieves. If a fortress suffers enough successful thefts, the civilization may send ambushes". But anyways, go for it. The article definitely needs a rewrite. --[[User:Mikaka|Mikaka]] 18:54, 4 June 2009 (UTC) | ::It seems to me that the Distinguishing snatchers/thieves is redundant with the different types of thieves.
