Where to even begin? Boatmurdered, quite frankly, is a veritable nightmare fuel refinery.
- The elephants. Fast, hard to kill, and with a taste for the blood of dwarves and anything else that moves. They proved a major source of dwarf deaths for Boatmurdered in the early days of the fort, up until Project: Fuck The World was completed, trampling dwarves to death and killing anyone who came out to loot the bodies.
- Early on, there was an attack by Mandrills, which resulted in a few war dogs running out and attacking. One of the dogs gives birth while ripping a mandrill to shreds, and her puppies join in on the carnage. One of the puppies gets hit, half his chest winds up missing. Then it's stated that he's still running around the fort with half his chest missing. 'Makes it damn disturbing when he humps your leg', indeed.
- Most of Emperor Sankis' engravings. Most consist of elephants killing dwarves, dwarves killing elephants, dwarves burning, dwarves screaming, elephants screaming, cheese, or much, much worse.
- Project: Fuck The World. A superweapon-slash-defence mechanism created by the notorious StarkRavingMad, which works by funnelling lava to the outside of the fort, burning anything outside alive. It quickly becomes the fort's first, last and only answer to anything they don't like, only for it to eventually backfire as a ruler burns a group of human merchants with the lava, accidentally setting a siege engine on fire and driving everyone in the fort mad from smoke inhalation, resulting in everyone either 'wandering into the flames' or going bonkers and murdering each other.
- The human merchants in question were sent by Boatmurdered's only allies in the entire world, meaning that the dwarves have inadvertently started a war with no one else to turn to. If the fire and smoke didn't kill the denizens of Boatmurdered, an army of furious humans certainly would have.
