Dunno. They were here when the map was settled. They don't really move so much as they glare at you with anger hot enough to fuel several supernovas.
I know real life sea sponges procreate some how.
Before we lava pipe our very narrow river and screw up the map we should first try dropping rocks on the little bastards and see if they go splat. Or someone can rig up the infamous killer floor trick and try that.

after Tuefel's turn.
I will try and organize the things later.
Not nearly a good enough singer for the Choir Invisible, and the Basement Room With A Synth Invisible is much less prestigious.Last time I played a succession game where we allowed tile sets it did permanently alter appearance. When someone not using the graphics pack played, it left random graphics from the tile set on, one case had graphics that got changed around, and there was one other glitch that was merely annoying but I can't recall what it was.
Who watches the watchmen?Mura: It is in a desert. It is a hot Savage Biome.
Between the various hostile animal people tribes and steady stream of Goblin snatchers (which means an ambush or invasion will be happening soon) we are in no danger of lack of fun.
The sponges are pests but the Wolverine people are actually dangerous to common dwarves.
Dorku: You mean Wolverine Man.

Who watches the watchmen?1. They distract the hunters who will dump entire quivers into them to no effect.
2. They scare the fishers who are one of our chief sources of meat.
3. It is far more dwarven to find a way to kill the unkillable little shits.
I am all for using a gravity drop kill device to crush them under the pedastal of a statue of an dwarven god.
Who watches the watchmen?Dropping a statue on it will do nothing. You'd have to do an outright cave-in.
That said, I recommend keeping them as training dummies. Armok loves extraordinarily prolonged suffering just as much as death.
Just assign the hunters wooden bolts so nobody cares if they train Archery for a while, and make a Fishing Zone somewhere far away.

Smile for me!The hunters already use bone or wood bolts. (the miscreants grabbed the metal bolts first chance the got from the caravan donation) The problem is they could be hunting other critters or killing wolverine people instead of wasting time shooting at sponges. I suppose I could have walled off their section of river to reduce the hunters distraction.
The sponges won't kill anything. They just sit there filled with hate and rage. Just like your average internet forum user.

I still think the best way to kill the sponges is a magma pipe.
