| Summary | 0005156: Gloom husk cats give birth to normal kittens, then attack them | ||||
| Description | "-name- Cat unholy gloom husk (Tame) has given birth to a kitten" She then immediately killed it and returned to her never-ending combat with other female cat gloom husk (they can only bruise each other). It might be a bug that they hate each other, but omnicidal undead sound kinda cool. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Get cats of both genders on a map known to spawn undeath-causing clouds Pasture the female cat outside Wait for the cloud Wait for kittens | ||||
| Tags | birth, gloom husk, undead, unholy | ||||
| has duplicate | 0005330 | resolved | Noxious Cloud/Smoke Thralls having children |

Oh, and I forgot to add: I confirmed the kitten to be alive for a moment after birth. Combat logs show the mother tearing a major artery in its throat, it is also covered in cat blood (gloom husks seem not to bleed). |
|
|
Update: Dwarves somehow noticed the Stray Kitten (Tame) to be missing, even though only creatures that have ever seen were its mother and her undead nemesis. |
|
|
Update 2: Even Creepier! There are only 2 adult cat husks, but there have been 3 litters of kittens. Both husks are female, meaning that those wasn't just pregnancies that survived death, but new ones. All male cats are alive. Also: some of kittens from later litters survived the birth and assault that followed. Now their mothers keep chasing them around, trying to kill them. |

Sounds like an awesome feature to me. |

Being hostile to everyone is NOT a bug. It is intended. But somehow I do not think husks, whatever they are, should give birth to normal version. Or give birth at all. Or get spored by male normal version. |

>Being hostile to everyone is NOT a bug. Sounds to me like it is, since all other undead hordes (a bunch of kittens across the river, now killed by goblins after a surprising LOOONG fight) act as allies. Those 2 adult cat husks were fighting (without doing any damage) for few years, they only stopped after ganging up on living kittens. I think it happens when the cloud catches 2 creatures in mid-fight, but I'm not sure. |
