0006445: When masterpieces are melted in magma, Legends credits the melting to the first ever creature
In my fort I routinely dump the aftermath of ambushes and sieges down a garbage chute into the magma sea. One day about six masterwork bolts ended up going down the chute as well, generating the expected lost masterpiece message. Soon after, I copied my folder, abandoned, and went to Legends viewer. 5 out of 6 bolts are claimed to have been melted by a hydra (no hydra has ever visited my fort, assuming hydras don't sneak about). The remaining bolt was described as being melted by an unknown creature.
1) Dump masterwork items into the magma sea in fort mode.
2) Copy your save folder, then abandon the fort.
3) Examine your fort history to find a description of how the item was lost.
No tags attached.

As a side note, the hydra referenced in error is the very first creature listed under the Historical figures list. Even better, the entry for the hydra states that she was slain in the year 90, and then gets credit for destroying 5 of my bolts in the year 274.

Sounds the same as 0009727 to me, particularly given the research in 0009727:0040697.
