I have the save, but no idea how to upload it here.

Sounds like one of those cases where a creature gets mortally wounded during legends, but doesn't actually die until the creature is loaded.

Also, got the save?

To upload the save, first zip the file, then go to http://dffd.wimbli.com/index.php, [^] make an account if you haven't already (it's free) and after you've logged in, just click upload to get an upload post set up. Don't forget to actually upload the file while in that window.

Then after it's posted, just copy and paste the link.

Checked legends and it says:

"in 195, Gasom's neck was torn off by the giant anaconda Legendtops"

"in 195, the giant anaconda Legendtops was forced to retreat from Gasom, despite the latters wounds"

So, yeah, it's a case of mortal wounds happening during legends and worldgen not realizing the creature should be dead.

My apologies, I didn't see this one.

He is unable to breathe, see, stand, or grasp(probably due to the lack of a brain), but he can still talk. Try not to think about that to much.

Something similar happened to me. Had a headless migrant who suffocated after walking in 10 tiles from the edge of the map.

This has relation to the acknowledged issue 0009763 (Dwarf missing upper body, but still alive.) given it is a similar example of the same circumstance of a entity member losing vitally crucial BP, & emigrating to a fortress as a living unit.
