0004828: Goblin general shows up unarmed - Dwarf Fortress Bug Tracker

Notes

The general was unarmed and unarmored. My dwarves ran him down and converted him to a hamburger patty. After he died, he showed up in the combat reports and unit list as "Goblin Spinner". One additional comment: I don't see this as a bug for some civilizations. It is fairly common for general officers to be unarmed or lightly armed throughout history. It doesn't make a lot of sense for goblins, though, because of their style of civilization. I would expect some other jealous, armed goblin to quickly kill off an unarmed general and try to usurp his position.
