I normally would be against this, but I just started the game, have no military yet, and no way of walling off the entrance in time to stop it from getting in. I was just going to battle it and see what happens, but then I heard that anyone it bites also gets the curse. There's no way I want to deal with a whole bunch of cursed dwarves ready to pop in my fortress - I don't have the infrastructure this early in the game. So I want to cheat. How do I insta-kill / cure / delete the weretortoise from the game so I don't have to deal with it?

Just to summarise: the WereTortoise has already appeared, and I want to completely remove it from the map

  • You could also theoretically change the stats for the Weretortoise so it's bite has little or no chance of succeeding...

It's not going to be easy.

As you may know, Dwarf Fortress has no cheating system built in other than what can be done through modding/hacking.

You are probably going to need DFHack. DFHack edits Dwarf Fortresses memory directly and should be able to remove the offending Dwarf. The specific dfhack command to kill a unit is "exterminate". Used with no argument, this command will list all possible targets to kill. An alternative for the sadistic is to use the DFHack command "liquids-here", which will drop 7/7 magma on the location highlighted by your cursor.

Disclaimer: As far as I know, using DFHack is not considered illegal as it has been discussed and distributed on the bay12forums with no negative response from the author.
