Summary0002524: Head injury results in disembowelment
DescriptionSeen in combat logs (in fortress mode):

[.. combat starts, gorlak loses a leg to the initial charge ..]
The Axedwarf hacks The Gorlak in the head with her *steel battle axe*, tearing apart the muscle!
An artery has been opened by the strike!
The guts pops out of the wound!
The *steel battle axe* has lodged firmly in the wound!
The Axedwarf twists the embedded *steel battle axe* around in The Gorlak's head!
The Axedwarf hacks The Gorlak in the guts with her *steel battle axe* and the severed part sails off in an arc!
The Gorlak looks sick!
[.. combat continues ..]

Doesn't make sense for a head wound to result in disembowelment, unless gorlaks have a very odd anatomy.

They do. They have BODY_HEAD, which means their limbs and internal organs attach directly to the head, without a separate upper or lower body.

I guess this is a minor description text problem then - they're described as humanoid.

Yeah, I don't see a problem there. They're humanoid in that they have arms and legs. The "Most of its body is taken up by a huge tusked mouth" part makes it clear that it's all intentional.
