My save includes enemy that is lying on the ground, unable to do anything and still terrifies entire fort. But it may be borderline with suggestion.

Okay. I've edited the report to better reflect the issue. I wouldn't have assumed that harmless creatures should include disabled enemies.

Same problem. Mega beast trapped underneath fort terrifies 95% of dwarves causing them to get stuck in corner of fort. Tantrums ensue, all die.

     Undead hand lands on top of wall, all dwarves that enter the surface walled off area are unable to return to the interior of the fort. Fort comes to the same end... Tantrums, all die (with undead mixed in).

Lost two forts in a row due to this issue, feeling discouraged, please fix.

P.S. Before trantums happened fort was entirely fine, full of happy dwarves. NOT enjoying then enemies ability to use extremely effective psychological warfare.
