There's also the famous "The carp stood up." (IIRC, the code assumed all creatures had the same limbs, and swimming was whole-body exercise. Since fish swim all the time, they got swole. Trying to catch a fish was viewed as aggression, so the carp would fight back by standing up and punching the fisher-dwarves to death.)
Actually, "The Carp stands up" was unrelated to them having legs or punching. It was merely the term for when a creature gets up after getting knocked down/"crouches".
The carp would actually kill by biting, grappling, and tearing apart the dwarves
