Summary0002034: Attack a naked mole dog, "passes right through"
DescriptionI was exploring a fortress of mine in adventure mode, and when hitting a naked mole dog, got the message "You slash the naked mole dog in the upper body with your -adamantine short sword-, but the attack passes right through!" This happened several times. I then tried attacking with a steel short sword instead, with similar results. At this point, the naked mole dog was trying to run away, and I decided to try throwing objects at it. I first threw a silk earring, which glanced away, but the second object, a horse skeleton, broke one of its legs. After I chased it down, I was able to attack it normally and kill it. The second naked mole dog I found demonstrated no abnormal behavior. The ghost mole dog had been standing on a door when I first tried fighting it, but luring creatures to a doorway and hitting them there did nothing special.

I think very small creatures on the small end of the size spectrum must pass some size threshold where their parts become to small to be hit.
