0003334: Dwarves wrestling by grabbing hold of opponent's teeth.
An actual combat report I just saw. "The Draftee grabs The Large Rat by the left lower incisor with her left lower leg." This report gave me a smile. It sounds like someone arrested for assault trying to explain himself to the police: "Yes Officer, he brutally attacked my fist with his nose" :)

The rat was unconscious at the time, so it's not just the combat report being "cute"

I've seen dwarves wrestling monsters by their teeth before (the monsters' teeth, not the dwarves teeth :) I suppose it might make sense to swing a sword or mace at a monster's tooth if the monster is large enough, but some wrestling holds should be recognised as just stupid.
No tags attached.

Also excellent are the sparring reports in which one dwarf strikes the other in the left eye with a sword, "lightly tapping the target."
