40d Talk:Tame
Do we know for sure that if an animal that kills a dwarf is tamed, it can still kill your dwarves?--Richards 14:42, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
- It's been confirmed in talk for cages and captured creatures. Any creature that has killed any civilized creature will start killing dwarves on release.--Dadamh 14:12, 29 May 2008 (EDT)
- Why exactly is that, doesn't tame mean "doesn't attack dwarves"? --AlexFili 06:32, 3 June 2008 (EDT)
- It's tasted BLOOD! --Savok 08:21, 3 June 2008 (EDT)
- I have tamed a hydra that had killed several human siegers before deciding to wander into one of my cage traps. Upon release it behaved itself. So I don't think it's accurate to say that killing 'any civilized creature' will make a creature untameable. Seems it only applies to dwarves if it still applies at all.

- Would it be said that laying siege to a settlement is a civilised act? Perhaps "friendly" (merchants, etc.) would've been a more appropriate word than "civilized"? --Raumkraut 07:53, 28 July 2008 (EDT)
I had cage-trapped a Dragon that arrived at my Fortress; it was caged before it had even seen any thing, so no killing. So I tamed and released it, upon which it made a beeline for my King and tried to set him on fire. It only managed to burn Dwarf Gap before the fortress guard took it out. So why couldn't I properly tame the dragon? HeWhoIsPale 09:23, 6 October 2008 (EDT)
- If it had a name it probably killed during worldgen. --Birthright 21:54, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- Birth, all megabeasts have names at worldgen regardless of whether or not they have killed anything. And chances are it had killed something in worldgen, or before getting to the fortress. Training megabeasts is *dumb* unless you savescum and check the legends then reload the fortress game to make sure it hasn't killed anyone. If it has, just sell it to the Elves.

I just tamed a dragon which had killed (Human) merchants who were locked out of my fortress (siege and megabeast at once). It didn't kill any of my dwarves before i captured it. once tame it wandered around a bit inside, went to the well, and then threw itself into a volcano. :( - Iveskins nov 2009
Do tamed exotic animals, cave crocs for example, give birth to tame babies? --Altaree 13:19, 25 March 2010 (UTC) yes they do.
