Wikipedia article

This article is about an older version of DF.
A large reptile with a thick ridged shell. It has been known to consume snakes and smaller turtles, and its bite can amputate fingers.

Alligator snapping turtles are amphibious and carnivorous creatures found in temperate lakes, rivers and pools, where they may appear one at a time. They are more formidable than their common snapping turtle cousins, being over twice heavier, making them larger than the average dwarf. If provoked, they will retaliate with bites, potentially leading to lost fingers or hands... or whole dwarves.

Alligator snapping turtles can be captured in cage traps and trained into cheap exotic pets. Due to their larger size than common snapping turtles, they make for a more attractive source of meat and bones when butchered. They may also be placed in a nest box to lay eggs for cooking.

Some dwarves like alligator snapping turtles for their vicious bites and their long necks.

Admired for their vicious bites.
