Wikipedia article

This article is about an older version of DF.
A small, grey, tree-dwelling creature.

Koalas are solitary animals who inhabit temperate broadleaf forests. Small in size, being only twice the size of a cat, they are benign meanderers who do little but roam around aimlessly, fleeing from any attempts of interaction, which makes them very easy prey for your dwarven hunters. An infant koala is called a joey, and they are born with Legendary skill in climbing.

Koalas can be captured in cage traps and trained into exotic pets. They give fairly low returns when butchered, less than something more easily accessible like a dog, making them poor targets for a meat industry.

Some dwarves like koalas for their adorable appearance.

Admired for its adorable appearance.
D4Dwarf.png This article or section has been rated D for Dwarf. It may include witty humour, not-so-witty humour, bad humour, in-jokes, pop culture references, and references to the Bay12 forums. Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable.


Despite popular belief, koalas are not bears. Grizzly bear men are offended by such remarks and would kindly request all dwarves to stop.

What they truly are, however, is danger incarnate, lurking on the trees and dropping down on your head to bite you to death. At least according to the humans, and surely they wouldn't lie about such things.
