Vermin are primarily notable for their ability to annoy or accost [[dwarves]], whether by being a general nuisance (e.g. flies, all dwarves) or by triggering disgust ("detests", only specific dwarves). Most dwarves will have [[thought]]s related to such a terrible type of vermin they detest, and will suffer a significant mood penalty any time they spot that vermin. This also applies if the vermin is seen in a [[cage]], thus hateable (see list) vermin make a poor choice for placement in a [[zoo]]. | Vermin are primarily notable for their ability to annoy or accost [[dwarves]], whether by being a general nuisance (e.g. flies, all dwarves) or by triggering disgust ("detests", only specific dwarves).

Some vermin will also eat any [[food]] in [[stockpile]]s they can manage to get a hold on, causing [[wear]] on that [[food]]. Food that has been protected in [[barrel]]s will be immune, but food that is exposed will be nibbled at and will eventually wear out and be destroyed. Some particularly tenacious vermin, such as lizards, can work their way through weak containers; [[metal]] [[barrel]]s are over ten times more effective at keeping your food safe. Having [[cat]]s will keep vermin to a minimum, thus keeping your food safe. | Some vermin will also eat any [[food]] in [[stockpile]]s they can manage to get a hold on, causing [[wear]] on that [[food]].
