An animal trainer works at an [[Activity_zone#Animal_Training|animal training zone]], taming certain animals (with food), turning some [[tame animals]] into war or hunting animals and reinforcing tameness of animals captured in a [[Trap#Cage_Trap|cage trap]] and tamed later. |
− | + | ==Training Tasks== | |
− | An [[ | + | ===Train a Hunting Animal=== |
+ | Requires: An [[Cage|uncaged]] '''tame''' animal with [TRAINABLE] or [TRAINABLE_HUNTING], an 'animal training' activity zone, and an [[animal trainer]]. Note that an animal that is in a pasture can only be trained if the zone is also in the same [[pasture]]. | ||
− | + | Hunting animals can be assigned ({{K|v}}-select dwarf-{{K|p}}-{{K|e}}) to follow a hunter and assist in the hunting process. They are faster and more agile than a regular tamed animal, but not as strong as a war animal and cannot be unassigned. | |
− | |||

− | + | ===Train a War Animal=== | |
+ | Requires: An [[Cage|uncaged]] '''tame''' animal with [TRAINABLE] (or [TRAINABLE_WAR], although no such animals exist), an 'animal training' activity zone, and an [[animal trainer]]. [[Pasture|Pastured]] animals can only be trained if the zone is located within their pasture. | ||
− | + | A war animal is stronger than its untrained counterpart. War dogs make excellent companions when starting a fortress, when you can't spare many dwarves for fighting. | |
− | + | Like hunting animals, they can also be assigned to individual dwarves; combined with their strength, this makes them effective expendable bodyguards for any dwarf likely to see danger or who you feel is valuable enough to be worth protecting. Even if they fail to defeat an attacker, they can often buy their charge time to escape or for additional reinforcements to arrive. | |

− | + | ==Notes== | |
− | + | Animal tab ({{k|z}} - {{k|Enter}}) has a list of all animals that are tame (and belong to your civilization) or are caged and can be tamed. Each animal on the list can be assigned a trainer, who will then tame (if needed) the animal, increase its tameness (if not born from tamed animals) or train it for war or hunting (if selected for hunting or training). Not all animals can be trained for war or hunting. Taming or increasing tameness requires an 'Animal Training' activity zone and food (edible [[crop|plant]] for herbivores, [[meat]] for carnivores), which the trainer will bring to the animals. If a caged animal is fed a plant, [[seed]]s will stay in the cage, possibly making it unusable until all the seeds in it are [[Activity zone#Garbage Dump|dump]]ed. | |
− | + | Certain animals are trivial to tame ([[domestic animal]]s are well known by dwarven civilizations), some are rather easy to tame (animals from [[Cavern]]s aren't alien to dwarves). Other creatures will require more attention, at least until your fortress manages to get familiar with them. Which animals are known and how well can be checked in the second sub-tab in "Animals" tab. Badly trained animals can revert to a wild state, resulting in [[fun|dragons rampaging through the fortress]]. | |
