Ivory is a resource used to create or decorate crafts at the craftsdwarf's workshop. The exact material category when crafting is "ivory/tooth", signifying that specific kinds of teeth (the tusks of large animals) are needed for the job.

Tusks are obtained from butchering or slaughtering certain animals at the butcher's shop: elephants, narwhals, walruses, warthogs, and wild boars. Some intelligent creatures like trolls and gorlaks also have tusks, but dwarves will not butcher them.

Combat may knock teeth loose from the mouths of dwarves, animals and invaders. Such knocked-out teeth are not usable for crafting. As a rule, if the creature does not drop teeth or ivory when butchered, its teeth are not craft-worthy.

Goblins will often wear jewelry made of troll ivory.
