"The dungeon master ponders fell beasts and treasure."

The dungeon master is a noble and, like the expedition leader, is not a position that can be replaced by the player. S/he arrives as an immigrant and is not elected. The dungeon master arrives in a fortress' first immigrant wave after reaching a population of 50 if certain site features are present like magma, a river or a brook (as confirmed by Toady One). This only occurs after the features have been discovered. The dungeon master may also arrive alone, without immigrants.

The dungeon master has a somewhat... odd taste in clothing. He or she often shows up wearing a cloak, hood, and mittens, with nothing underneath. The dungeon master will often procure additional cloaks and wear them on top of each other, often as many as a dozen cloaks at a time.

The presence of this noble allows taming of exotic animals (by the dungeon master as well as other animal trainers). Exotic animals are animals with the [PET_EXOTIC] tag.

The dungeon master arrives with skills from both the metalsmith and ranger groups at (no adjective) skill level. These skills are:

Additionally, dungeon masters have the armorsmith, weaponsmithing and metalsmithing labor turned on even though they possess no base skill. At the momentv0.28.181.40d since there is no way of adjusting a noble's jobs this means s/he can and will take over any of these crafts from a more skilled dwarf unless Workshop Profiles are used on the forge to prevent such. However, dungeon masters will not build metal constructions. Like any noble, dungeon masters also perform some tasks that do not require any particular labor, and may gain grower skill in this way.*

(* If the standing orders option "Dwarves All Harvest" is selected (under o, "Set Orders and Options"), all dwarves, including nobles, will slowly gain Grower skill from harvesting, but will not plant unless that labor is designated for that dwarf. That is the use of the skill is what determines stack size of crops, and since it is not possible to designate that labor in Dungeon Masters, they only gain experience towards attributes from this, not a skill that can be used.)

All dungeon masters like copper, silver, electrum, gold, platinum, and cloaks, among other things.

A dungeon master will not make mandates, though they will make demands.
