A large flightless bird. It is very curious and has been known to follow other creatures.

Emus will walk onto your fortress grounds in solitude and meander for no reason. They are half the size of a human, so they will provide roughly around the same quantity of meat as a dog. They have a pleasant pet value and can be used as live trade goods, but the best use of them, that doesn't involve chopping them up, is putting them in the same pasture as your other egg laying animals and watch them do their stuff, if they are female. Bonus points if you snag a pair and instigate a birdsplosion.

Adventure Mode

Emus are fairly common in Adventure Mode. They appear in flocks of 1-6 or so and run away when threatened. They are poor fighters but large and are thus a good source of food.

Admired for their size and inquisitive nature
