Though they are generally non-hostile, they will interrupt tasks throughout the [[fortress]] and, if engaged, will usually kill an untrained [[dwarf]] (or even a war [[dog]]) in one-on-one combat. They can also be used as [[mount]]s by [[goblin]] [[siege]]rs. |
In addition to their [[meat]], [[bone]]s, [[Prepared organs|organs]], etc., elk birds will also produce a single [[feather]] and a [[gizzard stone]] when butchered. They are one of the more common creatures that leave gizzard stones. Unlike [[elk]], both genders of elk bird have [[horn]]s. This is nice, because elk bird parts are worth even more than elk parts, with a [[value]] multiplier of three. | In addition to their [[meat]], [[bone]]s, [[Prepared organs|organs]], etc., elk birds will also produce a single [[feather]] and a [[gizzard stone]] when butchered.
