Rampaging ettins will [[Building destroyer|destroy buildings]] and tear through unskilled [[Dwarf|dwarves]] with impunity thanks to their great strength. The most notable characteristic of the ettin, compared to a [[giant]] or [[cyclops]], is the fact they have two heads, meaning more than one decapitation is required to dispose of them. Additionally, ettins are [[No Stun|immune to stunning]] and will usually continue to fight even if they lose one of their heads, though they aren't immune to pain and can be slowed by it. Treat an ettin as if it were a stronger cyclops and prepare yourself accordingly.

Despite their huge size, ettins can be easily captured in any [[cage]] [[trap]]. Since they are intelligent, dwarves will not attempt to eat or make products out of them, limiting their use to [[live training]] or to serve as decoration for one of your rooms.
