They're over 16 times heavier than the average [[dwarf]], but are generally benign and timid creatures who flee rather than fight, but if they do fight, their large size can allow them to easily dispatch a lone [[hunter]] who ventures too close; in combat, their hooves and mass make a good [[natural weapon]]. A new born giraffe is called a ''calf''. |
Giraffes can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into valuable exotic [[pet]]s. Their large size means they provide great amounts of returns when [[butcher]]ed, making them good targets for a [[meat industry]]. Products made from giraffe parts are [[item value|worth]] 5 times more than those made from common animals. They take 10 years to reach adulthood, but are fully grown by the age of 5. When trained, giraffes become [[grazer]]s, and as such they'll require a constant source of [[grass]] to survive; tree browsing has yet to be implemented, so giraffes will not deforest your surroundings, though the ability for them to browse trees is a planned feature. Giraffes are [[mount]]s and may be used against you during [[siege]]s, in which case, their large size will truly become a problem to your fortress. | Giraffes can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into valuable exotic [[pet]]s.
