Jabberers are a threat due to their great size; they are among the largest creatures in the underground (losing only to [[blind cave ogre]]s, [[forgotten beast]]s and [[cave dragon]]s) and will use all of their strength to tear through unarmed or inexperienced dwarves. Even a heavily armored dwarf is at risk of dying immediately by being grabbed by the head and shaken by the jabberer, causing their upper spine to collapse. When facing jabberers, a powerful [[military]] is essential, though they are also equally vulnerable to [[cage]] [[trap]]s. The creatures are also an uncommon sight in [[goblin]] [[siege]]s, where they are used by the enemy as [[mount]]s. | Jabberers are a threat due to their great size; they are among the largest creatures in the underground (losing only to [[blind cave ogre]]s, [[forgotten beast]]s and [[cave dragon]]s) and will use all of their strength to tear through unarmed or inexperienced dwarves.
