'''Lions''' are strong, carnivorous and very rare [[Creature|felines]] found in [[tropical]] areas, where they appear in prides of 1 to 3 individuals. At over thrice the size of the average [[dwarf]], wild lions are quite dangerous to unarmed civilians and can rip a dwarf apart in seconds, and as such, they should be engaged with an armored [[squad]] if necessary. A newborn lion is called a ''cub''.

'''Lions''' are strong carnivorous felines found in tropical areas. They often appear in small hunting groups of 2 to 3 animals. Occasionally lions may appear as [[mount]]s during a [[siege]].
  
Lions can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into exotic [[pet]]s, and they're also sometimes brought along with [[Elf|elven]] [[caravan]]s. They can receive additional war or hunting training as well, with their large size and maximum [[Gait|speed]] making them particularly attractive for the purpose of [[fortress defense]], however their {{token|MEANDERER}} tag will cause them to move around very slowly, making them unreliable{{Bug|9588}}. Products made from lion parts are [[item value|worth]] thrice more than those made from parts of common animals. They take 3 years to reach adulthood, though are fully grown by the age of 2. Additionally, lions are exotic [[mount]]s and as such may appear during [[siege]]s, being used by surface-dwelling races.
+
Lions can be captured and tamed by an [[animal trainer]]. Although they have a moderate pet value, their [[butcher]]ing products are 3 times as valuable as common animals. Once tamed, they may also be trained for hunting or war. Because of their value, size, and utility lions can prove quite useful to your fortress if you can secure a breeding pair.  
  
Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] lions for their ''roars''.

A lion with the [CAN_LEARN] and [SPEAKS] tags is known to live in a magical land hidden within a [[cabinet|wardrobe]] along with a [[satyr]]. He often leads his [[military|armies]] in [[war|wars]] against an [[evil]] [[necromancer|witch]].
