They are the [[List of creatures by adult size#end_of_list|largest mundane creatures]] in the game, as massive as an adult [[dragon]] and only surpassed in total size by some [[savage]] giants. In comparison, a [[dwarf]] is 416 times smaller. An infant sperm whale is called a ''sperm whale calf''. |
Being fully-sized creatures rather than [[vermin]], the only way to fish sperm whales is to trap them on land, typically with the use of a [[drowning chamber]], though they may occasionally [[Beaching|beach]] themselves to death by their own volition. The products of an average sperm whale can feed an entire fortress of dwarves (all 200 of them) for just over a year, making it an enormous boon if you manage to catch one, providing an enormous food surplus and months of work for your [[bone carver]]s. If you want to attempt this, be sure to put your butcher's workshop near the beach. | Being fully-sized creatures rather than [[vermin]], the only way to fish sperm whales is to trap them on land, typically with the use of a [[drowning chamber]], though they may occasionally [[Beaching|beach]] themselves to death by their own volition.
