This article is about an older version of DF.

Tigermen (half man, half tiger) are the anthropomorphic (or human-like) relatives of Template:Ls, often inhabiting Template:L and Template:L Template:L. They are large, predatory carnivores that can present Template:L to an unarmed Template:L.

Tamed tigermen

As of version 31.16, Template:L merchants will sometimes bring tamed (enslaved?) Tigermen to Template:L. Often, these tigermen have various skills, similar to those of Template:Ls. This is due to the combination of the Tigerman's [PET] and [CAN_LEARN] tags, and also results in dwarves being able to tame Tigermen without a Template:L. As they cannot work, they have plenty of time to improve their social skills. A tigerman may even become the mayor of your fortress.

Tamed tigermen will die of dehydration or hunger if left in their cages. Once released, they will wander around the fortress much like any other domestic animal, even having (named!) offspring. Goblin Template:L consider Stray Tigerman Cubs (Tame) a valid target for kidnapping. While mingling with your dwarves, Tigermen will gain conversational skills. They can be designated for Template:Ly, but will never actually be struck down as dwarves refuse to eat intelligent creatures.

Tigermen can be assigned to ropes and cages, but if they cannot reach water or food they will die. Template:L Tigermen up next to a water source works, as long as they have a food stockpile nearby. For whatever reason, Tigermen cannot use Template:Ls suspended more than one Template:L above water, so keep that in mind when deciding where to place them.

Tigermen have the [CARNIVORE] tag, meaning they will also refuse to eat anything that isn't meat. If you plan on keeping tigermen around, be sure to butcher an animal every so often or they'll starve.
