Tigermen for sale[edit]

The elves sold me a caged and tame (!) tigerman. At first, it died of thirst in his cage. After I reloaded the game and set him free, I saw that he has a name and even a skill: He's an adequate pacifier! He's also butcherable, though. --Doub 18:09, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

It also has a skill because he has the [CAN_LEARN] tag so it can learn to do something, you can see this by the many underground animalmen, if they start wrestling, they will become wrestlers.--Niggy 18:16, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

So at least, he doesn't drink any booze, as it seems. He doesn't do any tasks. In the unit-screen, he's still listed under the wild animals, and if I view him and his preferences, it's stated that "This animal can't work". --Doub 18:33, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Butchery of Tigermen[edit]

So I bought some Tigermen from the Elf merchant, and low and behold (before I finished reading the article) they were butchered just fine by my butcher. Seemed to provide 30 meat as well as other assorted butchery items. Also, the trash items (nervous system etc.) as well as the skull, leather and bones were listed as [name] instead of the generic tigerman.

Unfortunately these items are just sitting there in my Butcher's Shop, and are not being placed in their appropriate stockpiles (or being used for anything).
