This article is about an older version of DF.
A large cavern-dwelling humanoid monster. It has a gaping mouth with many sharp teeth. It has no eyes and only two digits on each hand and foot.

Blind cave ogres are huge, violent humanoids found in deep caverns. They are highly aggressive and will gleefully destroy anything that isn't a wall or a fortification between them and your dwarves. Blind cave ogres will arrive at your fortress in groups of one to three mayhem-minded individuals, and despite being "blind" they have [EXTRAVISION] and thus are quite capable of sensing exactly where your doors are. Incredibly, they are able to swim.

You do not want to underestimate these monsters. They are nearly as big as giants, significantly larger than elephants, and can easily kill even the most seasoned of warrior dwarves in single combat. Engage them with traps, crossbows, and large numbers if possible. The blind cave ogre's propensity for destruction can be used against it. If you would like to capture one for use in a cunning plan, lay down some cage traps in a narrow passage guarding access to your main fortress and the ogres will soon be caught. In addition they have been known to equip weapons and armor from dead bodies. An ogre with weapons and armor is significantly more deadly than one without them.

Blind cave ogres cannot be tamed, and are intelligent enough that dwarves refuse to butcher them.

D4Dwarf.png This article or section has been rated D for Dwarf. It may include witty humour, not-so-witty humour, bad humour, in-jokes, pop culture references, and references to the Bay12 forums. Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable.


Blind cave ogres enjoy updating their fashion while brutally smashing their victims. They can grab your shattered dwarves weapons off of them, but more often then not they grab a fashionable glove or pair of trousers, then, with their new set of duds, start beating their victims ever more viciously. Sometimes these fashionable ogres will enjoy beating a crippled dwarf for months, leaving your other dwarves in peace. At least till their plaything dies.
