As its name suggests, the '''giant crab''' is an especially large version of the [[crab]] and can be found on savage beaches.

{{D for Dwarf}}

As with most creatures, the best way to defeat the giant enemy crab is to attack its weak point for massive damage.

'''Giant lions''' are strong carnivorous animals found in savage tropical areas. They often appear in small hunting groups of 2 to 3 animals. Giant lions are much larger than many other "giant" creatures, growing to more than 8 times the size of a regular [[lion]], or slightly more than 1/3 the size of an [[elephant]]. Occasionally giant lions may appear as [[mount]]s during a [[siege]].

Giant lions can be captured and tamed by an [[animal trainer]]. Although they have a rather low pet value, their [[butcher]]ing products are 4 times as valuable as common animals. Once tamed, they may also be trained for hunting or war. Because of their value, size, and utility giant lions can prove quite useful to your fortress if you can secure a breeding pair.

Curiously, dwarves only [[preference|admire]] giant lions for their ''roars''.

'''Goats''' are small, [[milk]]-bearing herbivores. They should not be confused with the similarly named [[mountain goat]]. Their small stature means they will not yield much meat. They require as little [[pasture]] as [[sheep]] and are a good choice for starting a [[cheese]] industry.

The males are called "billy goats." The females are "nanny goats." The young are called "kids."

Glass

Nug: Undo revision 218327 by Nug (talk)

{{quality|fine}}{{av}}

Glass is produced at the [[glass furnace]] using [[fuel]] with either [[sand]] (green glass), sand and [[pearlash]] (clear glass), or [[rock crystal]] and pearlash (crystal glass). A [[magma glass furnace]] can also be used, in which case no fuel is required. Raw glass (of all three types) can also be acquired from some [[trading|trade]] caravans and be purchased in the [[embark]] screen. Note that raw glass can '''''not''''' be made into glass items (excluding [[strange mood]]s), but can only be [[gem cutting|cut]] into [[gem]]-like items which can be used for [[decoration|decorating]] items. You have to buy or collect [[sand]] to get the raw materials to make glass.

Glass value corresponds to the difficulty of its production, with green glass having the lowest material value (2), clear glass intermediate (5), and crystal glass the highest (10).

== Uses ==
Glass can be used for most things that can be produced at a [[mason's workshop]], (with the exception of slabs, querns and millstones). It can also produce goods normally made at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]] by a [[stone crafter]], with the exception of obsidian short swords and generic crafts. In addition, it may be made as raw glass, which can then be cut as a gem at a [[jeweler's workshop]] by a [[gem cutter]], in a similar fashion to cutting generic stones.

Raw glass, especially raw green glass, are excellent practice for aspiring jewelers (and their production provides experience for [[glassmaker]]s). The value of glass is on par with low to mid value gemstones, meaning that a source of sand on your map used in tandem with a [[magma glass furnace]] makes decoration with cut raw green glass an essentially free, and very lucrative, way to increase the value of your goods while training legendary glassmakers and jewelers- particularly when those goods are themselves made of glass.

Glass can also be made as [[block]]s which can be used to build [[workshop]]s and [[construction]]s. You can even make glass trap components. Unique goods made from glass include glass [[window]]s and [[flask|vial]]s, as well as [[Furniture#Furniture_types_with_multiple_names|renamed versions]] of common furniture.

Glass is [[magma]]-safe (with a melting point of {{ct|13600}}) and can be created in unlimited quantity on any map with sand soil tiles.

For more information on the use of glass, see the [[Glass industry]] page.

Raw and cut glass storage options can be found under the Gem [[stockpile]] sub-menu. Glass blocks are stored in Bar/Block stockpiles.

==Physical properties==
Through memory hacking, the material properties of each type of glass have been determined; for reference, they have been reconstructed below as material definitions:
