Wikipedia article

This article is about an older version of DF.

Mules are sterile hybrids of a donkey father and a horse mother in reality. In Dwarf Fortress they are indeed sterile (and donkeys don't even exist in this version), so the only way to get them is from trade, reducing their usefulness to becoming a pet or a snack on the hoof. They are available for selection on the embark screen for most dwarven parties and cost 101 points.

You can also recieve a free mule as one of the two draft animals for your wagon, depending on what domesticated animals are used by your dwarven civilization. Due to their infertility, there is no practical reason to purchase a mule over any other animal or foodstock.

For reasons unknown, mules lack a [MAXAGE] and are biologically immortal as a result.
