A nail

"Nail" in other Languages Story tell indicator.png
Dwarven: um
Elven: thèdi
Goblin: olnge
Human: nato

Nails, claws and talons are a product of some animals when butchered. They are stored in a stockpile that accepts body parts, and have no known use.

Civilized creatures may occasionally wear jewelry made out of nails, despite it being uncraftable in fortress mode.

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.


Should not be confused with hardware nails, which currently do not exist in the game. All wooden buildings can be constructed with wood alone. These are fingernails or toenails. Thus, your dwarves will only use their hammers for pounding the latter type of nail. Hopefully not their own thumbs (ouch!).
