'''Emus''' are [[Creature|birds]] who inhabit [[temperate]] [[shrubland]]s and [[forest]]s, appearing in groups of anywhere between 2-10 individuals. They are half the size of a [[human]] (a little over half the size of an adult [[dwarf]]) and are entirely benign, doing little but meandering about aimlessly. They'll normally flee if confronted in combat, but on rare occasions may attempt to defend themselves, primarily with kick attacks.

'''Emus''' will walk onto your fortress grounds in solitude and meander for no reason. They are half the size of a human, so they will  provide roughly around the same quantity of [[meat]] as a [[dog]]. They have a pleasant pet value and can be used as live [[trade good]]s, but the best use of them, that doesn't involve chopping them up, is putting them in the same pasture as your other [[egg]] laying animals and watch them do their stuff, if they are female. Bonus points if you snag a pair and instigate a birdsplosion.

Emus can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into exotic [[pet]]s. They produce a good quantity of returns when [[butcher]]ed and lay a fairly high amount of [[egg]]s if placed in a [[nest box]], opening the opportunity for an emu farm. Among the ratite birds in the game (emus, [[ostrich]]es and [[Cassowary|cassowaries]]), emus are the smallest and shortest-lived of the three.

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] emus for their ''size'' and their ''inquisitive nature''.

Emus are fairly common in Adventure Mode. They appear in flocks of 1-6 or so and run away when threatened. They are poor fighters but large and are thus a good source of food.

One human kingdom is historically famed for losing a bloody war against emus, despite having the reputation of wrestling [[saltwater crocodile]]s into the ground and killing [[dingo]]es with their bare hands. They handled the loss fairly well, however, considering they love to joke about it to their dwarf friends. Another proof that humans are much better than those damned elves.
