These carnivorous beasts, nearly the size of an [[elephant]], prowl the underground while terrorizing anything that approaches them, these usually being hapless [[Dwarf|dwarves]] who just happened to take the wrong turn on their hauling job. The typical result of a civilian stumbling into a jabberer is a new body to the fortress' cemetery. |

When facing jabberers, a powerful [[military]] is essential, though they are also equally vulnerable to [[cage]] [[trap]]s. The creatures are also an uncommon sight in [[goblin]] [[siege]]s, where they are used by the enemy as [[mount]]s. |
− | Jabberers possess a pet value of 1,500 | + | Jabberers possess a pet value of 1,500, one of the highest in the game, and the great amount of returns they give when [[butcher]]ed means players should consider them more valuable alive than dead. Should a jabberer couple be captured and assigned to a [[nest box]], they can be used to steadily provide the fortress with a force of giant, bloodthirsty and delicious bodyguards. Jabberers can be [[Animal trainer|trained]] not just as [[pet]]s but also as war and hunting beasts, and products made from their parts are [[Item value|worth]] four times as much as those made from common animals. |
Unlike most animals, jabberers can't be spawned in the [[object testing arena]]. | Unlike most animals, jabberers can't be spawned in the [[object testing arena]]. |
