An animal trainer works at an [[Activity_zone#Animal_Training|animal training zone]], taming certain animals (with food), turning some [[tame animals]] into war or hunting animals and reinforcing tameness of animals captured in a [[Trap#Cage_Trap|cage trap]] and tamed later. |
− | + | ==Notes== | |
− | + | Animal tab ({{k|z}} - {{k|Enter}}) has a list of all animals that are tame (and belong to your civilization) or are caged and can be tamed. Each animal on the list can be assigned a trainer, who will then tame (if needed) the animal, increase its tameness (if not born from tamed animals) or train it for war or hunting (if selected for hunting or training). Not all animals can be trained for war or hunting. Taming or increasing tameness requires food (edible [[crop|plant]] for herbivores, [[meat]] for carnivores), which the trainer will bring to the animals. If a caged animal is fed a plant, [[seed]]s will stay in the cage, possibly making it unusable until all the seeds in it are [[Activity zone|dump]]ed. | |
− | + | Certain animals are trivial to tame ([[domestic animal]]s are well known by dwarven civilizations), some are rather easy to tame (animals from [[Cavern]]s aren't alien to dwarves). Other creatures will require more attention, at least until your fortress manages to get familiar with them. Which animals are known and how well can be checked in the second sub-tab in "Animals" tab. Badly trained animals can revert to a wild state, resulting in [[fun|dragons rampaging through the fortress]]. | |
