The sperm whale is the largest "normal" creature in the game, as in one that you actually see in the real world, and produces A LOT of products when butchered. It can be captured with a fish-catching chamber and then air-drowned; out of the water a sperm whale will turn into a corpse relatively quickly. The products of an average sperm whale can feed an entire fortress of dwarves (all 200 of them) for just over a year, making it an enormous boon if you manage to catch one, providing an enormous food surplus and months of work for your bone carvers. Occasionally sperm whales will beach themselves on the shoreline, leaving a corpse ready for butchering by lucky dwarves.


Admired for their vengeful nature and teeth.
