Note that some content may still need to be updated.

A small bird of prey that is capable of great speed. They dive on unsuspecting vermin.

Peregrine falcons can be found in almost every biome, excluding oceans, glaciers, and tropical rain forests. They take great delight in killing as many vermin as they can; it would be wise to order your dwarves not to collect outside vermin, unless you don't mind your refuse stockpiles being filled with remains. While females are simply referred to as peregrine falcons, males are known as tiercel peregrines. While they are the fastest birds in real life, reaching dive speeds of 200+ mph (320 km/h), Dwarf Fortress does not handle gaits faster than 87 km/h, instead using this maximum speed.

Use

Once tamed and domesticated, peregrine falcons make for a great cat replacement. They hunt vermin, fly, don't adopt owners and their births are easier to manage through eggs and nest boxes. As a bonus, the eggs can be cooked and consumed by dwarves. It should be noted, though, that peregrine falcons won't attack any creatures larger than vermin.

Admired for their ability to dive through the air.
