This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.
A small wolf-like scavenger. Normally found in pairs, jackals can form packs when they find a body.

Jackals are very rare animals found in a number of tropical biomes, where they appear in groups of anywhere between 1-5 individuals. While carnivorous, jackals are half the weight of the average dog and should only be a threat to your smallest domestic animals. They possess thick fur which provides them with increased insulation compared to most other animals. A newborn jackal is called a pup.

Jackals can be captured in cage traps and trained into low-value exotic pets. Their small size means they provide little returns when butchered, which combined with their rarity makes them poor targets for a meat industry. However, products made from jackal parts are worth twice more than those made from common animals.

Some dwarves like jackals for their resourceful nature.

Some jackals have been seen standing on their hind legs and wielding *Ademantine* shields. Unfortunately, the only way to kill said jackals, is by shooting their hands with a very "futuristic" crossbow.
