I pointed out the differences between real olms and the in-game giant ones, so people don't make the mistake of expecting them to be at all similar. I made that mistake, and didn't realize they had no trouble breathing or moving on land. Nor did I realize that they can see just fine and that their eyes are perfectly functional. If you don't feel that it's relevant information, you're free to remove it.

rider gains swim ability?[edit]
is this true? I've had a giant olm with a goblin rider who tried to swim down river, and the rider is now dead in the river.
- No, it's false - it gives them the ability to drown, not swim. --Quietust 18:57, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
- Gives them the ability to swim, the same way wings gave Icarus the ability to fly ;) --Djsmiley2k 13:47, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
Storage[edit]
Would a Giant Olm starve or die of dehydration in a room without food or water? Would the occasional goblin dropped in stave off starvation? Aussiemon 06:30, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure neither tamed nor untamed animals, of any kind, need food or water to survive. So no, the Giant Olm wouldn't die. Also: Animals currently can't eat other animals. --Tarran 11:25, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks! It (and my giant cave spider in a different pit) are just ignoring the naked battered goblins I drop in though, unfortunately. Aussiemon 21:07, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
