This article is about an older version of DF.
A creature from the evil swamp. It resembles a squat, wingless bird with powerful beak and legs. Its blotchy skin is brightly colored.

Beak dogs are a freakish species of gorilla-sized pack hunters found in evil swamplands. They appear in groups of three to seven and occupy the same ecological niche that wolves do in more normal surroundings. In the fortress-embarking flavor screen you are usually warned to strike the earth quickly "ere the wolves get hungry", but in the actual game wolves are too small to opportunistically attack dwarves, preferring to predate on smaller creatures instead. Beak dogs, by contrast, are not held back by such a deficiency: they are close to four times as large as a wolf (two and a half times the size of an average dwarf), and the [LARGE_PREDATOR] token in their raw files that they share with wolves means that they will snack on any dwarves that appear before them, given the chance.

Beak dogs are an evil creature with the [MOUNT] tag, and thus are a popular choice for mounts in goblin sieges: you may be visited by them even if your fort is not founded in a beak dog biome. Dwarves themselves cannot tame beak dogs, and so the only thing you can do with beak dogs (without modding) is kill and process them. As a nice perk, their parts are worth twice as much as boring dog parts. Toady One has said that they are based on a variety of sources: [1]
