Purring maggots are a type of cavern-living vermin notable for being the only underground source of milk, known as dwarven milk. They can be obtained by trapping them with animal traps. They are hateable vermin and will inspire an unhappy thought in dwarves that detest them.
To obtain these maggots you will need to discover the 2nd/3rd cavern layer and empty animal traps, then construct [b]-[m] animal trap on cave moss in that cavern layer, use [q] to set meat/fish for bait, by higher quality trap the chances for being robbed instead catch will be reduced.
Some dwarves like purring maggots for their comforting whirs.
Bugs

Trivia

This article or section has been rated D for Dwarf. It may include witty humour, not-so-witty humour, bad humour, in-jokes, pop culture references, and references to the Bay12 forums. Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable. |
In the 28th episode of Dwarf Fortress Talk, it was revealed the sprite for dwarven cheese in the official Premium tileset was inspired by Casu Marzu, a Sardinian cheese containing live maggots, causing the sprite to have a two-frame animation. The idea was forwarded by Meph, who drew it. This in turn spawned a discussion as to where the maggots in the cheese came from, the milked maggot remaining. Do the maggots lay, or contain, smaller maggots? Do they form maggot-chains, or are they like Matryoshka dolls? Maybe the ”purring” of the purring maggot is a bunch of maggots inside the maggot, making a purring noise as they move around.
