In Dwarf Fortress, gender is what determines if two creatures can produce offspring.
Determining Gender
When viewing a unit, a symbol appears below its name:
| Gender | Symbol | Common names | Other uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Male | ♂ | Boar | Bags |
| Female | ♀ | Sow | Amulets |
Additionally, when viewing a unit from the u menu or with v-z, the creature will be referred to as "he" or "she".
Raws
In the raws, genders are defined in separate castes (not to be confused with casts). Castes are often just defined as "male" or "female", but there are a few notable exceptions.
