A '''giant olm''' (not to be confused with the [[Olm man]]) is obviously a very large version of a regular [[olm]]. They are amphibious predators, which appear near [[Caverns|subterranean]] [[water]]. Aside from being bigger and meaner, they're essentially the same as regular olm. They can dive, and breathe underwater with their gills. While real olms do have eyes, they are supposed to be heavily underdeveloped leaving them essentially blind, but there is nothing in the raws to make the in-game olms hunt through scent or sound, so their eyes work fine and they can be blinded. Real olms spend their entire lives underwater, but the in-game giant variety have absolutely no trouble crawling (snaking?) their way onto land and into your fortress, causing havoc and unexpected <s>death</s> [[fun]].

'''Giant olms''' are much larger cousins of the common [[olm]] who can be commonly found at the first and second layers of the [[caverns]], where they prowl one at a time. These [[creature]]s are over three times heavier than [[Dwarf|dwarves]] and are one of the biggest banes of your [[Fisherdwarf|fisherdwarves]], emerging from the [[water]] and attacking anything smaller than themselves. Giant olms are aggressive and may deal great damage, if not outright kill unarmed civilians, and if they attack near the edge of the water, expect your dwarves to stupidly dodge into it and drown to death. They may also be seen being [[Mount|ridden]] by [[goblin]]s during [[siege]]s, where they will gleefully swim over any [[moat]] you are using as a defense - whether their riders survive the trek is another story.

A giant amphibian predator found underground near water.

Giant olms are much larger cousins of the common olm who can be commonly found at the first and second layers of the caverns, where they prowl one at a time. These creatures are over three times heavier than dwarves and are one of the biggest banes of your fisherdwarves, emerging from the water and attacking anything smaller than themselves. Giant olms are aggressive and may deal great damage, if not outright kill unarmed civilians, and if they attack near the edge of the water, expect your dwarves to stupidly dodge into it and drown to death. They may also be seen being ridden by goblins during sieges, where they will gleefully swim over any moat you are using as a defense - whether their riders survive the trek is another story.

Giant olms are Level 1 building destroyers and will trample furniture in their path, including doors. Because they seek buildings to destroy, they can be easily lured into traps. If captured in cages, they can either be butchered for a good amount of returns or trained into valuable pets. Products made from giant olms are worth 4 times more than those made from common domestic animals.

Some dwarves like giant olms for their gills.
