v0.31 Talk:Elk bird

They die easily to a moderately equipped and trained squad of dorfs. Removed this from main page, for vagueness beyond usefulness. If something more specific were available, that would be of value.--Albedo 21:32, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Anyone aware of whether they trigger traps? They walk on two legs, but they *are* birds, and logic has no place in dwarfort. Rodya mirov

elk birds lack the [TRAPAVOID] tag and should be affected by traps Cpad 06:46, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Confirmed, I saw an Elk Bird die to a stone fall trap today.--Scrotch 23:43, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

I had a bit of fun today when I received a bunch of cancellation orders from my dwarves. I paused immediately and looked for the Elk Bird on the map, because I had never heard of it before, only to find that my minerdwarf had somehow crossed the river and climbed to the top of the cave peak on the opposite end of the map in the few seconds it took me to pause after seeing the cancellations, right into the hungry maw of an elk bird. It was the only Elk Bird on my map, and my miner was designated no-where near that part of the map. I'm assuming here that Elk Birds can pick up dwarves and take them back to their nest because of it. ReducedToRubble 18:05 April 17 2010

Butchering results: 16 meat, 1 brain, 2 lungs, 1 sweetbread, 23 bones, 1 skull, 2 horns, 1 nervous tissue, 10 fat, 1 skin, 1 kidney, 1 liver, 1 spleen, 1 tripe, 1 intestines, 1 heart, 1 feather. Can someone edit these into the Elk Bird butchering results, and fix it so that the items that are missing are added? It looks as if it isn't possible to add the butchering results from the normal edit page. ReducedToRubble 8:57 April 18, 2010

Guys, there is no [FLIER] tag in the Elk Bird raw. Is the flier tag still required to get flying creatures? Cause if it is, then the Elk bird is a flightless creature, which is still pretty awesome considering its bigger than a dwarf. -Coaldiamond

A flightless bird that can swoop out of the air? --81.20.178.133 16:35, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Maybe that was simply the Chuck Norris of the elk birds. --Bronzebeard 00:37, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
