A gigantic blue and orange bird.

Giant cave swallows are massive carnivorous birds which can be found in Template:L. Even a single giant cave swallow is a worthy opponent for any lone, untrained dwarf, and as such they are best left alone. Should you choose, however, they can be trained as hunting animals and are quite valuable (700) as pets.

They can be used as mounts by Template:L siegers.

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.

Giant cave swallows are best known for their ability to transport coconuts.
