War animal
v50.14 · v0.47.05 This article is about the current version of DF.Note that some content may still need to be updated. |
For information on the selection and training of war animals, see animal trainer.
Animals with the TRAINABLE or TRAINABLE_WAR creature token can be trained for use in war by an animal trainer. Trained war animals are capable of causing greater damage in combat (needs confirmation) and can be assigned to follow specific dwarves.
Trained animals become a permanent "trained war" profession that has a higher aggression level than the base animal. Training an animal does not present any visible changes to physical attributes (strength, agility, toughness, etc...) in dwarf therapist. It does not inhibit labors on trainable creatures that perform them (such as war-trainable modded gremlins) like an actual military profession does. However, it prevents squad orders from being adequately carried out by intelligent creatures that are trained for war because it prevents the creature from changing to the military profession.
