This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.

A huge beast in the form of a gila monster.

Giant gila monsters are over one hundred times larger than normal gila monsters and produce more food - sadly, not 100 times as much food. Gila monsters lie between a tiger and a lion in size, and are not aggressive, so can be hunted for food: they do have a mostly harmless bite however, causing mild pain and swelling. They only appear one a time, however, and so cannot easily be made into the founding members of an exotic egg farm. Some dwarves prefer them for their "venomous bite" and "coloration".

In Real Life[edit]

Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable.


Giant Gila Monsters were thought not to exist until a gripping film of an attack in the American midwest in 1959 revealed that they did exist and that they look an awful lot like regular Gila Monsters crawling on a model train set.

"The bad movie version was scarier."
