The '''Capybara''' and its [[Giant capybara|derivatives]] are among the very few animals in the game which you can hear at a distance in Adventure mode. The only other species known to issue sounds is the [[kakapo]]. Capybara sounds will be described as whistling or barking. The possible announcements are as follows:
 
−
* "You hear whistling."
 
−
* "You hear deep whistling."
 
−
* "You hear barking."

If tamed in Fortress Mode, capybaras require a [[pasture]]. They are amphibious, being able to swim even from birth. They make moderate-value [[pet]]s, and produce respectable [[butcher]]ing returns, though other non-grazing species require less space and management.

A medium-sized semi-aquatic rodent. It lives in large herds and barks when alarmed.

Capybaras are amphibious creatures who can be found in wetlands, appearing in groups of anywhere between 5 to 10 individuals. Smaller than dwarves, they aren't entirely benign but will rarely pose a threat to civilians, preferring to avoid confrontation if possible. They hold the distinction of being one of the few creatures who emit sounds in adventurer mode (alongside the kakapo), with the game describing their whistling, barks, clicks, grunts and purrs as you approach them. A newborn capybara is called a pup.

Capybaras can be captured in cage traps and trained into exotic pets. Given their large cluster numbers, capturing a large number of them is relatively easy, and they provide a good amount of returns when butchered, making them acceptable targets for a meat industry. Products made from capybara parts are worth twice more than those made out of common domestic animals.

Some dwarves like capybaras for their enormous rodentness, their graceful swimming, or their resonant barking.
