'''Trapper''' is the skill associated with the '''trapping''' labor. Trappers are involved in trapping [[vermin]] through the use of [[animal trap|animal traps]].

To trap an animal, either {{k|q}}uery a [[kennel]] or [[Butcher's shop]] and {{k|a}}dd the {{k|a}} 'Capture a live land animal' task, or {{k|b}} - {{k|m}} build an animal trap, which must then be baited with meat or fish. Many vermin animals are tameable and can be [[animal training|tamed]] at the kennel.

Trappers will pursue and catch tame vermin that's outside of a container.

The trapper skill is also used in creating animal traps. Wooden traps are made at the [[carpenter's workshop]], while metal ones are constructed at a [[metalsmith's forge]], or a [[magma forge]].

Trappers can be used to control the vermin population and/or acquire fancy creatures to put in cages and place in your fortress. In the first function, they are easily outperformed by cats (although cats will create vermin remains that need a Refuse Hauling task), and the second is mainly attractive to boost dwarf mood if they encounter an animal they particularity like. Of course many vermin are hateable so it is questionable how effective this may be.  There are also a few vermin such as [[fire snake]]s that can be used to make extracts, but extracts currently have no use except as a trade good.  [[Creepy crawler]]s are the only vermin that can be [[butcher]]ed so trapping a lot of them can help train your butchers. As one of the Ranger professions, skilled trappers often have other, more useful skills such as marksdwarf or [[ambusher]].

Successfully completing the 'capture a live land animal' task fulfills a dwarf's 'do something exciting' [[need]]
