'''Dingoes''' are [[Creature|animals]] found in non-freezing [[biome]]s, uncommonly appearing in packs of 3-12 individuals. Meandering predators, slightly smaller than a common [[dog]], they may attack your livestock, as well as your [[Dwarf|dwarves]], but are unlikely to kill civilians unless they're alone. They are considerably more common in [[adventurer mode]], however, acting as a more numerous and annoying version of [[Wolf|wolves]]. They possess thick fur which provides them with increased insulation compared to most other animals, and their newborns are referred to as ''pups''.

'''Dingoes''' are smaller than regular wild dogs, found in packs in non-freezing [[biome]]s. Although their description would imply otherwise, dingoes are not any more prone to attacking [[livestock]] than any other natural predator. They are large predators though, and will attack dwarves. Dingoes can be [[ambusher|hunted]] and then butchered at a [[butcher's shop]] for mid-value meat.
  
Dingoes can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into exotic [[pet]]s. They give equivalent returns to dogs when [[butcher]]ed, and products made from their parts are worth [[Multiply value|twice]] more than those made with more common animal parts.
+
They also are just as annoying as [[wolf|wolves]] in adventure mode, and even more common, although smaller and maybe less dangerous.
  
Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] dingoes for their ''coloration''.

It should be noted that Dingoes are known for their tendencies to steal dwarven children, especially babies. Their notoriety for baby snatching is second only to that of the [[Thief|Goblin Snatcher]].

It is rumored by some dwarves that after successfully stealing a child, the dingo will raise them as its own children, and when they grow adolescent - you get a [[Dingo man]].

The wildly popular Dwarf "Jurist Olivine" has, in his book series Next Week Right Now, popularized the notion that you should never call a Dingo to look after your baby. The Dingo has big conflicts of interests.
