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

Tigermen (half man, half tiger) are the anthropomorphic (or human-like) relatives of tigers, often inhabiting tropical forests and coastal/wetland areas. They are large, predatory carnivores that can present a significant threat to an unarmed dwarf.

Some dwarves prefer tigermen for their stripes, of course.

Tamed tigermen

In previous versions, Elven merchants used to sometimes bring tamed (enslaved?) Tigermen to trade. As they could not work, they had plenty of time to improve their social skills and could even become the mayor of a fortress. This was due to the combination of the Tigerman's [PET] and [CAN_LEARN] tags; however, since the first one was removed in version 40.05, this no longer happens.

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


Tigermen prefer to consume meals made from flour, Dwarven sugar and milk when possible. Particularly tough, agile and strong tigermen may become brokers for this food combination, urging caravans arriving to your fortress to purchase it while profusely claiming it is great.
