| − | '''Learning''' [[creature]]s (those with the [[creature token#C|CAN_LEARN creature tag]]) may increase their [[skill]]s through practice and use; conversely, creatures that cannot learn will never experience a skill increase. [CAN_LEARN] | + | '''Learning''' [[creature]]s (those with the [[creature token#C|CAN_LEARN creature tag]]) may increase their [[skill]]s through practice and use; conversely, creatures that cannot learn will never experience a skill increase. [CAN_LEARN] is implied by [INTELLIGENT], [SLOW_LEARNER], and [[Clown|[(spoilers)]]]. Creatures with [CAN_LEARN] will improve their social skills when standing near other members of their own species, but not when standing near [CAN_LEARN] members of other species. |

| − | Creatures | + | Creatures with both [CAN_LEARN] and [CAN_SPEAK] (or alternatively, [INTELLIGENT]) are considered intelligent for the purpose of assigning [[ethics]]. In general, your dwarves will refuse to [[butcher]] the remains of any intelligent creature, though they can be assigned to slaughter a tame intelligent creature. The butchered remains will not be consumed, and can be assigned a casket. However, the eggs, milk and cheese of intelligent creatures can be eaten as normal. |
While enemy or unaffiliated intelligent creatures have no needs, tame intelligent creatures need to eat and drink, and are unable to drink [[booze]] or use [[Well|wells]] or [[Flask|flasks]]. If they have tags for dietary requirements, such as [[Grazer|[GRAZER]]], [BONECARN], [CARNIVORE], [HUNTS_VERMIN], or [DIVE_HUNTS_VERMIN], they will not eat any food which does not satisfy these requirements. | While enemy or unaffiliated intelligent creatures have no needs, tame intelligent creatures need to eat and drink, and are unable to drink [[booze]] or use [[Well|wells]] or [[Flask|flasks]].

Tame intelligent creatures with the [BABY] tag which give live birth will hold on to their offspring until the baby grows into a child; but egg-layers will not nurse their hatchlings. Since intelligent creatures require food and drink, and babies cannot see to their own needs, [BABY] tags are not recommended for intelligent egg-layers. | Tame intelligent creatures with the [BABY] tag which give live birth will hold on to their offspring until the baby grows into a child; but egg-layers will not nurse their hatchlings.
