Giant penguins can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and, unlike every other kind of penguin in the game, they can be [[Animal trainer|trained]] into [[pet]]s, possessing the standard high value of a giant creature. Because they provide a respectable amount of [[food]] and [[bone]]s when [[butcher]]ed, the idea of breeding them for a [[meat industry]] is an attractive one, but they are very poor [[egg]]-layers - only laying 2 eggs at a time - and take two years to reach their adult size, meaning the player will require patience to get a functional giant penguin farm running smoothly. Granted, crazier things have been done before. | Giant penguins can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and, unlike every other kind of penguin in the game, they can be [[Animal trainer|trained]] into [[pet]]s, possessing the standard high value of a giant creature.

+ | In real life, a genus of extinct penguin named Palaeeudyptinae is sometimes known as the giant penguin. However, as the game's giant penguins are enlarged versions of Magellanic penguins, this is most likely a coincidence. | ||
Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] giant penguins for their ''enormous size'', their ''coloration'', their ''waddling gait'' and their ''way of flying through the water''. | Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] giant penguins for their ''enormous size'', their ''coloration'', their ''waddling gait'' and their ''way of flying through the water''. | ||
