− | + | The '''crundle''' is a small, imp-like creature that roams the caverns in great packs under the earth. They tend to arrive at a fort in large groups and are very common, probably more common than any other type of underground wildlife except possibly [[Elk Bird]]s. | |
− | + | They tend to be rather weak and cowardly even in packs, and are not especially aggressive. They CAN however maim or even kill an unarmed dwarf on a lucky hit, but are generally the least dangerous of all underground creatures. They are still annoying because they will often interrupt your dwarves who perform useful jobs down in the caverns. Thanks to their numbers wild crundles can be useful for training your military. | |

They require a long fall to be killed on impact | + | If you rely on traps to defend your fortress, it should be noted that [[trap design|pit traps]] are fairly ineffective against crundles. They require a long fall to be killed on impact. Unless, of course, the ground is flooded with [[syndrome|poison]], [[Trap#Upright_Spear.2FSpike|spikes]], or best of all, [[magma]]. They can be caught in [[cage trap]]s and [[weapon trap]]s with basic weapons are generally enough to severely injure or kill them. |
− | Crundles can be | + | Crundles can be tamed, and are rather prolific egg-layers. They can also be bred for meat, although there are better animals around since crundles do not provide [[leather]]. Tame crundles can also be used in fortress defense designs, but they should only be used as meatshields and/or distractions because they are very poor fighters. Overall they are poor choices for taming (but make for good training for your [[animal trainer]]s) when there are [[giant cave spider|many]] [[cave crocodile|more]] [[jabberer|interesting]] [[rutherer|creatures]] to tame in the caverns. |
