Dwarves best friend. Dogs are the only animals that can be trained to assist your dwarves as war dogs and hunting dogs in combat and hunting, respectively. Like all tame animals they can serve as an emergency food supply and provide you with bones, leather, and skulls for trading goods.

Using dogs

  • Dogs left to their own devices will wander around, spending most of their time in meeting areas, and will attack any hostiles they see. Sometimes they will adopt a dwarf as an owner and thereafter be treated as that dwarf's pet.

  • You can assign a dog to a dwarf via his dogs menu ( v , select dwarf, p , e ) to help him in combat. It will follow the dwarf like a pet.
    • Note: Once a dog is assigned to a dwarf it can not be unassigned or placed in a cage any morev0.27.173.38a.
