Can someone put a list of all the vermin, and their uses if caught? And a picture? --DDouble 21:55, 11 November 2007 (EST)

What would be the use of the picture? --Eagle of Fire 00:24, 12 November 2007 (EST)
Just to clarify in case the first poster didn't know, vermin all use the same image. --Shades 09:13, 12 November 2007 (EST)
Not quite. Lungfish vermin, for instance, use a fish-like symbol, worms use a tilde, etc. However, most do use the simple "large dot" graphic. --JT 16:30, 18 November 2007 (EST)
I just listed them all, with most pertinent information. Hope you like. Now someone should go list all the extracts. --Turgid Bolk 02:08, 26 November 2007 (EST)

un tameable vermin

Fire snakes when caught in an animal trap had a value of 1. I was unable to tame them and the announcement "needs tameable small creature item" appeared. --Kingzilla 14:18, 23 January 2008 (EST)

Creating vermin habitat

I know you can make vermin show up to your base (try a tundra biome with an aquifer - if the stuff belowground stays liquid you can have toads hopping around in the snow :S. Also, I dug out some open cliffside dwellings in a random jungle map, and 5 min later about 50 or so bats turn up singing Meatloaf, and causing miasma hell for my dwarves after they were (mostly) dispatched by my two cats :(. Can anyone else replicate these (or other) situations to confirm my hypothesis? --Frostedfire 04:21, 19 February 2008 (EST)

Apparently vermin (and everything else?) spawn by biome. So, if you dig into a cave biome, you'll get bats. I dug next to a chasm and suddenly cave spiders spawn in my tunnel. Anydwarf 22:37, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

Tameable?

There should be a list of -- or mark on -- tameable vermin.

At the very least, there should be a mention that only some can be tamed.

Currently, I know rats can be tamed, while fire snakes and two-legged rhino lizards cannot.

I have a tame fire snake. I'm pretty sure all non-fish vermin creatures are tameable. Bouchart 19:36, 5 March 2008 (EST)

fire snakes and rhino lizards can be tamed, they are just [PET_EXOTIC]. not all non-fish vermin can be tamed(flies cant for example), and some fish vermin can be(turtles). -Chariot 20:22, 5 March 2008 (EST)

Is there a way to get my dwarves to stop eating the fluffy wamblers before I can tame them? Apparently they taste like meat and saltwater taffy had a baby. Or something. (Maybe I just have to be pretty quick on handing my DM the task) Anydwarf 22:37, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
