'''Statues''' are decorative buildings which can be built from the {{k|b}}uild menu under {{k|s}}tatue. They can be created from one [[stone]] at the [[mason's workshop]], 3 [[metal]] at a [[metalsmith's forge]], [[sand]] or [[rock crystal]]s at a [[glass furnace]], or [[clay]] at a [[kiln]].

Statues, like [[engraving]]s, depict people, places, things and events drawn from the game's generated history. Unlike engravings they do not display random geometric shapes, such as diamonds. Statues will often depict creatures that the artisan [[preferences|likes or loathes]], or other dwarves surrounded by the creatures they like or loathe.

Because of their high base [[value]], statues can be quite valuable when crafted from valuable [[material]]s, such as precious [[metal]]s, or when crafted by a highly [[skill]]ed dwarf.  This makes them a good choice for raising the value of a [[room]] to create a legendary dining room, for instance, or to meet [[noble]]s' requirements for rooms of a certain value.

You can create a [[sculpture garden]] from a statue's {{k|q}}uery menu. Dwarves with no job will spend time at a communal (non-assigned) statue garden appreciating the statues (which generates a happy [[thought]]). If the sculpture garden is private (assigned) then the owner will hang out there when there's no job to do. In addition to normal [[decoration]]s, a stone or ceramic statue can be glazed by a [[glazer]].

Be careful when placing statues, because dwarves cannot normally move into the tile they occupy. (This also prevents dwarves from smoothing or engraving the floor underneath a statue.) A poorly placed statue can potentially seal off parts of your fortress. One can place a statue instead of a wall on a built floor, which leads to another possible use of statues: you may build a statue on a tile you don't want your dwarves to stand at. That makes an intentional [[cave-in]] much safer to carry out. Statues do not impede the flow of liquids ([[water]], [[magma]]). Creatures can see past statues as they do not completely block line of sight.

During combat, [[dodging]] creatures can move into a statue tile. Dwarves will immediately step out of the statue tile once they recover their bearings. This detail can make statues useful in a [[danger room]], by providing more space for training dwarves to practice dodging without requiring massive numbers of [[spear|training spear]]s and [[mechanism]]s. Statues may also prove useful in archer emplacements to control where your dwarves normally stand, but still allow them a chance to dodge incoming fire.

[[Building destroyer]]s will topple statues (deconstructing them, but not destroying them). This can make statues a useful delaying tactic while your crack military dwarves are finally collecting the [[weapon|arms]] and [[armor]] assigned to them months ago. Note that creatures that topple statues located in [[temple]]s, in either [[fortress mode]] {{cite forum|160118/7144627}}{{cite reddit|8l8x7i}} or [[adventurer mode]], will be cursed (e.g. as a [[werebeast]] or [[vampire]]). In adventurer mode, this can be done by pressing {{k|u}}.

A killed [[iron man]] or [[bronze colossus]] will transform into a masterwork statue upon death (made of [[iron]] or [[bronze]] respectively). The image is randomly generated upon creation, so it probably won't be a statue depicting the actual creature.
