Ivory is a resource used to create or decorate crafts at the craftsdwarf's workshop. The exact material category when crafting is "ivory/tooth", signifying that specific kinds of teeth (the tusks of large animals) are needed for the job.

Tusks are obtained from butchering or slaughtering certain animals at the butcher's shop: elephants, gorlaks, narwhals, walruses, warthogs, and wild boars. Trolls also have tusks, but dwarves will not butcher them.

Combat may knock teeth loose from the mouths of dwarves, animals and invaders. Such knocked-out teeth are not usable for crafting. As a rule, if the creature does not drop teeth or ivory when butchered, its teeth are not craft-worthy.

Goblins will often wear jewelry made of troll ivory.
