| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Skin is a tissue layer common to most Template:Ls. Different types of creatures have different types of skin.'Normal' creatures(such as domestic creaturesCow,Dog,Cat,large above-ground creatures, etc, for instance) have the skin called 'Raw hide'. Insectoids, like Giant desert scorpion, have the skin called Chitin. Aquatic creatures and reptilians skins, such as Carp,or Dragons are called Scales. Some aquatic creatures may have the common 'Raw hide' skin(an example is the Whale).
Skin uses
Skins can be tanned. Tanning a skin wields 1 tanned hide. You can't tan 'Scales'. The process of tanning raw hides is done at the Tanner's Shop. It requires a dwarf with the Tanning labor enabled. Tanned hides are called 'Leather'(raw hide) or 'Treated Chitin'(Chitin).
Leather
Leather is used to make low-grade armor and clothing. Leather is also used to make some crafts(useful or not).. An example of an useful item created with leather is a Waterskin. Also you can make bags and other objects out of leather. The process of making and using leather is part of the Meat industry, rather than Clothing industry.
