![]() Products made from cave crocodile parts are worth 4 times more than those of common animals. They can be trained into valuable pets and either butchered for a great amount of returns or kept as livestock. They can also be used as mounts by goblins during sieges, and they will gleefully swim over any water moat you are using as a defense - whether their riders survive the trek is another story.Ĭave crocodiles can be captured in cages rather easily, as furniture for them to topple can be used as bait. Cave crocodile hatchlings reach their full size in 2 years, but don't reach adulthood (for breeding purposes) until the end of their 3rd year.īecause of their size (10 times larger than a dwarf) and hostile behavior, cave crocodiles should be engaged with well-equipped military squads or traps. The largest creatures inhabiting the first cavern level, they'll spawn individually out of the edges of the water and seek for dwarves to attack and wooden buildings to wreck - they are building destroyers and will topple furniture they come across. It lives in caves and ambushes its prey.Ĭave crocodiles are massive, subterranean, reptilian predators which can be found in the first two layers of the caverns - the bane of fisherdwarves and fledgling fortresses who breach the underground too early. Some dwarves like crundles for their nervous energy.A huge, predatory reptile with pale, colorless scales and red eyes. Unlike most creatures, they can't be spawned in the object testing arena. Overall, crundles are poor choices for training (but provide good experience for your animal trainers since they need frequent retraining) when there are many more interesting creatures in the caverns. Trained crundles can be used in fortress defense designs, but they should only be used as meatshields and/or distractions because they are very poor fighters. As they are born as adults, they can never be domesticated. They can also be bred for meat, although there are better animals around since crundles do not provide leather. They can be caught in cage traps, and weapon traps with basic weapons are generally enough to severely injure or kill them.Ĭrundles can be trained, and are rather prolific egg-layers, making them viable for egg production. They require a long fall to be killed on impact, unless, of course, the ground is flooded with poison, spikes, or best of all, magma. If you rely on traps to defend your fortress, it should be noted that pit traps are fairly ineffective against crundles. Basically, they are like the flightless birds of the caverns. If you are immune to exhaustion, have copper armor and can somehow grab several of them, you can very quickly increase your various combat attributes, more importantly dodging and shield skill, by letting them attack you if you cannot access the surface due to the site isolating itself from it. ![]() Thanks to their numbers, wild crundles can be useful for training your military.Ĭrundles seem to have a chance to spawn inside procedural fortresses in adventure mode. ![]() They are still annoying, because they will often interrupt your dwarves who perform useful jobs down in the caverns. They can, however, maim or even kill an unarmed dwarf on a lucky hit, but are generally the least dangerous of all underground creatures. They tend to be rather weak and cowardly, even in packs, and are not especially aggressive. All crundles are born adults and possess Legendary skill in climbing. They tend to arrive at a fort in large groups (15 to 20 of them at once) and are very common, probably more common than any other type of underground wildlife, except possibly elk birds. The crundle is a small, imp-like, reptilian creature that roams the caverns in great packs under the earth. It walks on two legs and is dangerous when encountered in large numbers. A tiny underground monster with large claws and horns. ![]()
