[They Got Leader]

Title asks it: I have a male and a female, both tame. They are "exotic" and lay eggs. Do I need anything special to get them to lay eggs?

[Sus]

I'd assume the female needs a nest box to lay eggs, like any egg-laying animal. Seeing as they have the [CHILD] tag in their raws, I figure the eggs should even hatch if you prevent the dorfs from collecting them. [verify]

I'm in the process of verifying. I built a nest box and the Giant Echidna took it right off the bat. The clutch size is 1, so the process of growing a population of GE's will take a while.

Speaking of which, do you know how they fair in battle?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Better than kobolds but worse than real soldiers. No armor or armor-piercing ability.

[Reese]

Get some giant hedgehogs too, and pit them against each other in an arena.

[Joben]

They're about the same size as lions. So roughly the same fighting ability theoretically.  But they're not predators, and I think they curl into a ball when threatened.

[Adequate Swimmer]

They're also capable of extreme speeds, esp. when following a trail of gold coins or if launched using a giant spring. Whenever they kill something, an adorable chick or squirrel comes out of its remains.

Some times a Bunny or penguin, too

Alright, so I need to forge some gold coins. Awesome.

I don't know where Adequate Swimmer gets his info, but it should be gold rings, not gold coins.  Gold coins just promote the growth of sentient mushrooms

I love Bay 12.

[Adequate Swimmer]

The fact there really is a mod with sentient mushrooms makes it even better.

Plump helmet men are in vanilla DF.

Isn't there a mod someone made where you can brwe/make plump helmet men? Or that they were pets or something?
