Make a trade depo right outside your main entrance. Chain the eagle to the top of said entrance, and then negotiate with the elves as they have to watch a gigantic flying skelleton thrash at them throught the entire trade, only saved from being torn apart by your chains. Although, they might try to attack it, so consider caging it instead.
I actually set an animal stockpile next to my trade depot room just out of necessity. I can just imagine the Humans as they walk down my main hall, see the Eagle in a cage, and then begin trading.
Unnerving to say the least.
I would just put it in a zoo.
You're not thinking like a
TRUE DORF.
I'll test it tomorrow. If it's the same as in 40d, tame creatures should still building destroy, and I have a giant scorpion from the elves in a cage.
I'm also interested. I'd love to add [PET] and [TRAIN] to these things and make some War Skeletal Giant Eagles, but it'd be too much Fun to have them destroy everything in the fort.
I know that animals, even tamed, will be hostile if they tasted Dwarven blood. One of my eagles killed 2 war dogs. Would that make it hostile to dogs even if it's tamed, or is this just a dwarf only thing?
This reminds me of an artifact in my fort, a magnetite amulet that shows a picture of a human surrounding my Eagles, relating to him taming eagles of suchandsuch mountain. I take that as a good omen. Anything humans can do, Dwarves can do better! Let's have some Undead Pets!
