[Veskulios]

I captured a named Cave Dragon from a Goblin siege. Is it possible to train him? How would I go about doing so? Is it worth it? I also have around another 5 cave dragons with him.

[matskuman5]

Training caged animals from sieges is currently bugged. Even when tamed they stay hostile to your dwarves

[Veskulios]

Oh all right .

[Knightl]

But and this is one big but, The cave dragons babies are trainable in the art of WAR!

Just be careful, Flame doesn't discriminate and if a dragon burns down your fort when trying to cook its lunch...well yeah.

[VerdantSF]

Cave dragons don't breathe fire .

[Veskulios]

If I drop these cave dragons in with a forgotten beast will they fight?

Debatable.  Knowing general overseer luck, they'll team up.

Cave dragons are valuable anyways, keep it as a pet!  Put it in a cage, put the cage in the dining hall, the creature's value adds to the cage's value, and thus to the room value.

[Veskulios]

Oh, I was just slaughtering them and turning them into yummy dragon biscuits.. I'll put one into the dining hall, thanks

Invaders will fight uninvited guests.

• Cave dragons don't have a [CHILD] tag.
• Cave dragons are egg layers, so even if they did have a [CHILD] tag, hostile CDs won't breed on your map.
• Can dwarves even train [EVIL] creatures?

[Akura]

Can dwarves even train [EVIL] creatures?

As long as they have the [TRAINABLE(_WAR/_HUNTING)] tags(which cave dragons do), yes. The [GOOD]/[EVIL] tags merely restrict its biome to good/evil respectively(this restriction is ignored for subterranean biomes).
