So I've read on the wiki that dwarven mothers can give birth to twins, or even triplets. I was just wondering if anyone has actually had this happen in one of their forts?

[Matoro]

Yeah, I've seen it happen a couple of times. Rare thing, but it happens.

[Talvieno]

I've had it happen. It's exceedingly rare, though. Quietust would probably know the exact values for it, but I don't.

[Crimson Catsup]

Thanks for the response guys! Its something I had been curious about for a while.

[Xazo-Tak]

It's because of the [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE] tag.
Wait...
HOLY CRAP GUYS
FEMALE DWARVES DON'T HAVE BEARDS

   [CASTE:FEMALE]
      The gender tag lets it know how breeding works.
      [FEMALE]
      [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE]
      To add beards, put square brackets around the following:
      BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:FACIAL_HAIR_TISSUE_LAYERS

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY HAD BEARDS
I'VE SEEN FANART OF THEM WITH BEARDS
QUICK, GO INTO YOUR RAWS, BRACKET THAT THING

I have never ever seen twins or triplets from a dwarf.. and armok knows i've had enough children (even too many)

I thought all babies had beards too! Or is it just the males?

[mastahcheese]

Just the males unless you mod it.

[Crimson Catsup]

I wonder, just how many people want their female dwarves to have beards? It seems that a fair amount of people like to mod it in.

[mastahcheese]

There was actually a thread a while back ago (may even still be active) where they had a poll that asked that.

To add onto OP's question:

So I've read on the wiki that dwarven mothers can give birth to twins, or even triplets. I was just wondering if anyone has actually had this happen in one of their forts?

Had anyone had this happen while the mother was in combat? And what were the roles of the babies? Shields? Bait? Decoys? Improvised weapons? Armor? Throwing weapons? Did the mother juggle the kids while in combat?

[mastahcheese]

I figured they'd tie them together by their beards and use them as nunchucks.

[Magistrum]

I figured they'd tie them together by their beards and use them as nunchucks.

That, my fellow chevalier, would be glorious!

[Quietust]

I've had it happen. It's exceedingly rare, though. Quietust would probably know the exact values for it, but I don't.

I only know the exact value used in version 0.23, and that value is 1/500. In all likelihood, though, it's still the same in version 0.34.11.
