« on: June 27, 2017, 10:45:41 am »
So ive gotten quite a few of the large buggers and i can shear them as humans and dwarves, It says their scales are bronze grade armor. Do i need to do something further for it? Also id suggest they be put into kobolds pets :P

i usually bring a few drakes to my human fort as well, but they don't seem to shear.  i might have to recheck this...

the scales will shear and it works in the same way that leather does... the initial scales just get turned into leather nearly instantly at any tanner.  they can be made into higher grade scaleplate also.  Their is 2 kinds of drakes... drakes the lizard and drake a male duck...  the lizard is way more expensive in embark or at a trade depot.
