Dragons can be captured in cage traps and tamed if you're lucky enough to catch one. Currently, knowledge of animal behaviour is based on the civilization level and depends partly on the animals available for contact in a given civilization site.

You may have to watch out, though, as even a relatively tame dragon can seriously damage a fortress with one blast of ill-timed dragonfire. See [[fire]] for details. |
Dragons do not have a {{token|CHILD|c}} tag, and therefore their eggs do not hatch in fortress mode. | Dragons do not have a {{token|CHILD|c}} tag, and therefore their eggs do not hatch in fortress mode. |
