They are quite nonthreatening, although you may want to [[armor]] your dwarves first to attack them safely. They may appear as [[mount]]s during a [[siege]], though it's difficult to take an invader seriously when mounted upon a giant slug. |
Giant slugs are largely harmless in combat. The head of a giant slug appears to not have any bone inside it, consisting of only fat, muscle, and a brain, along with its eyestalks. Therefore, a hit to the head is usually always lethal. Conversely, it can take a long time (and a lot of bolts) for a marksdwarf to take down a slug, as most of the bolts will hit the body of the slug, and do next to no damage (the body is almost exclusively muscle and fat). Giant slugs can also drown, and expire from old age after a single year. | Giant slugs are largely harmless in combat.
