[[File:Rutherer.png|thumb|left|Admired for its enormous tail.]]

'''Rutherers''' are very large creatures who reside underground in caverns. The value of their body parts is multiplied by three, placing them between wolves and [[cave crocodile]]s in that respect. Their size, however, coupled with the fact that they can appear in groups of two to three makes them a real danger to even experienced adventurers. Knocking you to the ground with charges and then severely wounding you in some lasting way is common.

They are exotic pets. Rutherers can also be tamed by [[goblin]]s and [[Dwarf|dwarves]] in world-gen, resulting in rutherers accompanying goblins on [[siege]]s as mounts and being used in worldgen battles by both civilizations.

They are not aggressive unless you attack them or they are accompanying [[goblin]]s during a [[siege]] or similar.

Due to the fact that they can give birth to triplets and their high meat returns and bone value, Rutherers are a good creature to domesticate and breed if you can tame two of different genders.
