Butcher's shop

Butchers do the dirty job of processing animal corpses and body parts for meat, fat, skin, bones, and a skull at the butcher's shop. With higher skill butchers will process corpses (from hunted animals) faster.

Creatures with the [BUTCHERABLE_NONSTANDARD] flag must be tamed and then designated for slaughter at the stocks screen in order to be butchered.

Creatures with the [NOT_BUTCHERABLE] flag cannot be butchered by any means. This flag is set for most (if not all) humanoids and some other creatures.

See an individual creature's data file to check if either flag is present.
