Domesticated Rutherers

Description
Domesticates rutherers so they can be embarked with, allows them to be sheared for wool, milked, trained for war, and changes their sprite to be chonkier.

There are also a variety of other changes made to make them better for fort defense, they grow to full size in three years (instead of five), they no longer meander and they are now large predators making them hostile to intruders. Do bear in mind however that these changes apply to all rutherers not just yours, so be wary if you find them in the caverns as they should no longer flee on sight.

Known bugs:
Their icon doesn't display properly on the embark screen, I don't know why but it works fine elsewhere so it doesn't really matter.

@Stormlord The fur works the same as the wool does from shearing other animals, you need to spin it into thread with the "Spin Thread" job at a Farmer's Workshop and then turn the thread into cloth at a loom, though that last step will happen automatically if you've got a loom constructed. It being labelled as refuse is how it's supposed to work as it can also be acquired from butchering and everything butcher-related is in the refuse section (except obviously meat).

Hi, Loving the mod!
One question though, the fur i shear seems to be labeled as refuse, is this correct?
How do I use the fur for industry?

I agree with the guy below. I also think some other creatures could probably get this treatment, too.

...you can domesticate rutherers already. you just have to do it in fortress mode. then creatures your civ has domesticated will be able to embarked with. this is already a vanilla feature.

...unless you mean that this mod sets them to domesticated by default, in which case i would recommend adding elkbirds and dralthas to this mod, since they are generally more commonly and easily domesticated and accessed by dwarven civs.
