How to put zombie dwarf in a cage

dwarf-fortress

An evil cloud had approached my fortress, and I think one of my dwarves got caught in it because he's now a zombie.

He eventually triggered one of my cage traps and now he's just sitting inside the trap in my animal stockpile.

I was thinking I'd memorialize him by putting him in a cage located in my tomb. So I built a cage (b->j), and I went to assign the dwarf to the cage. But his name is not listed in the assignments list.

How do I put him there?

On the spot you want the cage: choose build, then cage. It should give you a list of all the cages in your fort by material.

hit 'x' and it'll then show you every single cage, and what they contain. Look for something like 'Dwarf wooden Cage'.

Choose to build this cage, and it should be placed and built in the spot you've chosen.
