40d Talk:Troglodyte

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

It seems to me that the troglodytes are programmed to attack and chase civilians, but run away from military dwarfs. Can anyone confirm? Tallyho 09:03, 5 May 2008 (EDT)

Maybe they've got some kind of 'COWARDICE' flag set or something.
Speaking of which, what ARE these things? They sound like little tiny 'cavemen'/underdeveloped humans. ~ Midna 03:31, 5 December 2008 (EST)
Back in D&D, they were roughly human-sized or higher lizard creatures [1]. One of the few creatures to get an official rubber figurine back in the 1E days. -Fuzzy 09:12, 5 December 2008 (EST)

I always thought of it as a caveman - i.e. just an ordinary caveman like in the far side, since that's what the word traditionally means - didn't know about the D&D version. Random832 09:16, 5 December 2008 (EST)

You're all right. Troglodytes are (usually smelly) cave-dwelling sub-humans everywhere except D&D. D&D defined them as subterranean lizard-people with a stink power. Bitbender 18:36, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
