A tiny, blood-sucking bug found in wooded areas.

For the time unit, see Time

Ticks, while still hateable, do not currently suck blood. This is fortunate, since dwarves with a severe lack of blood have a tendency to cause unhappy thoughts in their friends. Of course, depending on your circumstances, this could also prevent proper disposal of unwanted citizens.
