− | Animal people are | + | '''Animal people''' are indigenous tribes of half-man, half-beast [[creature]]s with various animal-like traits (such as [[flying]], [[steals items|thievery]], and [[syndrome|poisons]]), inherited from their base animal. The original animal people were based on creatures classes, while more recently discovered animal people are based on variations of species instead. They may appear either wandering above ground in [[savage]] environments or in the [[cavern]]s; these two populations form distinct groups. Animal people generally have significantly longer [[age|lifespans]] than their base animals, as well as the ability to [[learns|learn]]. |
− | + | Subterranean animal people are a [[civilization]] of sorts, rarely encountered when exploring the caverns. They are often equipped with primitive weaponry such as [[wood]]en [[spear]]s and [[blowgun]]s (they are also the only known source of [[blowdart]]s, which they will not willingly relinquish). They are not interested in formal negotiations with [[dwarves]] and will be treated as hostiles, who will attack you on sight. Animal people are not [[trapavoid]] and will often blunder into your cage traps, serving as live bait for [[giant cave spider|larger game]] and [[forgotten beast|uninvited guests]]. Tribes of animal people will not appear as neighbors in the embark screen, nor will they be included in the civilization list when encountered. | |

− | |||
− | + | == History == | |
+ | Present from the very first release of the game, in the early two-dimensional releases animal people did not exist as a class but were instead part of a small group of subterranean creatures (so called "river monsters") that would emerge from the [[23a:Cave river|cave river]] to harass your dwarves (the frogman, now [[amphibian man]]; the lizardman, now [[reptile man]]; and the snakeman, now [[serpent man]]). With the release of 40d and three dimensions these creatures had their properties and names redefined and were moved to flock near [[40d:underground river|underground river]]s and [[40d:Underground pool|pools]]. | ||
− | + | In the v0.31 release these underground water features were expanded into the current-version [[cavern]]s, and the original animal people were renamed to their current forms and moved there. Their behavior was redefined as well to make them more interesting, as they would now linger around "camps" and use poison-tipped weapons. v0.31 also introduced a small number of other underground creatures, these named after and based on specific animals: the [[antman]], [[bat man]], [[cave fish man]], [[cave swallow man]], [[olm man]], and [[rodent man]]. | |
− | + | The v0.34 release added hundreds more animal people species, all of which appear exclusively above-ground in [[savage]] [[biome]]s; these creatures are more or less distinct from the earlier, subterranean ones. They differ from subterranean species in that their behavior is much simpler: they simply wander around the map like any other wild [[creature]] would, and do not form camps or wield poisoned weapons. They do not exist as civs ''per se'', unlike their older counterparts, but can sometimes be found living in human, dwarven, and elven civs, where they behave more or less like other members of their adopted culture. | |

− | |||
− | + | The v0.42 release introduced conversion tables which would produce an anthropomorphic race from every animal species generated with the world. Conversion tables also produce giant versions of each species, and Toady has announced that giant anthropomorphic variations will be added. This release also allowed for animal people to occasionally join civilizations during worldgen, allowing for them to show up in site populations, and be playable in adventure mode. They can also visit fortress mode taverns, and even join the site as permanent residents. A grizzly bear hammerman has much to offer a dwarven society. | |
− | + | ==Ethics== | |
+ | Subterranean animal people, being an entity of their own right, possess ethics much like other races. However, in their case, their ethics are incomplete - in the current version, their ethics are copied from [[kobold]]s and their [[Personality trait|values]] are all set to 0, with comments left by [[Main:Toady One|Toady One]] implying he intends to work on them at a later date. | ||
− | + | The copied ethics mean animal people consider the killing of other living beings very much acceptable, but treason is unthinkable and they'll respond to the killing of their own by exiling the killer from their tribes. They oppose torture as an example as well as the torture of animals, but consider torture for fun fair game. Assault is considered a personal matter, while slavery, making trophies and the consumption of sapient beings, animal people or otherwise, are all considered unthinkable acts. All other ethics are not applicable. | |
− | + | ==Animal people== | |
− | + | ===Subterranean tribes=== | |
− | + | These animal people will appear as subterranean tribes, who may or may not be hostile to the player. | |

− | + | ===Savage animal people=== | |
+ | These animal people spawn in savage biomes and when encountered, will act essentially like animals. However, unlike the subterranean animal people, these will occasionally be accepted into surface civilizations and will act like civilized beings in ways such as wearing clothing and wielding equipment. Animal men native of caverns are accepted into dwarven civilizations, while above-ground races are typically found living in [[elven]] lands. When an animal people species joins a civilization, they become playable in adventurer mode under the {{dftext|Intelligent Wilderness Creature|7:1}} option. | ||
