| This article is about an older version of DF. |
- Now you will know why you fear the night.
Introduced in v0.31.17, and further expanded in v.34.01, Night creatures are a class of hostile creatures. Many of them are generated procedurally, whether as a full creature, through an interaction changing a normal creature, or a mixture of both. Due to their larger exposure, night trolls are generally called night creatures on the forums.
Each type of night creature is depicted in the game as either a ñ or Ñ of a different color. The currently existing night creatures are the following:
ÑNight trolls, which abduct certain civilized creatures of the opposite gender, transform them into a spouse, and mate with them.ñBogeymen, which ambush lone travelers at night, chasing them relentlessly until the victim can retreat indoors or manages to survive until daylight.ÑGhosts, the restless spirits of the dead that weren't properly memorized. Depending on circumstances, they have various ways to interact with the living.ÑAnimated dead are the walking corpses and corpse parts that arise in evil regions, or under the thrall of a necromancer or mummy. They flash between theit night creature tile and their basic creature tile.- Thralls/Husk/etc created by Evil Weather in evil biomes.
ÑNecromancers are historical figures that have found secrets of life and death, becoming immortal and gaining the ability to animate the dead.ÑDisturbed dead are the dead rulers of civilizations, interred in tombs. They will arise if disturbed and lay curses on the trespasser.ÑWerebeasts are people cursed by the gods for profaning their temple, or those to whom they transferred that curse. At the full moon, they will transform into a ravenous monster.ÑVampires are undead blood drinkers that can pass for living., moving on when suspicion on them grows too much. Occasionally they might start immortality cults instead, and might make a bid to seize power over a whole civilization.
In addition to the existing night creatures, and plans to expand them, Dwarf Fortress Talk #14 reveals future plans for other types of night creatures, which are as follows:
ÑStalkers, undead that arose from brutal killings and executions, taking on aspects related to their death.ÑIntelligent undead - undead creatures that do not fit into the other categories of undead.ÑConstructed creatures. These are creatures like Frankenstein's monster, with mismatched limbs, sutures, and grafted weapons.ÑAnimated furniture, to be found in certain haunted houses, making sounds, moving about, and attacking the unwitting soul entering them. Their night creature tile will flash over their basic furniture tile.ÑVarious sorts of evil beasts, such as evil rotten cabybaras or evil animated trees.ÑMonsters of the sea, including aquatic hags and trolls such as Grendel.ÑCursed people of the sea, such as undead pirates or seafarers.
