A full list of all known [[creature]] [[token]]s.
+
The <code>[OBJECT:CREATURE]</code> [[token]] begins the definition of a ''Dwarf Fortress'' [[creature]] [[raw file]]. Each creature definition that follows begins with the {{token|creature|c|creature ID}} token, and the creature's exact properties and behavior are then specified by the use of further creature tokens.  All known creature tokens are listed below.  
  
−
__NOTOC__
+
Vanilla creature definitions can be found in <code>[[Game folder|<Dwarf Fortress>]]\data\vanilla\vanilla_creatures\</code>.
 +
Creature ID is also used with [[graphics token]]s to make customizable [[graphics set]]s.
  
−
<div align="center">
+
The [[caste]] tokens allow defining sub-species within the broader creature definition, including true biological castes and lesser variations, such as sexes. Creature tokens can either be 'Creature' or 'CASTE-only' type which can only be applied to creature or caste respectively, or 'CASTE' which can be applied to both. In the table bellow, creature type distinguishes tokens that can be applied to creature only, caste only, and both ('creature', 'CASTE-only', and 'CASTE' respectively)

+
| Based on info from [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=113762.msg3473069#msg3473069 Wannabehero on the forums]: When used with an appearance modifier token (BP_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER or BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER), tells the game what numeric ranges to map to which descriptors.
 +
 
 +
The game uses 7 descriptor levels for each modifier, with the center one generally being to omit the thing from the creature description entirely. The six values in APP_MOD_DESC_RANGE define the boundaries between each described range. If this is not specified it uses the numbers 10:50:95:105:150:190.

'''If the body is left undefined, the creature will cause a crash whenever it spawns.'''

The body parts need to be listed in an order such that any parent part appears before its connected children. For example [BODY:HEART:BODY_WITH_HEAD_FLAG] produces a "Body Token Recognized But Could Not Connect: HEART" error because HEART can't find any UPPERBODY(s) to connect to. Switching the order to [BODY:BODY_WITH_HEAD_FLAG:HEART] fixes the problem because now the UPPERBODY is created before the HEART tries to connect to it.

| Determines the chances of a creature appearing within its environment, with higher values resulting in more frequent appearance. Also affects the chance of a creature being brought in a caravan for trading. The game effectively considers all creatures that can possibly appear and uses the FREQUENCY value as a ''weight'' - for example, if there are three creatures with frequencies 10/25/50, the creature with [FREQUENCY:50] will appear approximately 58.8% of the time. Defaults to 50 if not specified. Not to be confused with {{token|POP_RATIO|c}}.
+
| The {{token|FREQUENCY|c}} value plays two separate roles. The first is in determining the initial distribution of creatures across the world map. Each creature is randomly assigned a single x, y co-ordinate on the world map, which act as the epicenter for that creature's distribution. A square is drawn around that x, y co-ordinate with a Manhattan radius equal to the {{token|FREQUENCY|c}} value divided by 100 times the world map size. For example, in a 256 by 256 size world map, the [[lion]] might be assigned 14, 112. The [[lion]] has {{token|FREQUENCY:5|c}}, and so a square is drawn by moving 13 tiles in each direction from the [[lion]]'s x, y co-ordinate. This is the [[lion]]'s "territory".
−

<div align="center">

Each sub-region in the world will attempt to fill lists of wildlife. There are five lists - {{token|VERMIN_GROUNDER|c}}, {{token|VERMIN_SOIL|c}}, {{token|VERMIN_SOIL_COLONY|c}}, {{token|LARGE_ROAMING|c}}, and {{token|LARGE_PREDATOR|c}}, corresponding with the relevant tokens. The game will attempt to place seven creatures in each list for each sub-region. The game will select the seven nearest valid creatures. Creatures are valid for sub-region's list if they have the requisite token for that list, if they have the valid token for that sub-region's biome (for example, the [lion] can only be selected for {{token|BIOME:SAVANNA_TROPICAL|c}}, {{token|BIOME:GRASSLAND_TROPICAL|c}}, and {{token|BIOME:SHRUBLAND_TROPICAL|c}}, and if their "territory" as defined by their random epicenter and {{token|FREQUENCY|c}} radius overlaps with that sub-region. These lists then determine the creatures that can actually appear within that sub-region during gameplay.
−
{{alphabetical TOC}}
+
 
−
</div>
+
There are some exceptions to the above. If the game was not capable of filling all seven entries in a list, it will drop the overlapping territory requirement, and simply pull the nearest creature which has the correct token and biome availability. Conversely, if a creature has an epicenter but has not appeared on any of the list for any of the world map's sub-regions, the creature will be assigned to the relevant list for the nearest appropriate sub-region - meaning it is occasionally possible to have lists of eight creatures or more. This is more common in smaller worlds where there are less possible sub-regions to be assigned towards. Creatures with the {{token|GOOD|c}} and {{token|EVIL|c}} tokens ignore the epicenter distribution system altogether. They are always capable of appearing in appropriate biomes which are {{token|GOOD|b}} or {{token|EVIL|b}} respectively. This is not true for {{token|SAVAGE|c}}, which acts more like the biome tokens. Creatures with {{token|UBIQUITOUS|c}} have a "territory" which covers the entire map, regardless of their epicenter (although they can still fail to be chosen if there are 7 creatures which are eligible and have nearer epicenters to the sub-region in question).
 +
 
 +
The second use for {{token|FREQUENCY|c}} is to determine how often a creature actually appears on map. In Fortress Mode, the game will try and spawn large wildlife (creatures with {{token|LARGE_ROAMING|c}} or {{token|LARGE_PREDATOR|c}} in fairly regular waves. These waves include {{token|LARGE_ROAMING|c}}, {{token|LARGE_ROAMING|c}} combined with {{token|FLIER|c}}, {{token|LARGE_PREDATOR|c}}, and {{token|CURIOUS_BEAST|c}} - so a [[lion]] does not compete for selection with a [[gazelle]]. When the game decides it needs to spawn in a fresh wave of e.g. {{token|LARGE_ROAMING|c}} creatures, it will select one of the creatures available to it from the lists for that sub-region at random, with all creatures weighted equally. Once it has selected a creature, it then effectively rolls a d100 against the relevant creature's {{token|FREQUENCY|c}}. If the d100 is equal to the creature's {{token|FREQUENCY|c}} or less, that creature is then spawned in. If the d100 is above the creature's {{token|FREQUENCY|c}}, the game returns to the relevant list and selects again. {{token|UBIQUITOUS|c}} acts as {{token|FREQUENCY:100|c}} for these purposes - in other words, the creature cannot fail the d100 check and will always be spawned in if it is selected from the list.

* <start speed> indicates the creature's speed when it starts moving using this gait

* <build up time> indicates how long it will take for a creature using this gait to go from <start speed> to <max speed>. For example, a value of 10 means that it should be able to reach the maximum speed by moving 10 [[tile]]s in a straight line over even terrain.

'''NO_BUILD_UP''' can be specified instead of a <start speed> value to make the <max speed> instantly achievable upon initiating movement (this is equivalent to a <build up time> of 0). Note that <build up time> and <max turning speed> are both ignored if specified alongside this (as NO_BUILD_UP trumps <build up time> and preserves <max speed> whilst turning, and <max turning speed> cannot exceed <max speed>) so it is permissible to omit them so long as they are '''both''' omitted together.

| Found on [[Bogeyman|bogeymen]]. Creatures with this tag will join other bogeymen in attacking adventurers at night, and will also adopt their other behaviors, such as vanishing in smoke upon being killed. This does not affect the creature's presence elsewhere, such as for generated megabeasts, normal creatures, entity members, etc. Setting the number of bogeyman types to zero in the world gen parameters will remove only the randomly-generated bogeymen.
+
| Creatures with this token can appear as [[experiment|experiments]]. Causes the creature to count as {{token|NOT_LIVING|c}}. Killing a creature featuring this token provides one point of "hero" reputation. Adds the creature's description as part of the initial summary of their historical figure in legends mode. People will react to creatures with this token as a night creature (natch). In adventure mode, ambushes involving these units will say "Night creature!" instead of "Ambush!"

Prevents the AI from using ANIMATE interactions, unless the newly-animated{{token|OPPOSED_TO_LIFE|c}}undead will not attack them. The check for this is specifically whether the unit is:

*a ghost

*an animated unit
 +
*a unit with the {{token|NO_AGING|c}} token added via {{token|CE_ADD_TAG|c}}. (This allows for the default exclusion of elves and goblins, unless raised as intelligent undead.)

Note that this tag does not override the creature's normal behavior in [[fortress mode]] except for the aforementioned aggression, and doesn't prevent the creature from fleeing the battles it started. It also removes the creature's materials from stockpile settings list, making them be stored there regardless of settings.

| Creatures with this token can appear in [[bogeyman|bogeyman ambushes]] in [[adventure mode]], where they adopt classical bogeyman traits such as stalking the adventurer and vaporising when dawn breaks. Such traits do not manifest if the creature is encountered outside of a bogeyman ambush (for instance, as a megabeast or a civilised being). In addition, their corpses and severed body parts turn into [[smoke]] after a short while. Note that setting the "Number of Bogeyman Types" in [[advanced world generation]] to 0 will only remove randomly-generated bogeymen.

Creatures with this tag may periodically "perform horrible experiments" offscreen, during which they can use creature-targeting interactions with an <code>[[Interaction_token#I_SOURCE|[I_SOURCE:EXPERIMENT]]]</code> tag on living creatures in their area. Worlds are generated with a list of procedurally-generated experiments, allowing necromancers to turn living people and animals into [[Infected_ghoul|ghouls]] and [[Experiment|other experimental creatures]], and these will automatically be available to all experimenters; it does not appear possible to prevent this. You can mod in your own custom experiment interactions, but these are used very infrequently due to the large number of generated experiments.

Does stack with {{token|LARGE_ROAMING|c}} and if both are used the creature will spawn as both historical hunters and as wild animals; this requires specifying a {{token|BIOME|c}} in which the creature will live, and subterranean biomes are allowed.
  
 
This tag causes the usual behaviour of werebeasts in worldgen, that is, fleeing towns upon being cursed and conducting raids from a lair. If this tag is absent from a deity curse, the accursed will simply be driven out of towns in a similar manner to [[vampire]]s. When paired with SPOUSE_CONVERTER, a very small population of the creature will be created during worldgen (sometimes only a single individual will be created), and their histories will be tracked (that is, they will not spawn spontaneously later, they must either have children or convert other creatures to increase their numbers). The creature will settle in a lair and go on rampages during worldgen. It will actively attempt to seek out potential conversion targets to abduct, convert, and have children with (if possible).

| Allows the being to represent itself as a deity, allowing it to become the leader of a civilized group. Used by unique demons in the vanilla game. Requires CAN_SPEAK to actually do anything more than settle at a location (e.g. write books, lead armies, profane temples). Doesn't appear to do anything for creatures that are already civilized. Beings with this token behave like civilized leaders and will sometimes make journeys to the wilds and tame creatures for their civilization to use; above-ground beings domesticate above-ground animals, while demons domesticate subterranean wildlife.
