| + | In ''Dwarf Fortress'', a '''creature''' is defined as any animate, normally-mobile (and for the sake of this article, non-[[vermin]]) being that can interact with the world and any element inside it. The creatures in the game range from being entirely realistic to completely mythical. Although most creatures are animals, [[dwarf|dwarves]], [[giant cave spider]]s, and even [[megabeast]]s are all also considered creatures. Various creatures can and will interact with a fortress or adventurer in many different ways. | ||
Some creatures have [[skill]]s that match what type of creature they are (e.g. [[monkey]]s having legendary climbing skill). Though most creatures can be found in any mode, some are exclusive to [[adventure mode]] or [[fortress mode]]. Some creatures are randomly and procedurally generated, meaning they could have many different sprites in-game. Creatures of that type may have just one to a few sprites showcased out of many in the list below. A question mark placeholder may also be shown instead. | Some creatures have [[skill]]s that match what type of creature they are (e.g. [[monkey]]s having legendary climbing skill).
