Gender, along with orientation, determines if two creatures can breed. Gender may also influence the size, attacks, or other characteristics of creatures (e.g. Elephant seal, Moose).
Determining gender
When viewing a unit, a symbol appears below its name:
| Gender | Symbol | Common names | Other uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Male | ♂ | Boar | Bags |
| Female | ♀ | Sow | Amulets |
Additionally, when viewing a unit from the u menu or with v-z, the creature will be referred to as "he" or "she".
A gelded male's gender will appear as x♂x.
Raws
In the raws, genders are defined using generalized caste tokens (not to be confused with casts). Castes are often just defined as "male" or "female", but there are a few notable exceptions.
