This article is about an older version of DF.

Template:Elven This page contains a list of all the body parts in the game.

Head

  • Hair
  • Eyes
Eyes, while not essential for life, are annoying to lose. The loss of one or both eyes alone will not cause death, but may have other adverse effects. :The effects on vision by a loss of both eyes is currently unknown.
  • Eyelids
These can be damaged and Toady believes that eyes will be washed with soap if they cannot be washed by the eyelids due to injury.
  • Brain
Any damage to the brain will likely result in death.

Upper Body

  • Lungs
Damage to one or both lungs can be sustained, but will cause difficulty of breath and may result in a loss of speed. Major damage will cause death.
  • Heart
Major damage to the heart will cause death.
  • Stomach
It's bad if it's damaged.
  • Liver
Used for processing alcohol. Dwarven livers are much stronger than human livers and have never been damaged by alcohol. The loss of a liver is a terrible thing for a dwarf. (Actual effects of a lost liver seem to be nil, but correct this if that's wrong)
  • Guts
Under pressure.
  • Arms
  • Upper Arms
  • Lower Arms
  • Hands
  • Fingers
  • Nails

Lower Body

  • Legs
  • Upper Legs
  • Lower Legs
  • Feet
  • Toes
  • Nails
These will grow and become unkempt if not taken care of. This is done automatically by dwarves.

Skin

First protective layer.

Fat

Fat can be gained or lost depending on how much a creature eats and how much it works. It will melt if heated to a high enough temperature. This is a layer below the skin and above the fat.

Muscle

This layer is under the fat.

Arteries

If damaged, heavy bleeding will likely result in death. They appear to contain several gallons of blood.

Nerves

If damaged, the body part they are connected to will become useless or less effective.

Tendons

If destroyed, the limbs they connect will be useless.
