The '''carp''' is a fairly common variety of [[Fish|large fish]] that is infamous among dwarves as being a vicious killer. However, they are not as dangerous now as the stories would lead you to believe. They are still capable of dragging dwarves into water<sup><small>1</small></sup>, which if there are no [[ramp]]s to allow the unlucky dwarf to escape can result in them drowning. Groups of carp are considerably more dangerous, able to inflict enough wounds with their raspy sucker-mouths to cause a fully-clothed dwarf bleed out and turn the [[river]] a festive red color.

Carp may be found in anything from a river to a murky pool. While river-carp may be just as scared of your dwarves as the dwarves are of them (tending to swim away), carp found in a [[murky pool]] will often feel cornered and attack anyone who gets too close "as an act of self defense".

[CREATURE_TILE:224][COLOR:3:0:0]
If carp only exist in one specific water source (say, one Murky Pool), it may be best to simply designate a non-carp-infested body of water as a water source ({{k|i}}, set area rectangle using {{k|enter}}, {{k|w}}) and then restrict access ({{k|d}}, {{k|o}}, {{k|r}}) so dwarves aren't allowed to drink/fish anywhere else.

Carp cannot attack any dwarves through a [[well]], so building one will allow your dwarves safe access to water inhabited by carp (so long as the well is not on the same z level as the top of the lake/river).

[BENIGN][MEANDERER][NATURAL]

[PETVALUE:50]
When carp are found in the river, one solution is to dig an artificial [[channel]] and place a [[grate]] between it and the river proper, as carp cannot swim through grates, but grates still allow water through. Placing grates over the river or channel may also protect dwarves, by stopping them from falling in.

In [[40d:Carp|prior versions]] of the game, carp had teeth that could inflict 3 times as much damage as an unarmed dwarf's fist, and so could dispatch an unarmed and unarmored dwarf (e.g. a fisherman, or a miner going for a drink) with ease.
