'''Drunians''' are [[creature]]s who can be found on the first and second layers of the [[caverns]]. They spawn in loose groups of 5-10 individuals, walking into undefended fortresses, [[Steals items|stealing items]] and [[Steals food|eating all the food]] they can get their grubby fingers into. Drunians are near the size of the average [[dwarf]], but will flee when confronted unless cornered, in which case they will fight back with bites and scratches which should not pose a threat to a [[military]] squad. All drunians are born with Legendary [[skill]] in [[Climber|climbing]].

Drunians can be captured with [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into low-value [[pet]]s. They are long-lived and also rather explosive breeders, which makes them an attractive target for your [[meat industry]]. They reach adulthood at 2 years, and should preferably be [[butcher]]ed at that age for optimal returns.

Unlike most animals, drunians can't be spawned in the [[object testing arena]].

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] drunians for their ''manes''.

:''"Memory" redirects here. For computer memory, see [[Memory (computing)]].''
A creature has numerous attributes which affect its performance at various tasks, split into physical factors associated with the body, and mental factors associated with the soul.

Attributes can be viewed in the [[thoughts and preferences]] screen. Body attributes are listed directly before prefstrings; soul attributes directly after. Positive attributes are shown in green, negative attributes are shown in red, and average attributes are omitted. Said attributes may be listed on the thoughts and preferences screen as follows (may have to be highlighted to be seen): 
{{DFtext|He is slow to tire and agile, |2:0}}{{DFtext|but he is quite susceptible to disease.|4:0}}

Attributes are associated with skills, so that shield use will raise endurance as an attribute, but not attributes like memory. Different attributes raised by one skill may not be raised by the same amount. Attribute and skill gain and rust rates are moddable in the raws as a [[creature token]].

Attributes can be viewed for individual dwarves by selecting ({{k|v}}iew dwarves, {{k|z}}, {{k|enter}}), or by going to the ({{k|u}}nits menu, {{k|v}}iew, then {{k|enter}}).

== Descriptions ==
In-game attribute descriptions are calculated based on the difference from the [[creature|species]] average. [[Human]]s' median attribute values are always 1000. Thus, if the median [[dwarf]] has higher than 1000 for an attribute, that means the median dwarf is better than the median human for that attribute (however, individual humans may be better than individual dwarves due to intraspecies variation). Likewise, if the median dwarf has below 1000 for an attribute, then the median human bests the median dwarf in that contest.

The tiers at which descriptions change are 250, 500, 750, and 1000 above or below the species median. Interestingly, if a species has an attribute with a median below 1000, such as dwarves' agility, the lowest tier will never be displayed.

These descriptions are not used in [[adventurer mode]].

== Body attributes ==
The attribute values given in the tables correspond to default racial averages for dwarves only. Modded dwarves or any other creature will report the same phrases, but the underlying numbers may be very different, as they are calculated based on the species average. In almost every case, a higher attribute value is better, as opposed to [[personality trait]]s where one may prefer higher or lower depending on the situation.

=== Strength ===
Alters the damage done in melee (increases velocity of weapon swings), increases muscle mass (thicker muscle layer also resists damage more), and increases how much a creature can carry. Higher strength also increases the speed of fast [[gait]]s in most creatures, including running, soaring, galloping, and fast swimming, however proportionate gains in muscle mass can eventually reduce speed enough to overtake the gains (moreso with larger creatures than dwarves.). The dwarf median of 1250 is higher than average.

{| {{prettytable}}
! Value
! Description
|-
| 2250–5000 || unbelievably strong
|-
| 2000–2249 || mighty
|-
| 1750–1999 || very strong
|-

|-
| 1001–1499 || (no description)

|-
| 501–750 || very weak
|-
| 251–500 || unquestionably weak
|-
| 0–250 || unfathomably weak
|}

===Agility===
This attribute affects the speed of a creature's fast-moving [[gait]]s in the same way as strength — a creature with maximum agility and strength can run faster than a creature with minimum agility and strength. The median dwarf agility of 900 is slightly below average.

Because dwarves in general have below-average agility, and because the descriptions are based on the difference from the racial average, no dwarves will ever display as "abysmally clumsy".

==Soul attributes==
The attribute values given in the tables correspond to default racial averages for dwarves only. Modded dwarves or any other creature will report the same phrases, but the underlying numbers may be very different. In almost every case, a higher attribute value is better, as opposed to [[personality trait]]s where one may prefer higher or lower depending on the situation.

From [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=60554.msg1413312#msg1413312 this post by Toady One]:
<blockquote>
With respect to skills: most of these attributes only affect duration, when that is the only available skill effect to begin with, but they are factored into outcomes when it applies.

This data assumes, without evidence, that the same skills use some of the attributes that they train (i.e. that high agility improves chance of dodging). The data is accurate as of game version 31.18.

*Spatial Sense and Kinesthetic Sense are almost everywhere
*Nothing trains Disease Resistance, Recuperation, or Musicality
*Intimidation and Comedy, social skills, raise Agility. Dwarven comedy is slapstick/clowning, not stand-up.
*Student skill doesn't boost skill gain except for teacher-student relations in a barracks
*Choose high-volume labors that train useful attributes for militia day-jobs/bootcamp
*Fishing, Siege Operating, and Record Keeping are useful for marksdwarves as they train the Focus attribute
*Hunting (ambusher/sneak) has identical attribute gain to Crossbow and Archer skills
*Shearing apparently doesn't train anything

== Dwarf attributes ==

Each attribute is a number between 0 and 5000, but in dwarven terms anything below 200 is rare [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=5882] and anything above 2500 is extraordinary. In the default raws (/raw/objects/creature_standard.txt), dwarven attributes come in four levels.

Focus and Spatial Sense are referred to as "++", or two steps above default. Their range is defined as [700:1200:1400:1500:1600:1800:2500], which sets out six ranges: 700-1200, 1200-1400, etc. Dwarves have an equal chance of dropping into any of these ranges, and an equal probability again of getting any number in that range. So the bottom one-sixth of your dwarves will be really low, the top one-sixth really high, and the two-thirds in the middle huddled around average. This also means that the median and the mean are slightly different: the mean for ++ is 1516.66... while median is 1500.

Strength, Toughness, Analytical Ability, Creativity, Patience, and Memory are +, or one step above default. Their ranges are [450:950:1150:1250:1350:1550:2250], and their mean is 1266.66...

Endurance, Disease Resistance, Recuperation, Intuition, Willpower, Kinesthetic Sense, Linguistic Ability, Musicality, Empathy, and Social Awareness are AVG, or the default. Their ranges are not specified in the raws, but they are [200:700:900:1000:1100:1300:2000] for Physical and [200:800:900:1000:1100:1300:2000] for Mental.

Agility is "-", the only attribute to be below default. Its ranges are [150:600:800:900:1000:1100:1500], mean 862.5, median 900.

== Training attributes ==

It would seem that various skills train various attributes at different rates. For Physical Attributes and Willpower, military training works best. It relatively quickly gives a Dwarf some extra Agility and Strength, making him walk and work faster in all areas (According to [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=121573.msg3944723#msg3944723] speed is a factor in determining how fast a labour is completed).

Attributes are capped in Adventure mode and probably also in Dwarf mode. Those caps are governed by {{token|MENT_ATT_CAP_PERC}} and {{token|PHYS_ATT_CAP_PERC}}. By default the maximum attribute values (barring increases from vampirism and other interactions) are governed by the starting value as well as the median for that caste (that is the middle value in {{token|PHYS_ATT_RANGE}}, for example 1000 for most attributes for Dwarves).
attribute_cap = starting_value + max {starting_value, median}

The speed of learning attributes is governed by "cost to improve" in {{token|PHYS_ATT_RATES}} and {{token|MENT_ATT_RATES}}. By default CTI for attributes is 500, which means the counter for using that attribute has to be incremented 500 times for the Dwarf to gain 1 in that attribute. The lower the CTI, the faster an attribute increases. According to [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=66525.msg3993120#msg3993120] the counter is incremented every ten ticks a skill using that attribute is in use. This means it takes 5000 TUs or just over 4 in-game days of continuous labour to improve an attribute by 1. The improved attribute gain from military training may stem from the fact that sparring and individual combat drills train multiple skills at the same time.

==Standard ranges==

The game comes pre-stocked with several sets of attribute ranges, some better than others. The signs that come after the numeral ranges indicate what level that range represents, but have no effect in and of themselves.

0:0:0:0:0:0:0] unattainable

'''Squid men''', like most anthropomorphic sea life, can be found in [[savage]] [[ocean]]s. They will suffocate if they go out of the water, meaning they pose no threat whatsoever to your fortress...

...in most cases, that is.

Testing in the arena (5 [[undead]] squid men VS. 5 human swordsmen) has shown that one re-animated squid man, in addition to being able to travel on land, has the potential to quickly become an army of re-animated body parts, as they have twelve limbs and eight sets of hands, all of which are theoretically capable of holding a weapon or item.

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] squid men for their ''ability to spray ink''.

[[File:squid_man.png|thumb|260px|center|Does this look unsure to you?!]]

===Creature behavior===
{{D for Dwarf}}The squid man is considered the most sophisticated of the aquatic animal people, as it has been known to use tools and play instruments, the clarinet being most commonly used. It has also been observed to have a strange aversion to [[sponge man|sponge men]]. More research is necessary to determine the cause of this.

Reports have also surfaced of squid man children competing deep below the waves for territory using their ink despite being born into adulthood. It is still a mystery among [[ranger|Dwarven biologists]] as to how and why such events are coordinated. However, one theory suggests they are training for their ongoing war with the [[octopus man|octopus men]].

'''Sperm whale men''' live in savage oceans.

Sperm whale man are by far the largest of the animal people – they are half the weight of a fully-grown [[dragon]]. This makes taking them on very dangerous, but since they live in the water and are generally not aggressive, you'll be hard-pressed to have a sperm whale man problem – unless you have embarked on an [[evil]] [[ocean]], but in that case, you brought that on yourself.

Like sperm whales, they have a 1/101 chance of being born with white skin instead of gray.

Giant sponge

'''Giant sponges''' are larger versions of [[sponge]]s. They can be found in savage rivers, lakes and oceans.

Physically, giant sponges are blobs made of "sponge" tissue. Despite their lack of articulations or body parts, the combat mechanics of v0.40 have made it invulnerable no longer, due to the mechanics of pulping. Due to the sponge's weak material properties (even weaker than flesh), pulping sponge tissue with blunt weapons is not too difficult. However, their large size means they can shatter bones, articulations, bruise organs or even kill a dwarf via headshot using their default [[push]] attack. They may also themselves pulp body parts beyond recognition, as the push attack is also a blunt attack. How a giant sponge's soft structural tissue can break a dwarven skull is a [[physics|mystery for the ages]].

If some hapless [[dwarf]] appears near their water, giant sponges may feel suddenly threatened and charge (!) the hapless dwarf and engage in combat - the only occasion when they move at all. They may also become enraged or unconscious or feel pain, as utterly improbable as that sounds.

''"Without a nervous system, the only thing it can feel is ANGER."

According to its raws, the giant sponge can not only be tamed but even ''ridden as a war beast'' by invaders. No reports of goblins or elves riding giant sponges has been documented, but maybe its strictly aquatic lifestyle prevents it from being chosen.

'''Octopus men''' have been known to take over the bodies of Spider-men, deeming themselves to have superior intellect compared to the Spider-men.

Octopus men are a surprisingly unscrupulous race; they often feud with [[DF2014:Squid man|squid men]] over territory and are known to steal precious materials from them. In rare instances, squid man [[singer]]s have even been kidnapped from their undersea homes and forced to perform for octopus men.

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] leopard seal men for their ''fierce nature''.

{{D for Dwarf}}
Leopard seal men are relatively unimportant in the world of ''Dwarf Fortress'', but then along came Bim Silversnarl the Hero of Balance, a demigod leopard seal man adventurer whose journey has bloomed to legendary proportions. A true display of pinniped potential, he built his own settlement and recruited an entourage of loyal [[honey badger man|honey badger men]] who unquestionably follow their natural born leader. In his quest to "balance" and abate the overgrown [[goblin|evil]] in the world, Bim was responsible for the slaughter of over 700 trolls ''en masse'' during a visit to the dark fortress. Blood the color of adamantine was spilled in great abundance; the carnage was so unchecked that his iron battle axe and long sword actually wore out from endlessly beating them against troll flesh. [[Armok]] would be proud, and on the plus side, lag was reduced considerably. An [http://www.deviantart.com/art/Bim-Silversnarl-Hero-of-Balance-672284578 ☼engraving of Bim Silversnarl☼] was carved in honor of the extraordinary mammal. Leopard seals do indeed have a ''fierce nature'', after all. The video series chronicling his epic adventure can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2JXgQxiDYo&list=PLXX7Rp0iXj0klmNiJH79gzGAsdI0BHvm8 here].

'''Hedgehog men''' can curl up into a ball-shape which drastically increases the defense of the creature against [[Attack_types#Blunt_weapons|blunt damage]], causing it only to take damage to the [[Anatomy#Upper_Body|upper body]].

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] hedgehog men for their ''many spines''.

== Bugs ==
If a curled-up or retracted creature dies, and is then reanimated by a necromancer, it retains the effects of being curled-up, but can move and attack as normal. As a result, for example an undead echidna is invulnerable to destruction{{bug|11463}}. It combines well with a separate bug that allows curled-up undead to attack{{bug|10519}}.

As a result, the undead echidna may at the same time be curled-up (making it unkillable) and move/attack. The same problem also affects the [[echidna man]], [[giant echidna]], [[giant hedgehog]] and [[hedgehog man]].

Modding the game and removing [PREVENTS_PARENT_COLLAPSE] from the spine body part of the affected animals will allow them to be pulped and killed while curled up. While it makes normal echidnas weaker, this is not a major problem, as echidnas are not supposed to be really hard to kill. This workaround [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=175473.msg8111524#msg8111524 may restore otherwise unplayable games].

It was also reported that in adventure mode "I was able to finally kill the zombie by lighting fires underneath him/around him then waiting for a long time; eventually he 'died in the heat.'"{{bug|10519}}.

Contrary to popular belief, hedgehog men cannot exceed the speed of sound while running.
