Giant earthworms are colossal [[worm]]s, burrowing through rock and stone. They are also exceptionally rare.

Giant is an understatement -- a worm corpse of merely average weight is around 200 kilograms.

Giant earthworms are predictably nonagressive, but they are capable of killing dwarves. However, due to them having a brain in their whole body and no bones to protect the brain, it is quite easy to kill them.

Giant earthworms do not breed and cannot be tamed. Their only use is looking cool, or as a [[zoo]] creature, or simply meat. Their parts have a decent x2 value modifier. They can't be spawned in the [[object testing arena]].

Some dwarves admire them "for their awesome presence."

==Thanks!==

Thank you for the time and effort you've put into fixing up the Dwarf Fortress Wiki; you're doing a fine job! --[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 16:20, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
:No problem! I enjoy contributing with what I can. Glad to see I'm doing it right, hehe. [[User:OluapPlayer|OluapPlayer]] ([[User talk:OluapPlayer|talk]]) 16:24, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

== Underground creatures ==

I've noticed your additions to the creatures that cannot be spawned in Arena mode. Do you think something should be added to the effect of it being a common trait among creatures with the SUBTERRANEAN CHASM biome? (Pond grabbers and magma crabs have SUBTERRANEAN WATER and SUBTERRANEAN LAVA respectively, though.) [[User:The Mastrod|The Mastrod]] ([[User talk:The Mastrod|talk]]) 22:30, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Insanity

2017-06-12T02:22:08Z

'''Insanity''' describes any of the conditions that cause a [[dwarf]] or other [[creature]] to immediately stop what they were doing and go mad. Dwarves that are insane are unable to sleep, eat, drink, follow [[Standing orders|orders]] or perform any [[Labor|job]]. Insanity is permanent, and comes in four flavors: "Melancholy," "Stark Raving Mad," "Berserk", and "Catatonic". Each of these will inevitably end with the death of the afflicted dwarf. [[Tantrum]]ing, [[oblivious]]ness or [[depression]] may be a sign that the certain dwarf may go insane unless something makes the dwarf happy.

Traveling merchants and their pack animals can also go insane. If this happens, the accompanying guard/s will kill the merchant and/or his animals. If this rare case does happen, the merchant's goods will be free for you to take.

:{{gametext|Cilob Nisgakdeler, Merchant has gone berserk!|4:1}}
:{{gametext|Horse is stricken by melancholy!|1:1}}

[[Children]] (even babies) may become insane. This, in a smaller fortress without a military, will usually lead to much [[Fun]].

==Causes==
The following events/conditions can drive a creature insane:
* A dwarf enters a [[strange mood]] but is waiting inside the claimed workshop for the next item (or hasn't yet claimed a workshop) for a month and a half.
* A strange mood is cancelled for some reason (e.g. the claimed workshop is destroyed or a [[magma forge]] loses power)
* A dwarf is forced to stay awake for over 6 months ("Very Drowsy" for a month and a half).
* A dwarf is under excessively high stress. Dwarves who have completed a strange mood and created a [[legendary artifact]] '''cannot''' go insane this way.
* A [[diplomat]] is trapped inside your fortress for a long time after having completed its meeting. (Being trapped inside a fortress without having completed their meeting will not cause a diplomat to go insane.)
* A diplomat is attacked by sieging forces.
* A [[Trading|merchant]] is trapped within your fortress or otherwise disrupted (e.g. by being attacked by invaders).
* A diplomat or merchant is trapped inside a [[cage]].

==Types==

There are four known types of insanity, but a dwarf may only be afflicted by one at a time (one is enough). The [[personality trait|personality]] of the dwarf influences the type of insanity.

:* '''Stark raving mad'''
:{{gametext|<dwarf> has gone stark raving mad!|3:1}}
::''Running around babbling!''
::''Crawling around babbling!''
:The afflicted will strip naked and drop each of their items one by one. They will then wander your halls aimlessly (or sometimes stick to their [[room]] or burrow), babbling incoherently until they eventually die of dehydration or starvation. They do not actively seek out their own deaths, but death does a pretty good job at finding them anyway, as they ignore any and all hazards they encounter while milling about.
:Dwarves with high '''anxiety propensity''' are more likely to go stark raving mad, typically after stumbling around [[oblivious]]ly one too many times.

:* '''Melancholy'''
:{{gametext|<dwarf> is stricken by melancholy!|1:1}}
::''Stricken by melancholy...''
:The afflicted is overcome by depression and will seek out ways to end their life, considerably slowing their movement in the process. If they cannot find a [[cliff]] to jump off of or [[water]]/[[magma]] to [[Swimmer#Drowning|drown]]/[[Fire|burn up]] in, they will simply starve or dehydrate themselves to death. Be warned that a melancholy mother may take her baby's life with her own if she still carries it.
:Dwarves with high '''depression propensity''' are more likely to be stricken by melancholy, typically after slipping into [[depression]] one too many times.

:* '''Berserk'''
:{{gametext|<dwarf> has gone berserk!|4:1}}
::''In a berserk rage!''
:The afflicted attacks friend and foe alike in a blind rage. This can be dangerous if it happens to an experienced dwarf (especially one carrying an artifact weapon). Luckily, [[Dog|war dogs]] can quickly bring down an unskilled dwarf.
:Berserk dwarves have also been reported to pull every lever they can find.{{verify}} This may be a mere annoyance or [[Fun|very fun]], depending on your fortress' design. Berserk dwarves are even known to kill their own newborn baby right after the baby is born.
:The dwarf in question becomes an enemy to your [[civilization]], meaning it will set off traps and engage your [[military]].
:Dwarves with high '''anger propensity''' are more likely to go berserk, typically after throwing one too many [[tantrum]]s.

:* '''Catatonic'''
:{{gametext|<dwarf> has stopped responding to the world...|2:0}}
::''Staring off into space...''
:The afflicted does nothing but stare blankly into space until he inevitably starves to death.
:Catatonia is special in that it will '''override''' other types of insanity - dwarves with extremely high '''stress vulnerability''' ("becomes completely helpless in stressful situations") have a 50% chance to become catatonic, and dwarves with below-average (less than 40) propensity for anger, anxiety and depression have a 100% chance to become catatonic.

==Treatments for Insanity==

{{D for Dwarf}}

As stated, there is no cure for a dwarf who has fallen into one of the aforementioned forms of madness. Preventative measures may be considered, since a dwarf may show certain signs of psychological illness before it has fully taken hold. Luckily, recent advancements in [[health care]] have led to an exciting new field of medicine specifically meant to improve the overall mental welfare of the sanity impaired. As with all experimental treatments, efficacy and safety are not guaranteed, but early applications of the listed techniques have yielded promising results.

*The Amontillado Treatment
*:Initial research indicates that psychotic dwarves may benefit from extended periods of isolation, during which they may turn inward and away from their ecstasy. Therefore, if the patient has entered their room, locking them inside might be the best thing to do. If the patient is catatonic, or [[strange mood|remaining stationary for a long period]], then erecting a wall around them is recommended. Remember to open the door or bring the wall down before the patient succumbs to thirst or starvation. Alternatively, food and drink (and other items) may be dropped into the room through a [[Dump|delivery system]] of some sort, but remember that isolation must remain total if full effectiveness is to be achieved.
*The Colosseum Procedure
*:Be wary of dwarves who have recently commandeered workshops. It is a serious sign if the patient is screaming for products that cannot be provided (especially if stockpile records are up-to-date and publicly available). In cases such as these, the best treatment is to [[Trap#Cage_Trap|ensure they cannot escape the workshop]] in the event they turn violent. That way, they may be safely relocated to a segregated area where they can work off their aggression harmlessly on the fortress walls. Be certain to keep them away from [[Dragon|animals]], [[Elf|prisoners]], and [[Noble|other patients]]! Once the patient has calmed down, they can be brought out and returned to their lives.
*Animal Therapy
*:Breakout cases such as above can sometimes be prevented by giving the patient some new pets to take care of. For reasons uncertain, [[Dog|war dogs]] appear to have the greatest effect (although this may be a matter of availability; researchers have achieved results with [[black bear|bears]], [[tiger]]s, and even [[cow]]s). If the patient should break at some point, the presence of these animals may be enough to [[fun|tranquilize]] the patient.
*Group Sessions
*:It's somewhat common for soldiers to show signs of imminent madness, due to the hardships of life as a warrior. A widely endorsed suggestion is to surround the patient with their comrades-in-arms, who might provide cheer and a reminder of both duty and the support of friends. And, should the patient turn violent, they will most likely be subdued with minimal injury (to civilians).
*Aquatic Cognizance
*:Every one knows that water helps with aches in joints, what most people don't realize is that in terms of dwarven anatomy, the brain is a joint, thus having a dwarf swim until they recover may help, even more so if their brain is exposed so that the soothing water can [[Swimmer#Drowning|affect the joint better]]. Salt water is preferred, tests show.
*The Winchester Method
*:In many cases, madness has its roots in a deep feeling of powerlessness experienced by the patient during his schizophrenic delirium, with cases of patients hearing voices of Carps, Elephants and strange stories about [[Main:Boatmurdered|boats being murdered]]. Recent studies show that by safely giving the unfortunate patient the occasion [[Lever|to act on his own initiative]] and make him [[Magma|feel]] the consequences of his actions, dementia can be avoided.
*Stasis
*:Sometimes, the patients simply need time to think about their life. A good way of giving them all a long while to think (experts agree) that putting patients into [[Ice|cryo-stasis]] or encasing them in [[Obsidian|carbonite]] is the best way to combat rage, social rejection and [[Noble|other mental issues]].
*The Bilbo Method
*:Studies have shown that some dragons, in their infinite, ageless wisdom, have found solutions to common insanity and are even willing to impart said cures to dwarves stricken with any sort of madness. This method is often most useful when a dwarf who is having trouble making friends seeks to console himself with a resident dragon within the dwarf's own fortress.
*The [[Mist|Mist]]/[[Steam|Steam]] Method
*:In many (4) cases of mass hysteria a room with a mist or steam generator may calm many of them down, allowing them to calm down other people. It is still unknown as to why this sometimes works, but it is theorized that the mist/steam "cools them off" literally and figuratively.
*Deep Tissue Massage Therapy
*:It has come to the attention of some physicians that many psychological ailments may be caused by a large amount of toxins in the body. They have found with some success that a patient locked in a room and using advanced methods of [[Cave-in|massage]] therapy have gained some improvement. It is speculated that this pressure, caused by a professional deep tissue [[Miner|massage therapist]], will immediately release all toxins from the patients body. For best results the [[Miner|massage therapist]] should be one floor above the patient.
*The Flesh [[Statue]]
*:Ever wondered how do you add a [[Room#Quality|decoration]] for rooms, without stone, wood or metal? Having a dwarf standing still? Get a [[Bronze_colossus|fleshworker]], it will make them into a ☼Dwarf Flesh Statue☼ and then push them into a room, without using a [[Butcher's_shop|workshop]].
*Aromatherapy
*:Carefully selected [[forgotten_beast|aromas]] will soothe the minds of even the most disturbed dwarves.

Any new developments or experimental procedures should be reported to the Mountainhomes immediately for verification and cataloging. If even a single dwarf is spared the indignity of madness in this way, it will be worth it.

Siege

The Mastrod:

:''For catapults and ballistae, see [[Siege engine]].''

'''Sieges''' are large scale assaults on your fortress by other [[civilization]]s. Sieges are drawn from moving units advancing towards the fortress, whether from an army, a bandit group, or a necromancer's [[Tower (necromancy)|tower]]. They are announced with a full-screen message that differs depending on the attacking race, and the main screen showing the {{DFtext|SIEGE|6:4:1}} tag at the top for the duration of the siege.

Caravans will not arrive at a besieged fortress. They will arrive, though, if a siege is broken quickly enough, but it is possible to miss out entirely on a civilization's caravan for the year this way. Even if they do arrive before the siege, the attackers may kill them or chase them off if they can reach them. Consider this when deciding how you set up your [[trade depot]] and how heavily reliant your economy is on imported goods.

A civilization will be unable to lay siege if it can't reach your fortress site. Armies need to physically move to the location of your fortress; they are normally allowed a 30-tile radius of interaction (towers have 10 tiles), beyond which sieges are impossible. You will never get sieges if you embark on an island or in a valley which is completely surrounded by mountains. If you want to make sure that a certain civilization will be capable of laying siege to you, then look at the "neighbors" view of the [[Embark]] site finder when selecting your fortress site.

== Structure of a siege ==

*Siege forces usually consist of several 'squads'. Using the [[goblin]]s as an example, each squad consists of several goblins of one military class (swordsman, lasher, etc.), and often one 'squad leader' (typically an Elite or better, which need not be the same class as the squad being led).
*Occasionally, a squad will be mounted - this means each of its members will be riding a suitable [[creature]], though the creatures typically vary between members. The squad leader can be mounted, even if their squad is not. These mounts can change the combat dynamics, since some can fly, are [[building destroyer]]s, or have substantially different combat traits than their riders. For more info on mounted units, and the [[Fun]] they can unleash upon an ill-prepared defender, see: [[Mount]].
*Invaders can climb [[wall]]s and pits. This can be quite [[Fun]], if your fort defence relies on the same kind of walls and pits as previous versions.
*After being sufficiently "successful" at defending against the siege (killing sufficient attackers, waiting them out, or some combination thereof), the attackers will retreat. All of the remaining squads and groups will head for the map edges and leave, typically favoring the edge they entered from. Once all of the remaining attackers have decided to retreat, the "SIEGE" tag will go away.
*It is possible to have multiple sieges at the same time. If the attacking civilizations are at war with each other, they will start to fight with each other as well.
*Different races will favor different styles of attack during sieges. The following attack styles were observed in .40d; it remains to be seen if these traits are still present in current releases.
*You can turn off sieges and [[Forgotten beast]]s altogether by editing the [[d_init.txt]] file to change [INVADERS:YES] to [INVADERS:NO].

== [[Goblin]] sieges ==

Goblin sieges are announced with the message, "{{dftext|A vile force of darkness has arrived!|5:1}}"

Usually the tactics used by the goblins are no more sophisticated than charging in an open march toward your fortress and attempting to kill your [[dwarves]]. Goblins sieges often include groups of [[troll]]s, [[ogre]]s, or [[cave dragon]]s that can [[Building destroyer|break buildings]] and smash workshops. Unlike the squads, however, these 'groups' usually enter the map in a single tile, somewhat akin to arriving [[migrants]]. These war creatures usually possess random civilian classes, and show little of the organized behavior of the squads. Goblins may also bring elite human or even dwarven fighters as leaders of their squads, previously kidnapped by [[snatcher]]s, and if you're really lucky they may be commanded by something particularly [[Demon|fun]]. Goblin sieges usually involve [[mount]]ed squads, some of which can fly over whatever defenses you might have set up to stop them.

Interestingly, the goblin civilization lacks the {{token|SIEGER|e}} token, while large-scale attacks by them nevertheless activate the "SIEGE" state. This suggests that the token doesn't regulate the overall ability to send out sieging forces, but merely enables large attacking forces to set up camp and try to wait out a fort instead of charging blindly - the behaviour described in the paragraph on human sieges.

== [[Elf|Elven]] sieges ==

Elven sieges are announced with the message, "{{dftext|The elves have brought the full forces of their lands against you.|5:1}}"

It is possible to have elven attacks as well, but that usually requires some effort on part of the player, or for your starting civilization to have a pre-existing conflict with a nearby elven one. You can check this when you embark while looking at nearby civilizations, where it will read WAR next to the elf civilization, though it seems to be entirely dependent on how world gen plays out and embarking at a time when a war is happening. Another, possibly simpler (and more amusing) way to elven siege is to blatantly provoke them. If you don't want to be attacked by elves you should not offer them wooden goods or goods stored in wooden barrels or bins. You might also avoid clearing too much woodland, as elves will be offended if you do so.

Elves use stealth squads, a la goblin ambushes, to hide their numbers and locations. It should be noted, however, that unlike goblin ambushes which cap at four squads, elves can come in '''massive''' numbers, atop mighty (and tasty) [[unicorn]]s or other [[elephant|exotic beasts]]. Fortunately, unlike goblins and humans, who wear heavy armour and wield metal weapons that can cause considerable damage, the elves are very weak in battle. Their weapons and arrows are made of wood, which will simply bounce off any standard metal armour, and they march into battle wearing easily breakable wooden armour or even nothing but cloth robes and trousers.

== [[Human]] sieges ==

Human sieges are announced with the message, "{{dftext|The enemy have come and are laying siege to the fortress.|5:1}}"

Humans may also siege you if you let their [[diplomat]] die while visiting your fortress, if too many of their trade wagons get destroyed or if you trade with an elven nation the humans are at war with. Humans would sometimes set up a camp near the map edge they arrived on, harassing wandering dwarves and waiting for you to come to them instead of blindly charging toward your fortress. Humans often ride rather mundane animals, such as horses, camels (of both varieties), or war grizzly bears, and may bring along further war animals like trained cheetahs. Be aware that human siegers know of all traps that their diplomats have seen before, even their war animals are immune to those traps. If you had a human diplomat in your fort, best assume that your traps are useless against the invaders unless they were built after his last visit. A removed and rebuilt trap counts as "new", even if it's the same type of trap in the same tile.

== [[Necromancer]] sieges ==

Necromancer sieges are announced with the message, "{{dftext|The dead walk. Hide while you still can!|5:1}}"

Necromancers will only be able to siege you if you embark in an area near a tower. If no tower is present in the neighbors list, no necromancers will ever besiege your fortress.

Necromancers will besiege your fortress by sending [[undead]] to your fort or even coming themselves. Either way, undead sieges are a guaranteed source of [[Fun]]. The undead units will arrive from all sides of the map, slowly meandering towards your fortress. Undead sieges may arrive with as few as one zombie to as many as fifty or more- and if a necromancer is present with them, every dwarf that dies in battle is likely to be revived as a new zombie, complete with all the skills, attributes, and equipment it had in life. The undead in general are serious enemies that one cannot treat like goblin garbage. A legendary squad can take down unarmed zombies in equal numbers, but the large numbers that necromancers can bring are unmatchable. To make things worse, "elite" zombie fighters may carry ''weapons and armour'', a truly terrifying thought were there ever one.

It is recommended that you have <s>many traps</s> every single trap with the best available materials you could possibly build set in advance, and when the undead legions arrive, '''shut down everything'''. Be sure to shut down all of your butcher's shops, crypts, and refuse stockpiles, as necromancers can reanimate armies of body parts to destroy your fortress from the inside. Be also careful with fishery workshops, as reports of mussel shells rising from the dead are fairly common. Necromancers will raise any corpse or corpse part that they see, and simple proximity to undead can cause things like skin and hair to rise and attack the unfortunate butcher. It doesn't really matter how many zombies arrive; if you are not prepared, you will probably get slaughtered, as one zombie can easily become two zombies, then four, then eight and so on. If the zombies cannot attack your dwarves immediately, they will simply mill about on the surface until something living (wild animals included) comes too close or until they are all destroyed. Like other sieges, it is also possible to wait out necromancer sieges, though this can take a year or more. When fighting zombies that used to be your own dwarves, be sure not to let anyone who knew that dwarf fight them- it generates a strong negative thought on top of the reduction to sanity caused by fighting the living dead. Use blunt weapons whenever possible -- a mangled corpse is one that will stay dead, and with no functioning organs to damage the only other way to stop them is through decapitation or bisection.

Undead sieges can attack your fortress at any time, including before the second spring's elven caravan arrives, or even before the first dwarven caravan arrives in the fall of your first year (thus preventing its arrival). The number of undead sent will depend on your wealth and population, and early sieges tend to have as few as 3 undead; but can cause very much cheesy fun if a lone necromancer accompanies them (which isn't uncommon).

== [[Bandit]] sieges ==

Roving bandit groups nearby your fortress may also besiege your fortress. This can happen as early as ''the first year'', making them an excellent source of surprise [[Fun]].

Bandit groups are drawn from any entity with the {{token|BANDITRY|e}} and {{token|LOCAL_BANDITRY|e}} tokens. In unmodded games, these are [[goblin]]s, [[human]]s and [[kobold]]s, though other races (even [[dwarves]]) have been reported. Their announcement messages are the same as the messages for regular sieges of their race. Bandit sieges are generally smaller than a later-game full-blown siege, more similar to goblin [[ambush]]es in size, as there are fewer units from which to draw combatants. Bandits tend to be poorly equipped and skilled, some being recruits with no weapons or armour.

== [[Dwarf|Dwarven]] sieges ==
{{mod}}
Dwarven sieges will only arrive when you [[mod]] the game, because the game has been programmed to never cause sieges from the player's civilization. Unless you are playing with another civilization (for example, humans), dwarven sieges will cause a massive [[loyalty cascade]] even if you don't attack the invaders.

Dwarven sieges are announced with the same message as human sieges ("{{dftext|The enemy have come and are laying siege to the fortress.|5:1}}"). They also behave very similar to human sieges, possibly indicating that dwarves and humans have the same AI when invading a site. They even bring mounts, whereas dwarven cavalry is not implemented for the player.

'''Trading''' in Dwarf Fortress first occurs in the first [[Calendar|autumn]] after establishing your fortress, with the arrival of the [[dwarf|Dwarven]] [[Trading#Caravans|caravan]]. Trading is a good way to acquire resources that are not readily available in the local area. It also allows for more freedom in selecting starting gear and skills at [[embark]], since neglected items can be obtained through trade later.

'''Trader''' is the term used at your [[trade depot]] to refer to your fortress representative when dealing with merchants in a visiting caravan ({{key|r}} - "''Trader requested at Depot"''). As a [[profession]], the term applies to visiting merchants and dwarves whose highest [[skill]] is [[Appraiser]].

== Trade depot ==
{{Main|Trade depot}}
Building a [[trade depot]] is a pre-requisite for trade with caravans that arrive at your fortress.

While it may be convenient to build a Trade Depot outside at first, it is usually a good idea to move it inside or secure it with [[wall]]s, [[bridge]]s and other fortifications to protect caravans and your goods from [[steals drink|thirsty animals]], [[thief|thieves]] and [[goblin]]s.

Everything that is on your map belongs to you, except:
* the items that are on merchant animals and wagons
* the items that are on the trade depot (they belong to the caravan until they are moved out of it)
* items worn by non-fortress units are initially forbidden, but can be claimed via unforbidding and dumping them

==Trading flowchart ==
{{:Trading/Flowchart}}

==Trader to depot==
Before you can begin trading, your fortress's representative trader must be at the [[trade depot]]. Select the [[trade depot]] with {{K|q}} and then {{k|r}}equest the trader. Be sure that {{k|b}} reads "Only broker may trade" if you want your [[broker]] to represent your fortress. If it reads "Anyone can trade", a random, probably unskilled dwarf will volunteer to conduct the trade. Pressing {{k|b}} will toggle this setting. Once your trader has arrived, select the depot again with {{k|q}} and enter the {{k|t}}rade menu. In the trade menu select the items to offer from the right and the desired items from the left. All caravans have a weight limit which cannot be exceeded, and the allowed additional weight is displayed in the lower right corner. If your broker (specifically, not necessarily your trader) has at least Novice or better [[Appraisal]] skill, the value of all items will be displayed. Once the proposal is ready, press {{K|t}} to propose the trade, but merchants will not agree unless they make adequate profit. Be sure to use '''trade''', not '''offer''' {{K|o}}, as this will make a gift of the selected items. The amount of acceptable profit is determined by the trader's [[Broker skills|skills]] and the merchant's mood, described below. Merchants may attempt to propose counteroffers if they do not accept the proposal, which can then be accepted, rejected, or further amended by the trader.

With more experienced traders and pleased merchants, even marginally profitable trades can be successful, and counterproposals can be rejected safely, offering the same trade again. Note however that a low profit margin for the traders may not be desirable - it has been suggested that both export and profit numbers influence the size of next years caravan and, in the case of the dwarven caravan, immigration numbers.{{Verify}}

Goods brought by caravans rarely have base quality higher than superior, and decorations on a good rarely exceed superior as well.

== Trading cue colors ==

* {{DFtext|Brown|6:0}} Items have been created (or modified) by your fortress. They can be traded away or offered as a gift.
* {{DFtext|Gray|7:0}} Items were created by another source. They can be traded, but if one of these items has been selected, the entire selection cannot be offered as a gift.
* {{DFtext|Purple|5:0}} Items are under a no-export mandate. If they are traded away it will result in disciplinary action (see [[justice]]) against the dwarf that brought the item to the depot.
* {{DFtext|Green|2:0}} Items have just been gifted to the caravan and they will not trade it back.
* {{DFtext|Red|4:0}} Items have been seized from another caravan and cannot be traded as is; you will need to decorate them or turn them into other items for them to become "valid" trading items.

Note that containers (barrels, bins, etc.) will be displayed according to the origin of the ''container'', not the contents. So a foreign barrel holding locally-produced beer will display as foreign (white). Once you {{k|v}}iew the container, the locally-made contents are displayed as local (brown).

== Merchant mood ==
If your trader has Novice or better [[Judge of intent]] skill, there will be a line added below the merchant's dialogue describing the caravan's attitude. Their attitude rises with successful trades (especially if they get lots of profit) and falls when you propose deals they don't like. You can never make a deal that's at loss for the merchant, even if they are at the highest possible mood.

* (trader) seems ecstatic with the trading
* (trader) seems very happy about the trading
* (trader) seems pleased with the trading
* (trader) seems willing to trade
* (trader) seems to be rapidly losing patience
* (trader) is not going to take much more of this
* (trader) is unwilling to trade

The happier you make a merchant, the less profit margin he will demand in a trade. If merchants reach the lowest level, no further trade will be possible, and they will immediately pack up and leave your depot. Since annoyed traders are more likely to reject deals, you should be generous in initial negotiations. Skilled negotiators seem less likely to offend traders with unsuccessful deals.

An easy way to capitalize on this mood system is to perform several partial trades. First trade for a few items, offering goods twice the value of the items you ask for (e.g. offer 2000☼ for 1000☼ of his stuff). This will likely make the merchant ecstatic about trading with you. Perform the next trades with a vengeance. With the merchant in such a good mood, he is more likely to counteroffer than reject a trade outright.

== Seizing items ==

Pressing {{K|s}} from the trade menu will seize the selected items of the merchant's. If you seize goods from a caravan, the merchant will respond "Take what you want. I can't stop you." and then leave immediately without the seized goods. Items cannot be seized from the dwarven caravan, and other races will not buy goods stolen from one of their caravans (then marked in red) unless they are tricked into asking for them via counteroffer, or the items are "laundered" by decoration or used to create other goods. Seizing goods will hurt diplomatic relations, but is not grounds for an automatic [[siege]].

Pressing the seize button while no goods are selected will result in the merchant interpreting your seizure as a joke. This apparently does nothing to benefit or hinder your trading.

As a side note, if you deconstruct your trade depot with a caravan in it, all the caravan's items will drop to the ground, to be readily hauled away by your Dwarves. This does not mark the items as stolen, and the caravan will leave. However, ''next'' year's caravan is partly based on the profits from the previous year - so if you are relying on that race's caravans for needed items, you're hurting yourself in the long run.

Another way to steal without marking as stolen is to forbid the trade depot just before they leave, causing them to leave their goods at the depot.

If you're using the search plugin for [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]] (e.g. from the [[Utility:Lazy Newb Pack|Lazy Newb Pack]]), be warned that {{K|s}} means "seize" and '''NOT''' "search", and there is '''no warning''' for it. Use {{K|q}} to search the merchant's goods and {{K|w}} to search yours.

Note that the civilization attached to a particular caravan will keep track of the value of items the caravan was carrying when they set out to trade, and they will compare this value with the value of items they return home with. Regardless of what method you use to confiscate items from a caravan, even if you came to possess the goods through no fault of your own (an [[ambush]] killed the traders and guards, for example) the parent civilization may decide that you stole from them and send a [[siege]] instead of a caravan the following year. It is prudent to take measures to protect caravans visiting your lands!

==Offering items==

{{key|o}} You can also give away items, as gifts to the leaders of the [[civilization]] you are trading with. This presumably helps relations between yourself and the other faction, though there is not yet a clear correlation between the value of the offerings and the improvement to relations. The exact effects of offerings on trading are unknown but it is believed due to the offerings' net trade value being counted towards the traders' profit, possibly with a modifier (possibly a multiplier of more than 1 as a bonus or less than 1 to compensate for the improved relations){{Verify}}, which in turn increases the quantity and variety of trade goods brought by next year's caravan. Also the [[Monarch]] requires offerings to be made before their arrival. You cannot offer items that were not made at your fortress; the traders do not want your spare [[Goblinite]] clothes..

The value of an offering for the purpose of becoming the capital is adjusted by your current export agreement.

Unless you are looking for [[fun]], under no conditions should you offer or trade items which are wooden or used wood in their creation (clear glass, for example) to [[elves]], as this will insult the traders, and may cause them to leave or even damage relations enough to provoke a war between you and the elven civilization you traded with. They will accept their own "grown wood" items in trade without insult, however.

== Miscellaneous trading advice ==
* Thieves and thieving critters tend to follow caravans. Expect assaults and intruders.
* Create your trading depot inside your fort, preferably in the beginning. Place a 3-tile wide path (which must be free of obstructions such as stairways, traps, minecart tracks and boulders) to the entrance of the fort and position war dogs along it (chains do not block wagons); this will help to protect the traders and keep the depot close to your supplies.
* Avoid having multiple wagon paths to your depot. Caravan [[wagon]]s cannot move through each other, and if two wagons happen to meet at a fork they may become gridlocked against each other, resulting in the destruction of wagons and loss of trade opportunities.
* All caravans will bring extra food (meat and edible plants), wooden logs, and cloth/leather (for making clothes) if the supplies of your fortress are low enough, independent of whether or not you requested them. This does not apply in the case that the weight limit is exceeded by (other) items you requested. The supply situation, as observed by traders, is based solely on the number of unforbidden items in your fortress, stockpiled or not; thus, it is possible to trick caravans into thinking your supplies are low by [[forbid]]ding all of your relevant stocks immediately prior to their arrival.
**In order to '''avoid''' this behavior, you should make sure that, for each dwarf in your fortress, you have the following ''unforbidden'' items:
*** 5 pieces of food - meat, fish, plants, or "other" in your [[Status]] screen (even though "other" includes inedible items)
*** 1 wood log
*** 5 pieces of cloth, pieces of leather, or complete sets of [[wear|pristine]] clothing (shirt+pants+shoe)
* Define your trade depot as a burrow. When traders arrive, you can add your broker or another dwarf, perhaps one you want to train in trading, to the burrow. They will head to the depot immediately, and stay there until you remove them from the burrow.
* Each trade you make (regardless of value) will increase your trader's skills by 50, distributed among Comedian, Flatterer, Intimidator, Judge of Intent, Negotiator, and Persuader. Each skill seems to gain around 5-15 experience points, but the sum will always be 50. The skill gain occurs as soon as the "t" button is pressed - if the offer is rejected, the dwarf will still gain 50 points. If the same offer is subsequently accepted, no additional skill will be gained.
* Selecting "only broker may trade" ensures that you will start negotiations with a decently-skilled trader, but also requires a significant wait while your broker makes his way to the depot (possibly months if he is "[[on break]]"). Selecting "anyone can trade" will result in a poorly-trained trader arriving immediately. Once your fortress is producing enough goods to buy out the caravan, waiting for your broker is unnecessary; allowing your commoners to trade spreads out the trading skill gains and eliminates the micromanagement of trying to get your broker to the depot in a timely manner.

== Caravans ==
Each friendly race will send a caravan per year, linked to one season, which is autumn for dwarves, summer for humans, spring for elves, and winter for goblins. It is rare for your civilization to be on peaceful terms with goblins, however. In the first year, only a dwarven caravan will arrive, although it will only arrive in late autumn, about a month later than in previous versions. Caravans will only show up if that race considers the fortress site accessible (as denoted on the embark screen), with the exception of dwarves, who always arrive unless they are [[extinct]].{{verify}} Caravans appear to enter the map from a random direction which does not coincide with the relative direction of the originating [[civilization]], and they may appear from different directions and z-levels each year. However, they will always arrive at a location with a wagon-navigable path to the Trade Depot when one is available. Caravans may leave without trading if it takes too long to reach the trade depot, or if they become spooked by wildlife or corpses. Caravans will embark on their journey back exactly one month after their arrival, whether they have succeeded in reaching the depot or not.

Note that if traders or their animals are prevented from leaving, they will eventually go [[insane]].

Also worth mention is the pathing behavior of the entire caravan. If one member of the caravan reaches an obstacle in their chosen path (i.e. a raised drawbridge that was lowered when they entered the map) the entire caravan will re-path, instead of encountering the obstacle one by one. This behavior can be useful when attempting to free "stuck" wagons--a trader on foot encountering a locked door will cause the stuck wagons to turn around and path to a different exit, if available.

==== [[Dwarves]] ====
:''"Greetings from the mountainhome. Your efforts are legend there. Let us trade!"''

The dwarven caravan:
* arrives in [[Calendar|autumn]].
* carries metal bars, [[leather]], weapons and armor, food and booze, and more. Dwarves alone may bring [[steel]] and steel goods. They can still bring steel (and steel goods) and [[pig iron]] bars even if they do not have access to [[iron]], but will not bring iron products.
* usually carries a selection of books that your civilization has access to. This can include books written in previous forts of yours within the same civilization.
* is heavily guarded.
* sends a liaison who will speak with the [[Expedition leader]], [[Mayor]], [[Baron]], [[Count]], or [[Duke]] to negotiate an import-export agreement (unless the [[Monarch]] is present).
* influences the number of immigrants received (if the caravan leaves intact).
* will not cause sieges when repeatedly destroyed or lost.
* is the only caravan to arrive during a fortress' first year.
* always arrives regardless of embark location unless the dwarven civilization is [[extinct]].
* cannot have its goods seized from the trade menu.
* may not arrive if your civilization lacks any notable figures.

==== [[elf|Elves]] ====
[[Image:Evil_elves.png|thumb|400px|A typical elven caravan.]]
:''"Greetings. We are enchanted by your more ethical works. We've come to trade."''

The elven caravan:
* arrives in the [[Calendar|spring]].
* carries [[cloth]], [[rope]]s, various above-ground seeds, [[plant]]s and their byproducts, [[log]]s, [[wood]]en goods & [[weapon]]s, clothing and [[armor]], and may carry tame exotic [[creature]]s.
* Is unguarded.
* does not accept some items in trade:

Elven traders do not like to be offered any tree byproducts unless they are "grown", which only elves can produce. Forbidden (dwarf-made) items include:

* [[Wood]]en items (including subterranean mushrooms such as [[tower-cap]]s)
* Items derived from wood - [[ash]] and [[charcoal]], as well as [[lye]], [[potash]], and [[pearlash]]
* Items made from clear and crystal [[glass]] (due to the [[pearlash]] used) - green glass appears to be perfectly acceptable
* Items [[decoration|decorated]] with any of the above materials
* [[Obsidian]] shortswords (since they have wooden handles)
* Tallow [[Soap]] (made with [[lye]]), but not Plant Soap{{bug|8571}}

Offering or trading forbidden items will cause the mood of the trader to drop rapidly, causing them to refuse to trade any more that season and leave immediately. Additionally you will be called uncouth, crude, and barbaric for not understanding their customs.

However, [[stone]] and [[metal]] items, even when [[charcoal]] is used in production, are acceptable (since the elves are unfamiliar with metalworking, and do not know that charcoal is used to make metal items). Items made from [[silk]] are acceptable, as are all non-wooden plant-derived products such as [[cloth]] and [[thread]]. Items made of bone (totems too), horn, shell or leather are acceptable, so are meat and fish. You can also transport your goods to the [[trade depot]] in a wooden [[bin]], as long as you do not try to sell the bin. Living animals are acceptable, as long as the [[cage]] or [[trap]] is not made of [[wood]].

Be especially careful with reselling decorated items from other caravans, as non-wood/glass items may have decorations of wood or clear/crystal glass. Note that items elven caravans sell ''can'' be resold to them, as the elves know that they were made in an elf-kosher way.

Because they do not utilize wagons, elven caravans have a much smaller weight limit than dwarven and human ones, making trading heavy items like furniture problematic.

:''"Once a beautiful tree, and now? It is a rude bauble, fit only for your kind."''

==== [[Human]]s ====
:''"Greetings. The craftsdwarfship of the dwarves is unparalleled. Let's make a deal!"''

The human caravan:
* arrives in [[Calendar|summer]].
* carries metal bars, sand, [[leather]], cloth, wood, food and booze, books, ropes, waterskins, quivers, backpacks, metal weapons and clothing and armor, cages and a few domestic animals.
* carries only large-sized clothing and armor, which is unusable by dwarves.
* is moderately guarded.

{{mod}}

==== [[Goblin]]s and [[Kobold]]s ====
A goblin caravan will only arrive if you mod the game, primarily because their entity lacks the [[entity token]]s needed to make use of pack animals and wagons. That, and the token {{token|BABYSNATCHER|e}} makes them hostile to all non-goblin civilizations. These same caveats apply to kobolds (whose {{token|UTTERANCES|c}} and {{token|ITEM_THIEF|e}} tags make them hostile to every civilization).

The goblin caravan:
*will arrive every season, four times per year
*unguarded
*brings mostly food and cloth
*does not send a liaison or a guild representative
*does not make import/export agreements

==== Modded [[civilization]]s ====
If you [[modding|add]] additional civilizations to the game, they may also send caravans to you. Apparently, up to 3 caravans can visit the fortress during the year: one from player's civ ([[dwarf|dwarven]] caravan in vanilla DF), one from civilization with [[Entity token#TREE_CAP_DIPLOMACY|[TREE_CAP_DIPLOMACY]]] ([[elf|elves]] in vanilla DF), and one from civilization without this [[entity token|token]] ([[human]]s in vanilla DF).

The following [[entity token]]s affect the appearance of the caravans:

* [[Entity token#COMMON_DOMESTIC_PACK|[COMMON_DOMESTIC_PACK]]] - Allows the civilization to use domestic pack animals. If an entity lacks pack animals, it will be unable to send caravans (showing as {{DFtext|No Trade|6:1}} at the [[embark]] screen), unless it has domesticated any suitable animal species.
* [[Entity token#COMMON_DOMESTIC_PULL|[COMMON_DOMESTIC_PULL]]] - Allows the civilization to use domestic animals to pull [[wagon]]s, assuming their [[Ethic#KILL_PLANT|KILL_PLANT ethic]] permits them to use wagons in the first place.
* [[Entity token#MERCHANT_BODYGUARDS|[MERCHANT_BODYGUARDS]]] - Caravan will be guarded by [[soldier]]s.

== Nobles ==
[[Outpost liaison]]s (from your own civilization) and foreign Merchant Nobles (if added with the [[Position token#TRADE|TRADE responsibility]]) will arrive with the caravan to speak to your [[noble]] dwarves (and they ''will'' speak to those dwarves, even if they have to wait at their bedside in the hospital for months after the caravan has left), appearing on the map edge at the same time as the caravan (though in a different location). Meeting with them allows you to request specific items for the next caravan to bring (at a premium price) or take requests for production for the next caravan (for which the merchants will pay a premium).

Current trade agreements can be viewed through the Civilization menu ({{k|c}}). These trade agreements are cleared when a liaison of the corresponding civilization enters the screen, so they are generally not accessible after the caravan has arrived.

In the event that your leader is replaced, killed, or taken by a [[strange mood]], the liaison may decide to leave your fortress [[stymied|"unhappy"]].{{bug|576}} Curiously, this will '''not''' occur if your leader is otherwise unable to perform the "conduct meeting" task. You can currently lock a liaison in a room and he will wait years to attend the meeting your noble is constantly conducting (and all subsequent diplomats appear to wait in line for the first to finish); this behavior is presumably a bug.{{bug|8947}}

Whether having successfully met with your leader or given up, a liaison who has decided to leave but is prevented from reaching the map edge will eventually go [[insane]].

== Destruction ==
If caravans are destroyed (intentionally or unintentionally), the items may remain for use. Traders caught in a [[cave-in]] will flee as if they were attacked, but will leave all the items dropped by the caravan behind. Pack animals carrying items are affected just like a normal tamed [[mule]] and must be killed in the cave-in for them to drop items on the ground. It is however much more likely that the pack animals will only be stunned or rendered unconscious, and flee shortly after recovering from the hit.

While caravans can defend themselves, they don't like being ambushed. If a caravan becomes terrified by wildlife or horrified by corpses it will turn around and flee the map. Any event resulting in the death of any merchant or pack animal will also cause them to retreat and forget about trading with you for the season. Repeated caravan destruction (intentional or unintentional) will strain diplomatic relations and may result in a [[siege]].

Ambushing or seizing a caravan and letting a survivor escape seems to have a more detrimental effect than simply annihilating the whole caravan. (Presumably because you've left a witness to report what happened.)

== Caravan Delay ==
If a caravan has arrived at your trade depot and is unable to leave for about two months after they finished packing up their goods, the merchants and animals will go insane. This can result in a bunch of merchants attacking your dwarves, or just standing around moping until they starve to death. It is not known for certain if this hurts diplomatic relations, but most likely it's the same as any case where the entire caravan fails to return home.

If you have locked the caravan into your fortress to hold out against a siege, it's a good idea to station a squad of soldiers near the trade depot in case the merchants [[Insanity#Types|go berserk]]. You may also want to make the depot a restricted area to encourage civilians to go around it. Alternatively, you can design the trade depot using drawbridges, so that it can be sealed off from the rest of the fortress during a siege.

If you want the merchants to leave safely, you can build four or more tunnels to each corner of the map, connected to your fortress only by drawbridges. As long as there is no other way to enter and exit your fortress, invaders and merchants will both go towards any tunnel that you activate. You can lock the merchants into the trade depot, and then open a tunnel entrance on one side of the map to make the invaders head towards that tunnel. When they get close to it, you can close it, and then open the entrance on the other side of the map, and let the traders out of the depot. If your fortress and depot are in the middle of the map, this will give the traders quite a head-start to get away.

Merchants can leave the map from any map edge-- including underground and aboveground map edges. If an unobstructed path through your fortress reaches a cavern edge, then blocking all overland paths will cause the merchants to depart underground. This can be useful, if you're suffering a prolonged siege; it can also be dangerous, if your underground regions are less secure than your surface. While it requires more preparation, an elevated bridge to a map edge can also allow traders to depart in peace.

Caravan guards cannot be starved, dehydrated, or driven to insanity if prevented from leaving, their employers and animals will however.

If an large amount of items is sold / offered to the caravan, it may take a while to load it all, especially if you chose to keep your precious bins and traded your items individually.

== Bugs ==

*Caravans become terrified/horrified very easily, abandon their wagons, and flee. {{bug|7185}}
*Aggressive, untrainable creatures (captured goblins, for example) cannot be traded; when a dwarf attempts to move the caged animal to the Depot, the creature is set free.
*Wagons can occasionally become "stuck" on other wagons, walls, etc. Stuck wagons eventually deconstruct, leaving their merchandise behind. {{Bug|5687}}
*If a caravan attempts to leave in late Winter/early Spring, they may try to path over any large frozen body of water. If the water thaws while the caravan is on it, the caravan will become magically stuck in mid-air until either the water refreezes or a floor is built underneath it. At this point, if they are still alive, they will leave the map normally.
*When merchants leave with an animal, the merchants seem to be dragging their beast of burden instead of leading it. If the animal is incapacitated but not dead, the merchant will continue to walk at the same speed, dragging the unconscious beast
*If a merchant's chosen map edge exit is guarded by a hostile creature (including those on a [[restraint]]), the merchant will wander back and forth repeatedly and eventually go insane rather than path to an alternate exit.
* Animals bought from merchants don't always become available for use.{{bug|10162}}

== Loyalty cascade ==
{{main|Faction#Loyalty cascade|l1=Faction}}
If you order your military to kill merchants from your own civilization, a bizarre result of the way loyalty is handled makes the members of your military who attacked the traders become enemies of your civilization, but members of your fort's government (dwarves of this [[faction]] are referred to as ''separatists''). As enemies, they attack your other dwarves (''citizens''), but as members of the fort, they still follow orders. Allowing citizen militia dwarves to attack the separatists will give them opposite loyalties of the separatists, (i.e. loyal to civ, not to fort), or ''loyalists'', who do '''not''' follow orders. And then, if a separatist or loyalist kill a citizen, they become enemies of the civ '''and''' fort, making them ''Renegades'', who are essentially complete enemies of the citizens.

To prevent the cascade from spreading, order the original separatists away from the fortress and let them fight amongst themselves. If the results are renegades, it is okay to allow other dwarves to kill them (by stationing them nearby). If the results are separatists/loyalists, then you will need to separate them somehow.

== Exploits ==

*Deconstructing the Depot will cause merchants to leave your fortress and abandon any goods in the Depot because items are not available until the building is fully deconstructed. However any animals they had caged will still belong to the merchants and only become friendly, you won't actually own them. According to Toady One, this is actually working as intended, and is not really an exploit or bug: "...the reckoning comes when they return with lesser value, and it has the same negative effect (it'll be listed as a disaster rather than an intentional seizing -- the depot could be destroyed, for instance -- but it counts for the same value if I remember). The overall wording could be changed and the interaction could be deepened to recognize this or that, but it's working as intended."[http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=293#c8393]

*If you wait until the merchants leave the map, you can "claim" caged animals by linking a lever to the cage and opening it, the animals will be released in a tamed state. Check the {{k|u}}nit screen before releasing them; if the creatures still show as Merchant creatures, they will wander off the map when released; if they show as Tame creatures, they will stay once released.

*If you lock them in your fortress for a minute or two (real time), the merchants MAY drop items and leave behind pack animals (Both of which are yours for the taking!) Note: Results are not consistent.

|-
| {{text anchor|BABY}}
| Caste
| integer
| Age at which creature is considered a child. Default is zero. One can think of this as the duration of the baby stage.

|-
| {{text anchor|BABYNAME}}
| Caste
| singular:plural
| Defines a new name for a creature in baby state at the caste level. For non-caste-specific baby names, see GENERAL_BABY_NAME.

|-
| {{text anchor|BEACH_FREQUENCY}}
| Caste
| integer
| Creature may be subject to [[beaching]], becoming stranded in shores where they will eventually air-drown. The number indicates the frequency of it occurring. Presumably requires the creature to be aquatic. Used for [[orca]]s, [[sperm whale]]s and [[sea nettle jellyfish]].

|-
| {{text anchor|BENIGN}}
| Caste
|
| The creature is non-aggressive by default and will never automatically be engaged by companions or soldiers. It will run away from any creatures that are not friendly to it, and will only defend itself if it becomes enraged. Can be thought of as the counterpoint of the {{token|LARGE_PREDATOR|c}} tag. When tamed, animals with this tag will be useless for fortress defense.

|-
| {{text anchor|BIOME}}
| Creature
|
* [[biome token]]
| Select a [[Biome]] the creature may appear in.

|-
| {{text anchor|BLOOD}}

|
| Seems to be required to make the creature denouncable as a creature of the night.

|-
| {{text anchor|BODY}}
| Caste
| body parts
| Draws body parts from OBJECT:BODY files (such as body_default.txt)
'''Example:'''<br />
[BODY:BODY_WITH_HEAD_FLAG:HEART:GUTS:BRAIN:MOUTH] <br />
This is the body from a [[purring maggot]]. It creates a body with head, a heart, some guts, a brain, and a mouth. That's all a maggot needs.

|-
| {{text anchor|BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER}}
| Caste
|
*ATTRIBUTE
*lowest:lower:low:median:high:higher:highest
| These body modifiers give individual creatures different characteristics. In the case of HEIGHT, BROADNESS and LENGTH, the modifier is also a percentage change to the BODY_SIZE of the individual creature. The seven numbers afterward give a distribution of ranges. Each interval has an equal chance of occurring.
'''Example:'''<br />
[BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:HEIGHT:90:95:98:100:102:105:110] <br />
''HEIGHT'' : marks the height to be changed <br />
''90:95:98:100:102:105:110'' : sets the range from the shortest (90% of the average height) to the tallest (110% of the average height) creature variation.

|-
| {{text anchor|BODY_DETAIL_PLAN}}

'''Example:'''<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE] <br />
This creates the detailed body of a [[fox]], the skin, fat, muscle, bones and cartilage out of the vertebrate tissues.<br />
A [[Purring maggot|maggot]] would only need:<br />
''[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:EXOSKELETON_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE]''

|-
| {{text anchor|BODY_SIZE}}
| Caste
| years:days:size
| Sets size at a given age. Size is in cubic centimeters, and for normal body materials is roughly equal to the creature's average weight in grams.
'''Example:'''<br />
[BODY_SIZE:0:0:10000]<br />
[BODY_SIZE:1:168:50000]<br />
[BODY_SIZE:12:0:220000]<br />
This describes the size of a [[minotaur]]. His birth size would be 10,000 cm<sup>3</sup> (~10 kg). At 1 year and 168 days old he would be 50,000 cm<sup>3</sup> (~50 kg). And as an adult (at 12 years old) he would be 220,000 cm<sup>3</sup> and weigh roughly 220 kg.

|-
| {{text anchor|FLIER}}
| Caste
|
| Allows a creature to fly, independent of it having wings or not. Fortress Mode pathfinding only partially incorporates flying - flying creatures need a land path to exist between them and an area in order to access it, but as long as one such path exists, they do not need to use it, instead being able to fly over intervening obstacles. Winged creatures with this token can lose their ability to fly if their wings are crippled or severed. Winged creatures without this token will be unable to fly.

| Creature
| ascii character
| If present, the being glows in the dark (generally used for Adventure Mode). The tile is what replaces the being's current tile when it is obscured from your sight by darkness. The default setting for kobolds (a yellow quotation mark) provides a nice "glowing eyes" effect. The game is also hardcoded to automatically convert quotation mark GLOWTILES into apostrophes if the creature has lost one eye. This works at the generic creature level - for caste-specific glow tiles, use CASTE_GLOWTILE instead.

__FORCETOC__
Dwarven '''personalities''' are determined by beliefs, goals, and facets. These are distinct from [[attributes]]. In general, personality traits do not have as important a gameplay effect as attributes, though many of the gameplay effects of personality traits are yet unknown.

Personality traits are shown in a dwarf's [[thoughts and preferences]] description page, which can be accessed by {{k|v}}iewing that dwarf then {{k|p}}, {{k|z}}, {{k|Enter}}, or from the {{k|u}}nit menu with {{k|v}}iew, {{k|Enter}}.

==Beliefs==

Each belief has a range from −50 to 50. The value triggers a report in "thoughts and preferences" depending on where it falls in these seven levels:

{| class="wikitable"
! Value Range !! Values in Range !! Probability !! Effect
|-
| +41 to +50 || 10 || 0.4% || Highest
|-
| +26 to +40 || 15 || 2% || Very High
|-
| +11 to +25 || 15 || 8.5% || High
|-
| −10 to +10 || 21 || 78% || Neutral
|-
| −25 to −11 || 15 || 8.5% || Low
|-
| −40 to −26 || 15 || 2% || Very Low
|-
| −50 to −41 || 10 || 0.4% || Lowest
|}

Beliefs are also influenced by cultural values via the use of the VALUE [[entity token]]. For example, dwarven civilizations hold craftsdwarfship in the highest regard, whereas goblins hold the ideas of fairness and sacrifice in utter disdain. If an individual dwarf's belief differs significantly from the civilization's beliefs, then that belief gets highlighted in cyan in the thought and personality screen.

Certain beliefs can conflict with personality facets — see below.

==Goals==
Some creatures dream of accomplishing certain goals in their life, and these goals can presumably affect their behavior. Dwarves will receive a happy thought upon completion of goals and receive the moniker of "and this goal was realized" in the personality description following their original goal. It is not certain yet whether goals are limited to one per entity.

If a creature has such dreams, they will be listed in the Thoughts and Preferences page.

|}

If said goal has actually been fulfilled, the description will include "and this dream was realized".

==Facets==

Each personality facet has a value from 0 to 100. The value triggers a report in "thoughts and preferences" depending on where it falls in these seven levels:

{| class="wikitable"
! Value Range !! Values in Range !! Probability !! Effect
|-
| 91-100 || 10 || 0.4% || Highest
|-
| 76-90 || 15 || 2% || Very High
|-
| 61-75 || 15 || 8.5% || High
|-
| 40-60 || 21 || 78% || Neutral
|-
| 25-39 || 15 || 8.5% || Low
|-
| 10-24 || 15 || 2% || Very Low
|-
| 0-9 || 10 || 0.4% || Lowest
|}

The 40−60 range does not cause a report.

Facets are also influenced by species via the use of the PERSONALITY [[creature token]]. For example, dwarves are slightly more greedy than average with a median of 55 in that trait, whereas goblins aren't likely to help others out — their altruism median is a mere 25, and is capped at 50.

Facets also have an effect on which social skills are learned in social interaction, and determine whether certain actions may give a good or bad [[thought]]. Facets may have other, more subtle effects on creature behavior, which are currently not entirely understood.

Certain facets are capable of ''conflicting'' with the dwarf's beliefs. The effect of this is not yet known.

__FORCETOC__
Dwarven '''personalities''' are determined by beliefs, goals, and facets. These are distinct from [[attributes]]. In general, personality traits do not have as important a gameplay effect as attributes, though many of the gameplay effects of personality traits are yet unknown.

Personality traits are shown in a dwarf's [[thoughts and preferences]] description page, which can be accessed by {{k|v}}iewing that dwarf then {{k|p}}, {{k|z}}, {{k|Enter}}, or from the {{k|u}}nit menu with {{k|v}}iew, {{k|Enter}}.

==Beliefs==

Each belief has a range from −50 to 50. The value triggers a report in "thoughts and preferences" depending on where it falls in these seven levels:

{| class="wikitable"
! Value Range !! Values in Range !! Probability !! Effect
|-
| +41 to +50 || 10 || 0.4% || Highest
|-
| +26 to +40 || 15 || 2% || Very High
|-
| +11 to +25 || 15 || 8.5% || High
|-
| −10 to +10 || 21 || 78% || Neutral
|-
| −25 to −11 || 15 || 8.5% || Low
|-
| −40 to −26 || 15 || 2% || Very Low
|-
| −50 to −41 || 10 || 0.4% || Lowest
|}

Beliefs are also influenced by cultural values via the use of the VALUE [[entity token]]. For example, dwarven civilizations hold craftsdwarfship in the highest regard, whereas goblins hold the ideas of fairness and sacrifice in utter disdain. If an individual dwarf's belief differs significantly from the civilization's beliefs, then that belief gets highlighted in cyan in the thought and personality screen.

Certain beliefs can conflict with personality facets — see below.

==Goals==
Some creatures dream of accomplishing certain goals in their life, and these goals can presumably affect their behavior. Dwarves will receive a happy thought upon completion of goals and receive the moniker of "and this goal was realized" in the personality description following their original goal. It is not certain yet whether goals are limited to one per entity.

If a creature has such dreams, they will be listed in the Thoughts and Preferences page.

|}

If said goal has actually been fulfilled, the description will include "and this dream was realized".

==Facets==

Each personality facet has a value from 0 to 100. The value triggers a report in "thoughts and preferences" depending on where it falls in these seven levels:

{| class="wikitable"
! Value Range !! Values in Range !! Probability !! Effect
|-
| 91-100 || 10 || 0.4% || Highest
|-
| 76-90 || 15 || 2% || Very High
|-
| 61-75 || 15 || 8.5% || High
|-
| 40-60 || 21 || 78% || Neutral
|-
| 25-39 || 15 || 8.5% || Low
|-
| 10-24 || 15 || 2% || Very Low
|-
| 0-9 || 10 || 0.4% || Lowest
|}

The 40−60 range does not cause a report.

Facets are also influenced by species via the use of the PERSONALITY [[creature token]]. For example, dwarves are slightly more greedy than average with a median of 55 in that trait, whereas goblins aren't likely to help others out — their altruism median is a mere 25, and is capped at 50.

Facets also have an effect on which social skills are learned in social interaction, and determine whether certain actions may give a good or bad [[thought]]. Facets may have other, more subtle effects on creature behavior, which are currently not entirely understood.

Certain facets are capable of ''conflicting'' with the dwarf's beliefs. The effect of this is not yet known.

The Mastrod:

== Animals category ==

This definitely isn't something people should have to add manually to every page. What pages are you tagging, exactly? I saw you tag some animal men, so I'm not sure what exactly is supposed to be in this category. —[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 15:36, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Some animals (such as [[Aye-aye]], [[Aye-aye man]], [[Giant aye-aye]]) were not in the category at all. Others had 1 of the 3 variants in the category, and not the other 2 (for example [[Barn owl]] was there, but [[Barn owl man]] and [[Giant barn owl]] were not). I also was not sure if animal men should be in the category or not, but seeing as some were already there, I decided to add the rest. I also noticed something that I wasn't sure how to fix. [[Blue jay]] is the counterpart to [[Bluejay man]] and [[Giant bluejay]], but because the root is different (blue jay vs bluejay), they don't appear on each other's pages. —[[User:The Mastrod|The Mastrod]] 00:06, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

:My point is that it should be possible to add with at least one of the templates that's already on the creature pages, instead of adding it manually. I'm not sure if there's an easy way to fix the blue jay pages, unfortunately. —[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 03:03, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

::I don't really know how templates work yet. This is the first time I've edited a wiki. Is this something you can do? I'm going to keep on tagging things like this for now, until such a fix is made. —[[User:The Mastrod|The Mastrod]] 03:27, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

:We already have a "{{catlink|DF2014:Creatures}}" category that includes all creatures; how exactly will the contents of an "Animals" category differ? Note that "creatures" is a more correct general term since a few of the more esoteric creatures (e.g. [[Gabbro man|Gabbro men]]) wouldn't typically be considered "animals" (they are essentially sentient stone), but I doubt it's worthwhile to have another category specifically to exclude the dozen or so edge-case creatures. ("Creature" also happens to be the game-term used in raw definitions so it's the appropriate wiki category name according to [[Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki:Community_Portal#G|Rule G]].)

:As for creature variations, you can override them on creature pages [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Bluejay_man&diff=230963&oldid=230915 like this]. Unfortunately that won't work on vermin pages because nobody took the time to plumb the necessary parameter passing through the five or so layers of templates.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 03:55, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

::The Animals category already existed, I've just been adding to it. If there is a consensus to delete it, then delete it. Until a decision has been made, I'm going to keep adding pages to it. —[[User:The Mastrod|The Mastrod]] 05:53, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

So should the category include all non-sentient creatures, then?

Morphological differences notwithstanding, '''rhinoceroses''' are essentially small [[elephant]]s. On their own they are one of the [[list of creatures by adult size#end_of_list|largest]] land-based creatures in the game. Like elephants, they are found in tropical [[biome]]s often in small herds and can be tamed and trained by an [[animal trainer]]. As a war animal, their large size and gore attacks make them an extremely fearsome threat.

== Combat ==

Rhinoceroses are dangerous animals with thick layers of skin and fat, insulating them against damage. A piercing weapon like a pike or spear works best for killing them, as non piercing weapon, such as bronze axes tend to just cut their fat without causing any serious damage quickly. Wrestling chokeholds can also kill them since it bypasses their layers of protection, though a truly impressive wrestler is needed to quickly overcome such a massive foe.

Rhinoceroses can be useful for training up skills; since they resist damage so well, you'll be able to fight them for a long time before they die. Or you could just make your soldiers spar for a year or two, while letting more experienced and well-armed soldiers handle serious threats like these, but that wouldn't be [[fun]].

Rhinos usually have no problem hurting you. Their horns are very dangerous to a new adventurer.

'''Giant raccoons''' are much bigger, more problematic versions of the regular [[raccoon]]. They're the size of a [[grizzly bear]], and enjoy stealing a fortress's food and finished goods.

==Combat==
While an unarmed civilian is likely to be killed by a giant raccoon, a few well-trained dwarves should be able to kill one of these animals. As a result, giant raccoons aren't really much of a threat once a good military and good defenses are set up.

'''Hornbills''' are small birds that will appear in any tropical forest.

They are commonly sold by the [[elf|elven]] caravans, like many other useless creatures. Consider building a [[butcher's shop]] and a [[Leather works]] next to your Trade Depot where the merchants can watch, and sell the dirty hippies a snack and a nice new hat before they leave.

Like all egglaying animals, eggs will hatch after three months if they have been fertilized.

They will attempt to steal [[Steals food|food]] and [[Steals items|items]] from your fortress, and if confronted, they may attack [[Dwarf|dwarves]] to defend themselves, but generally stand no chance against a [[hunter]] or even an unarmed peasant in a 1 on 1 fight. Dwarves react violently to the presence of gray langurs, generally leading to your civilians going on wild chases after them whenever they pop up in your map so they can punch the monkeys to death. All gray langurs are born with Legendary [[skill]] in [[Climber|climbing]].

Gray langurs may be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into exotic [[pet]]s. They give a low quantity of returns when [[butcher]]ed, making them poor choices for livestock, but are fairly long-lived animals. Unlike most creatures, gray langurs reach adulthood at 3 years of age, though they're fully grown by the age of 2.

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] gray langurs for their ''social nature'' and their ''vocalizations''.

'''Giant kea''' are airborne infiltrators more than 200 times the size of normal pesky [[kea]]. They are incredibly dangerous animals, so much that they were the flying [[king of beasts]] for DF2012, contested only by the [[giant mosquito]] as of August 8th, 2012. Their habit of going into your fort and stealing your stuff will mean these monsters will come right into contact with your dwarves and fight. And do not expect a civilian, unarmored dwarf to win any of these fights. Giant kea will kill your dwarves faster than you can say, "It's just a big parrot, what harm could it do?"

This animal is capable of stealing artifacts.<sup>[http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6x9ohAAb41r1ahsco1_1280.png]</sup> Additionally, they come in groups of 5-10. As such, they can quickly become your fort's top concern. They tend to fly away when targeted, but that won't stop them from returning to steal again later.

Overall, these things can be a huge threat to a fortress.

When [[butcher]]ed they leave behind useless [[feather]]s. Some dwarves [[preference|admire]] giant kea for their ''curiosity'' and ''intelligence''.

'''Kea''' are flying [[Creature|pests]] that like to [[Thief|steal]] [[Steals food|valuable]] [[Steals items|items]]. They are attracted to things like [[cloth]], [[gem]]s, metal [[bar]]s, stacks of [[crossbow]] [[bolt]]s, and even [[wheelbarrow]]s or [[anvil]]s. They may even steal [[Creature#Aquatic|fish]] from a [[barrel]] after interrupting the [[dwarf]] hauling it. They are similar to a [[raccoon]] or [[rhesus macaque]], but smaller and winged; the fact that they are winged and capable of flight makes them extremely annoying if they find a way into any unoccupied areas of your fortress.

Kea are skittish around other creatures, so [[pasture]]d livestock are generally enough to send them winging away empty-clawed. Unfortunately, the livestock appear to be equally scared of the pilfering pests, so your dwarves will spend considerable time herding them back into their pastures when a kea flock appears.

Kea are too small to be [[butcher]]ed, but may be a source of [[egg]]s if [[Cage|captured]] and [[Animal trainer|trained]]. They can and will draw [[blood]] on dwarves and small pets, like [[cat]]s. A [[Wagon (embark)|wagon]] newly deployed to a fortress can be beset by a large, ravenous group of kea and have their stuff stolen and their days ruined. If you find that your newly founded fortress is infested with kea, a good defensive measure is to move the contents of your wagon underground as quickly as possible, using temporary stockpiles in your fortress entrance if necessary. This will force the pests to stop flying if they want to come and steal something, making them no more or less threatening than other thieving beasts.

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] kea for their ''curiosity'' and their ''intelligence''.

[[Image:Kea on rock while snowing.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Admired for its ''curiosity'']]

{{D for Dwarf}}

Apparently undead versions of keas are instantly transformed into kung-fu masters at the moment of their infection, being witnessed on multiple occassions to shatter bones of dwarf sized creatures (including femurs) through bronze and steel armor with no more than a light tap from one of their toes -- as utterly improbable as it may seem for a bird their size. The only scholarly explanation for this odd phenomena so far is that it may be a cruel inside joke of Armok himself.

Honey badgers have at least 28 teeth, which can sometimes be knocked out in a single strike.

Despite their status as giants, reputation for being ferocious in combat and propensity for becoming enraged, Giant honey badgers aren't all that dangerous to anything more than a couple lone civilians, being easily beaten by any military dwarf or small group of dogs.

'''Giant groupers''' are very large fish found in [[biome|tropical oceans]], growing to weigh as much as 600 kilograms. Giant groupers are bony fish, and will yield a moderate stack of [[bone]]s if you can manage to kill and butcher one. Dwarves may like them for their lips.

Stronger versions of the regular [[grizzly bear]], giant grizzly bears can be found in savage temperate biomes. They are capable of posing a threat to even a well-prepared fortress, and are best dealt with using cage traps. Once trapped, they can be trained for hunting and war by an [[animal trainer]].

'''Alligators''' are intimidating [[Creature|beasts]] found in and around temperate and tropical fresh water [[river]]s and [[lake]]s. They are not tremendously aggressive animals, but will attack [[Dwarf|dwarves]] who [[ambusher|venture foolishly close]]. They appear in clusters of one to three, and, surprisingly, are not any faster in the water than an average land-based creature that can swim is - say, a dwarf.

With an [[egg]] yield of 10 to 30 per clutch, a large [[size]] (and thus high [[butcher]]ing returns), a derived [[bone|product]] [[value]] three times that of a much more boring domestic animal, and a high [[pet]] value, alligators are one of the best [[egg production|egg producing]] creatures a fortress could have. As an added bonus, a [[Animal trainer|trained]] group of gators serves as a credible threat to [[invader]]s. As an [[mount|exotic mount]], [[siege]]s may occasionally arrive on the map riding tame alligators, giving their riders a significant combat advantage as well as the ability to cross or swim through large bodies of water (although this occasionally and hilariously has lethal results for their air-breathing riders).

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] alligators for their ''strength''.

The great horned owl is a species of owl found in most biomes. Cousin species include [[barn owl]]s, [[snowy owl]]s, and more. As in real life, great horned owls can fly. Great horned owls on the map will be killed by [[ambusher|hunters]] and can be butchered at a [[butcher's shop]].

'''Giant anoles''' are super-sized versions of the common [[anole]] who inhabit [[savage]] [[tropical]] [[forest]]s. While their original counterparts are just [[vermin]], these [[creature]]s are over 3 times bigger than a [[dwarf]]. They are not particularly aggressive, but are not benign and will attack other creatures (including dwarves) who provoke them, potentially killing them. All giant anoles are born with Legendary [[skill]] in [[Climber|climbing]].

Giant anoles can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into [[pet]]s, possessing the standard giant creature pet value. They are born adults and cannot be permanently tamed. They produce an adequate amount of products when [[butcher]]ed and may be placed in a [[nest box]] to lay [[egg]]s, however they only lay 1 to 2 eggs at a time, making them very poor animals for [[egg production]]. Additionally, giant anoles are noticeably short-lived, only living up to 7 years at most. They are exotic [[mount]]s and may be witnessed being ridden by [[Elf|elves]] during [[siege]]s.

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] giant anoles for their ''dewlaps'' and their ''ability to change color''.
