- Now you will know why you fear the night.
Introduced in version 0.31.17, night creatures are members of a class of procedurally-generated hostile creatures. Night trolls, which are themselves only a type of night creature, are sometimes also referred to as night creatures.
Each type of night creature is depicted in the game as either a ñ or Ñ of a different color. Some night creatures flash between the Ñ and a basic creature tile. The following types of night creatures exist in this version:
ÑNight trolls, which abduct certain civilized creatures of the opposite gender, transform them into a spouse, and mate with them.ñBogeymen, which ambush lone travelers at night, chasing them relentlessly until the victim can retreat indoors or manages to survive until daylight. Unlike other night creatures, bogeymen do not have individual histories — rather, they are generated when needed in adventure mode.ÑGhosts, the restless spirits of the dead that weren't properly memorialized. Depending on circumstances, they can interact with the living in various ways.
