Not only because they can drag a fully grown [[dwarf]] into the [[water]] and nibble him to death, but also because they can stare at your [[fisherdwarf]] and send them staggering back into a [[cliff]]. To make things worse, [[Ambusher|hunters]] will unload their whole [[quiver]]s on them, oblivious to nearby [[animal]]s walking on land. Carps will however die after the first winter if you are lucky enough to have a map which freezes. Alternatively, try draining all the [[river]]s and lakes to air-drown the fish (but be wary not to water-drown your [[dwarves]] in the process). |

− | The carp's | + | The carp's status as a cold-blooded dwarf killer is no doubt due to the fact that [[Toady One]] simply used a default bite attack for the carp (as with most of the new beings in v0.27.169.33a). The carp, half the size of a dwarf, has a bite attack which inflicts 1-6 damage points. Compared to the strength of a dwarven punch (1-2 damage points). Alone this this is not enough kill the average dwarf. The problem lies in swimming, Carp start with no swimming skill but still get swimming natural. Eventually-legendary+5 carp swimmers get huge stats from training. This is what causes them to be so much more powerful than even normal dogs, or wolves. |
− | + | The carp's propensity to attack [[creatures]] outside of its element and its ability to scare away dwarves it could never really reach is better classifiable as a bug. The same could be said about the hunters ability to target and attack them. | |
− | + | Carp also used to gain attributes from skill increases. Previously, innate swimmers gained attributes as they gained swim skill. This has been changed, and innate swimmers no longer gain swimming skill (or stat increases.){{version|0.27.169.33b}} | |
− | + | Additionally, dwarves who get attacked by carp tend to end up in the river, either from being pulled in, or from "dodging" into it. | |

− | + | If you are new to DF, then there is only one thing to do if you come across a river full of carp and you don't want your dwarves to die... Run. Run and never look back. | |
− | + | Or if you are too tired to run after your looong journey you can use designations(d) then set traffic areas(o) to simply forbid your Dwarves going near the carp. This works best on lakes and ponds with the nasty buggers in them. | |
