[[File:creatures_preview2.png|right]]In ''Dwarf Fortress'', a '''creature''' is defined as any animate, normally-mobile (and for the sake of this article, non-[[vermin]]) being that can interact with the world and any element inside it. The creatures in the game range from being entirely realistic to completely mythical. Although most creatures are animals, [[dwarf|dwarves]], [[giant cave spider]]s, and even [[megabeast]]s are all also considered creatures. Various creatures can and will interact with a fortress or adventurer in many different ways.
 
  
−
Some creatures have [[skill]]s that match what type of creature they are (e.g. [[monkey]]s having legendary climbing skill). Though most creatures can be found in any mode, some are exclusive to [[adventure mode]] or [[fortress mode]]. Some creatures are randomly and procedurally generated, meaning they could have many different sprites in-game. Creatures of that type may have just one to a few sprites showcased out of many in the list below. A question mark placeholder may also be shown instead.

Also note that creatures with the {{token|ARENA_RESTRICTED}} or {{token|DOES_NOT_EXIST}} tokens cannot be spawned in the [[object testing arena]], similarly to [[vermin]] (e.g. [[fly|flies]], [[worm]]s).

 +
The above columns indicate, in order:
 +
 
 +
'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.
 +
 
 +
'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.
 +
 
 +
'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly. [[Undead]] creatures are always hostile to living things.
 +
 
 +
'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

Many standard-sized creatures in the game take the space of a single tile, while many giant versions of creatures, including many types of beasts, may take up the space of more than one tile. There are roughly 680 creatures in the game.
+
'''Adult Body Size:''' The average size of the creature when an adult. This can be anywhere from 500 for a [[rabbit]] to 25,000,000 for a [[dragon]]. More or less equals the creature's weight in grams. These sizes do not correspond to the sizes which trigger [[pressure plate]]s. Size is modified with height and broadness (i.e. incredible skinny and short is below the average weight, while a fat and tall one is above it).
  
−
==Spawning==
+
'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].
−
[[File:creatures_many.png|thumb|right|124px|Same concept, but in ASCII mode.]]The creatures that will spawn on any given fortress map depend on the biome(s) that the fortress is in. Additionally, there are several [[creature token|creature token]]s in the [[raws]] that deal with creature spawning:
 
−
*<tt>[FREQUENCY:X]</tt>: This tag dictates ''how often'' a creature will spawn. It ranges from 0-100, and is a comparative number, where the higher this number is, the more likely the creature is to spawn.
 
−
*<tt>[CLUSTER_NUMBER:X]</tt>: This determines ''how many'' creatures will appear at one time on a map.
 
−
*<tt>[POPULATION_NUMBER:X]</tt>: This determines the ''total number'' of this type of creature that can ever visit your fortress. The exact number varies, depending on the map.
 
−
 
−
For example, [[deer]] have a <tt>[POPULATION_NUMBER:15:30]</tt>, meaning that if you kill between 15-30 deer, no more deer will ever visit your fortress.
 
  
−
==Reading the Table==
+
'''Biome:''' Where the creature can be found.
−
{{v50_creaturecurrent table head}}

|}
 
−
The above columns indicate, in order:
 
−
* '''Graphic:''' The sprite assigned to the creature. Seen only in the [[Premium version|Steam version]].
 
−
* '''Tile:''' The tile assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.
 
−
* '''Name:''' The name of the creature as it displays in-game.
 
−
* '''Playable:''' If "No", the creature is not playable in any modes. "Fort" indicates that the creature is playable in fortress mode ({{token|SITE_CONTROLLABLE|e}}). "Adv" indicates that the creature is playable in adventure mode. All creatures except humans must have a population in an {{token|ALL_MAIN_POPS_CONTROLLABLE|e}} civilization in order to be playable in adventure mode; goblins (and other creatures) cannot be played from a goblin civ. Humans can be played whether or not a population exists due to {{token|OUTSIDER_CONTROLLABLE|c}}, but an {{tt|[ALL_MAIN_POPS_CONTROLLABLE]}} civ still needs to have existed at some point. Creatures with {{token|LOCAL_POPS_CONTROLLABLE|c}} are also playable in adventure mode.
 
−
* '''Hostile:''' If "Yes", then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral, or friendly. [[Undead]] creatures are always hostile to living things.
 
−
* '''Food Source:''' If "Yes", then the creature can be butchered into an [[meat|edible substance]] that your dwarves will feed on.
 
−
* '''Adult Body Size:''' The average [[size]] of the creature when an adult. This can be anywhere from 500 for a [[rabbit]] to 25,000,000 for a [[dragon]]. This value represents the creature's volume in cm<sup>3</sup>, which, for creatures made of flesh, more-or-less equals the creature's weight in grams.[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=30026.msg831163#msg831163] These sizes do not correspond to the sizes which trigger [[pressure plate]]s. Size is modified with height and broadness (i.e. incredibly skinny and short is below the average weight, while a fat and tall one is above it).
 
−
* '''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].
 
−
* '''Biome:''' Where the creature can be found.
 
−
* '''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, including things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

==== Underground Tribes ====

THANKS!
−
Intelligent [[animal people]] that form crude civilizations underground, but will not trade with you. They wield some weapons and can join adventurers. They can also perform [[Ambush|ambushes]] once the [[cavern]] is reached, depending on which creatures are hostile. These types of animal people are not playable in adventure mode.

Creatures that have long been [[Domestic animal|domesticated]], and either play a part in the [[meat industry]], or are simply [[pet]]s to keep dwarves company. Note: Except for [[wagon]]s, domestic animals can be bought at embark, or requested from dwarven caravans.  Animals of these types below that are caught in the wild with [[cage trap]]s can be tamed after only one session with an [[animal trainer]].

=== Wild Animals ===
+
===Above Ground===
−
This section includes wild [[animals]] as well as their giant and humanoid counterparts. Wild animals are mostly found roaming the wilderness. Many of them are predators, while others are benign, and will not attack unless being attacked first. Some will be drawn to your stockpiles to [[steals drink|steal drink]], [[Steals food|food]] or [[Steals items|something shiny]]. Some can be easily overcome, and yet others can be significant threats, like the dreaded [[elephant]].

====Agitation====
+
==Randomly Generated Creatures==
−
Disruption of the environment of a savage biome, such as deforestation or overfishing, may cause the appearance of "agitated" animals. Agitated animals, regardless of their normal behavior, will directly seek out and attack dwarves. Agitation can be removed by [[Taming|taming]]
 
−
 
 
−
With DFhack it is possible to check current agitation by executing command <code>:lua !plotinfo.outdoor_irritation</code>.
