− | Plump helmet men are | + | '''Plump helmet men''' are humanoid, intelligent versions of [[plump helmet]]s who can be uncommonly found at the second and third layers of the [[caverns]]. These [[creature]]s are nearly as heavy as [[dwarf|dwarves]] and spawn in groups of 3 to 5 individuals who meander about aimlessly, being non-hostile and very vulnerable to damage due to their lack of bones. |
− | Plump helmet men are | + | Plump helmet men are featureless - they have no mouth, nose, ears or eyes, though they can still see through {{token|EXTRAVISION|c}}. They are composed of fungal material called 'plump helmet man tissue' which is, according to the raws, edible, though plump helmet men cannot be [[butcher]]ed or eaten due to being intelligent beings. Due to ''Dwarf Fortress''' item naming system, they turn into "Plump helmet man plump helmet man tissue" when they die. They are also remarkably resistant to [[fire]] and [[magma]] - Dwarven Science Experiments have shown that they can live for several seasons while submerged in 7/7 magma (while on fire). |
− | Unlike most creatures, plump helmet men can't be spawned in the [[object testing arena]] | + | Plump helmet men are similar to [[savage]] [[animal people]] in that they can join [[civilization]]s, normally being found in dwarven factions where they'll become full-fledged citizens. Plump helmet men are playable in [[adventurer mode]], but come with one major disadvantage compared to other races; they cannot speak (due to not being able to {{token|CAN_SPEAK|c}},apparently), meaning they can't receive quests, can't trade with others and can't hire companions, among other things, which severely limits their ability to interact with others. Going on a murderous rampage as a purple mushroom man is still fair game, though, provided you keep their relative fragility in mind. |
