− | '''Animal | + | '''Animal people''' are indigenous tribes of half-man, half-beast [[creature]]s with various animal-like traits (such as [[flying]], [[steals items|thievery]], and [[syndrome|poisons]]), inherited from their base animal. The original animal people were based on creatures classes, while more recently discovered animal people are based on variations of species instead. They may appear either wandering above ground in [[savage]] environments or in the [[cavern]]s; these two populations form distinct groups. Animal people generally have significantly longer [[age|lifespans]] than their base animals, as well as the ability to [[learns|learn]]. |
− | + | Subterranean animal people are often equipped with primitive weaponry such as [[wood]]en [[spear]]s and [[blowgun]]s (they are also the only known source of [[blowdart]]s, which they will not willingly relinquish). While not interested in formal negotiations with dwarves, these animal people are usually not hostile; some will choose to band together against a [[forgotten beast|common threat]]. Animal people are not [[trapavoid]] and will often blunder into your cage traps, serving as live bait for [[giant cave spider|larger game]] and [[forgotten beast|uninvited guests]]. | |
− | Subterranean animal | + | Subterranean animal people can join your party in [[adventurer mode]], if you can find them. |

− | Being an entity of their own right, subterranean animal | + | Being an entity of their own right, subterranean animal people possess ethics much like other civs. Their ethics are directly copied from [[kobold]]s and their [[personality trait|values]] are all set to zero. |
− | Like kobolds, subterranean animal | + | Like kobolds, subterranean animal people consider the killing of other living beings very much acceptable, but treason is unthinkable and they'll respond to the murder of their own kinds by exiling the offender from their tribes. They oppose torturing as an example and the torture of animals, but consider torturing for fun a fair game. Assault is considered a personal matter, while slavery, animal trophies, and the consumption of sapient beings (which includes animal people) are all unthinkable acts. |

− | Present from the first official release of the game, | + | Present from the first official release of the game, animal people did not exist as a class but were instead part of a small group of subterranean creatures that harassed your dwarves. Frogmen, lizardmen, and snakemen emerged from [[23a:cave river|cave rivers]], and antmen, batmen, and ratmen would come out from [[23a:chasm|chasms]] to attack. |
− | [[40d:release information|v0.27.169.32a]] released three-dimensional worlds, and subterranean creatures were moved to flock near generated [[40d:chasm|chasms]], [[40d:underground river|underground rivers]], and [[40d:Underground pool|underground pools]].

Cave swallowmen and olmmen were introduced. The first set of above-ground savage animal people were also introduced: leechmen, snailmen, slugmen, and tigermen. |
− | In [[v0.31:release information|v0.31]], every creature | + | In [[v0.31:release information|v0.31]], every creature were renamed and/or had their properties revamped (for example, "frogman" was changed to "amphibian man" and "batman" was changed to "bat man"). Not every animal men were redefined in this version, and some continued to use old codes for many releases. The version also introduced "[[creature variation token|creature variation]]" templates which made converting existing animals to humanoid (and giant) variations much more efficient. Underground features were expanded to the current [[cavern]]s, and subterranean animal people formed tribes. More anthropomorphic variations of animals present at the time were added. |
− | More animal | + | More animal people were added to the game in [[v0.34:release information|v0.34]]. |
