Tick men are humanoid versions of the common tick and a species of animal people, found in most savage biomes in small clusters of one to three individuals. They are only half the size of an adult dwarf and as such, are unlikely to be a threat to even an unarmed civilian. Like their vermin counterparts, tick men drain blood during bite attacks, which may be lead to interesting scenarios if one attempts to bite a vampire.

Like other savage animal people, tick men may occasionally join civilizations, becoming full-fledged citizens who may appear in your fortress as visitors or be playable in adventurer mode.

Some dwarves like tick men for their ability to expand.
