This article is about an older version of DF.

Everything here can be applied to all creature files, e.g. creature_domestic, creature_standard, even creature_equipment. This includes sentient creatures, but creature tokens should not be confused with entity tokens.


Tokens[edit]

Contents A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z top

A[edit]

Token Arguments Description
ADD_VERSION version The version of the game in which said creature was introduced. The version number refers to the save version, with 1107 corresponding to 0.21.93.19a and 1169 corresponding to 0.23.130.23a (and other versions falling in between). Creatures which were added after a particular world was generated will be treated as if they do not exist.

All creatures in the stock raws were added before version 1107, so this generally has no effect.

ALCOHOL_DEPENDENT Creature needs alcohol to get through the working day.
ALL_ACTIVE When set, the creature will appear at any time of day in Adventurer mode. Overrides [DIURNAL], [NOCTURNAL], [CREPUSCULAR], [MATUTINAL], and [VESPERTINE].
ALTTILE character number or 'character' If set, the creature will blink between its TILE and its ALTTILE.

[ALTTILE:157] or [ALTTILE:'&']

AMBUSHPREDATOR Makes the creature stay where it appeared rather than hunting down its prey. When used with [WEBBER], it also causes the creature to lay a large quantity of hidden webs around its spawn point. Must be used with [RIVERATTACK_RESIDENT].
AMPHIBIOUS Allows a creature to breathe with or without water.
AQUATIC Creature can breathe in water, but air-drowns on dry land. Does not appear to work with large creatures, where it acts the same as [AMPHIBIOUS].
ATTACK Sets what natural attacks a creature has. See the Attacks section.

ATTACKFLAG_WITH Attacks in combat log inform which body part was used in the attack. "Ratman punches Urist with his right hand."
ATTACKFLAG_CANLATCH Allows the creature to latch on with the attack. "Crocodile latches on Urist's head firmly."
SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT
  • minimum
  • maximum
 The creature injects an amount of its extract into a victim upon successfully using this attack. 50:100 is potency. This is an average extract if it's a poison it will take time to affect the target, then wears off some time after full effect, a slow poison would be 1:100, 100:100 is instant or very fast working poison (haven't tried 0 yet, going to further experiment with the max value)
SPECIALATTACK_SUCK_BLOOD
  • minimum
  • maximum
 When blood is drained from a creature, it causes heavy bleeding (depending on the attacking creatures ability to suck blood). It's unknown if blood suckers feed or regain health while doing this. (Numbers affect amount of blood drawn? / Effectiveness?)

! It seems to only make the target creature bleed/heavy bleed. further testing]
