{| id="toc"

| Sets if the creature is active in day, night, and twilight. Seems to be a separate value from DIURNAL/NOCTURNAL/CREPUSCULAR/MATUTINAL, rather than implying them.

| [[Character Table|CP437 ordinal]] or 'character'

| Makes the creature start out hidden. Used by giant cave spiders. May make webs hidden too?

| Determines whether creature can show up on "tame" maps (includes [[Elephants|elephants]]), which will generally avoid dwarves, although they may chase and/or attack them if they get too close).

| See [[Biome Tokens|biome tokens]].

| [[Body_tokens|BODY]]

| [[Creature_Tokens/SPEC_HEAT|BONE_SPEC_HEAT]]

| <u>not</u> a temperature

| Specific heat? (temperature difference required to change the temperature of the creature's bones?) {{verify}}

| Creature 'eats' bones. Eating bones makes their happiness go up, but can cause death (suffocation). This tag implies CARNIVORE.

| Allows a creature to destroy furniture and buildings. Creatures with BUILDINGDESTROYER will actively seek out your constructions and destroy them. A creature can have this value at 1 or 2. When the value is 1, the creature will go after wooden hatches, wooden doors, supports, statues, windows and archery targets only.  They can't destroy homes during world gen as (semi)megabeasts. 

When the value is 2 the creature will actively seek out most (all?) constructions and destroy them. They can also destroy buildings during world-gen with this tag. Megabeasts rely on this token for their pathing when attacking your fort.
