This article is about an older version of DF.

In Dwarf Fortress, creatures are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-Template:L) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like Template:L to evil monsters like Template:L. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

Reading the Table

Tile	Name	Playable	Hostile	Food Source	Adult Body Size	Pet Value (×)	Biome	Features

The above columns indicate, in order:

Symbol: The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

Name: The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

Hostile: If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly. Template:L creatures are always hostile.

Food Source: If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

Adult Body Size: The average size of the creature when an adult. This can be anywhere from 500 for a Template:L to 25,000,000 for a Template:L. More or less equals the creature's weight in grams. These sizes do not correspond to the sizes which trigger Template:Ls. Size is modified with height and broadness (ie. incredible skinny and short is below the average weight, while a fat and tall one is above it).

Pet Value: This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a Template:L during Template:L.

Biome: Where the creature can be found.

Features: Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as Template:L, Template:L, or Template:L.

2. Snatchers try to snatch children of other civilizations. Snatched individuals become part of the Snatcher's civ.

Animalman Races

Note: These creatures can form crude civilizations underground but will not trade with you. They wield some weapons and can join adventurers.
