==Subterranean animal people==
Present from the very first release of the game, in the early two-dimensional releases animal people did not exist as a class but were instead part of a small group of subterranean creatures (so called "river monsters") that would emerge from the [[23a:Cave river|cave river]] to harass your dwarves (the frogman, now [[amphibian man]]; the lizardman, now [[reptile man]]; and the snakeman, now [[serpent man]]). With the release of 40d and three dimensions these creatures had their properties and names redefined and were moved to frock near [[40d:underground river|underground river]]s and [[40d:Underground pool|pools]].

In the v0.31 release these underground water features were expanded into the current-version [[cavern]]s, and the original animal people were renamed to their current forms and moved there. Their behavior was redefined as well to make them more interesting, as they would now linger around "camps" and use poison-tipped weapons. v0.31 also introduced a small number of other underground creatures, these named after and based on specific animals: the [[antman]], [[bat man]], [[cave fish man]], [[cave swallow man]], [[olm man]], and [[rodent man]].
+
===Ethics===
 +
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.
  
The v0.34 release added hundreds more animal people species, all of which appear exclusively above-ground in [[savage]] [[biome]]s; these creatures are more or less distinct from the earlier, subterranean ones. They differ from subterranean species in that their behavior is much simpler: they simply wander around the map like any other wild [[creature]] would, and do not form camps or wield poisoned weapons. They do not exist as civs ''per se'', unlike their older counterparts.
+
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.

Revision as of 06:15, 13 September 2017

This article is about an older version of DF.

Animal people are indigenous tribes of half-man, half-beast creatures with various animal-like traits (such as flying, thievery, and 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 caverns; these two populations form distinct groups. Animal people generally have significantly longer lifespans than their base animals, as well as the ability to learn.

Subterranean animal people are often equipped with primitive weaponry such as wooden spears and blowguns (they are also the only known source of blowdarts, 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 common threat. Animal people are not trapavoid and will often blunder into your cage traps, serving as live bait for larger game and uninvited guests.

Subterranean animal people can join your party in adventurer mode, if you can find them.

Ethics

Being an entity of their own right, subterranean animal people possess ethics much like other civs. Their ethics are directly copied from kobolds and their values are all set to zero.

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.

History

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 cave rivers, and antmen, batmen, and ratmen would come out from chasms to attack.

v0.27.169.32a released three-dimensional worlds, and subterranean creatures were moved to flock near generated chasms, underground rivers, and 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, 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" templates which made converting existing animals to humanoid (and giant) variations much more efficient. Underground features were expanded to the current caverns, and subterranean animal people formed tribes. More anthropomorphic variations of animals present at the time were added.

More animal people were added to the game in v0.34.
