All creatures, with the exception of those created at year 0, start out as Template:L or, in the case of some humanoids, babies. After a certain number of years, defined in the raws for each creature, babies will age to become children, and children will age to become adults. By default, all babies become children at one year. Also defined in the raws is a maximum age range. For dwarves this is 150-170 years, whereas Template:Ls may die of old age as young as 60, or may live to be as old as 120 years. Some creatures, among them Template:L, Template:Ls, and Template:Ls (as well as horses, donkeys, and mules, for some reason), are immortal. Lacking a maximum age, they will never die from old age, though they may still be killed by other means.
