Wikipedia article

A medium-sized fish found in lakes and streams. They are bottom-feeders and tend to gather groups.


The carp is a fairly common variety of Template:L that has a disproportionately powerful attack to that of Dwarfs*. This wouldn't be much of a problem if the Carp's attack wasn't also given the ability to latch onto its foes. While all Large Fish have this kind of attack the prevalence of carp has made them infamous in the Dwarf world.

(* 1-6 damage, compared to an untrained, unarmed dwarf's 1-2 damage)

Carp may be found in anything from a river to a murky pool. While river-carp may be just as scared as your Dwarfs as they are of them (avoiding your Dwarfs), carp found in a Template:L will often feel cornered and attack anyone who gets too close "as an act of self defense".

Advice

If Carp only exist in one specific water source (say, one Murky Pool), it may be best to simply restrict access (d, o, r) to specific water source, and designating a non-carp-infested water source a a water source (i, set area rectangle using enter, w)

Carp cannot attack any dwarfs through a well, so building one will allow your dwarfs safe access to water inhabited by carp (so long as the well is not on the same z level as the top of the lake/river).

When Carp are found within the boundaries of your fortress river it is often suggested to dig a Template:L out and cover the channel with Template:L for a safe fishing/drinking zone.
