This article is about an older version of DF.

Blood is the preferred fluid of Armok, as well as the fluid that most living creatures contain within their bodies. It is unfortunate that losing this fluid tends to be invariably fatal to those who possess it.

Blood tends to spread everywhere; you will just have to get used to it. Or go insane, your choice. It is possible to remove blood from a Template:L floor by building a Template:L on it. Allocating bloody Template:L underground areas as a Template:L seems to increase their Template:L priority and they will get cleaned pretty quickly if you have enough idle workers. However, this does not seem to work for above ground areas.

Assorted Blood Types

Not all creatures have the same dark red blood that most do. Template:Ls, for instance, have a gray goo instead of blood, and Template:Ls bleed a bright cyan.

Bloodless Creatures

Several creatures, such as the Template:L and skeletal Template:L, do not possess blood. Such creatures are markedly harder to kill.

Collecting Blood

Beyond the obvious method of injuring creatures, Template:Ls full of blood can be brought with a Template:L expedition upon Template:L, and bought from dwarven civilizations in Template:L. The use for this is uncertain -probably used to appease Armok untill you can start producing it on your own.
