This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.

Many creatures packed into one area.

In Dwarf Fortress, a creature is defined as any animate, normally-mobile (and for the sake of this article, non-vermin) being that can interact with the world and any element inside it. The creatures in the game range from being entirely realistic to completely mythical. Although most creatures are animals, dwarves, giant cave spiders, and even megabeasts are all also considered creatures. Various creatures can and will interact with a fortress or adventurer in many different ways.

Some creatures have skills that match what type of creature they are (e.g. monkeys having legendary climbing skill). Though most creatures can be found in any mode, some are exclusive to adventure mode or fortress mode.

Also note that creatures with the [ARENA_RESTRICTED] or [DOES_NOT_EXIST] tokens cannot be spawned in the object testing arena, similarly to vermin (e.g. flies, worms).

Spawning

The creatures that will spawn on any given fortress map depend on the biome(s) that the fortress is in. Additionally, there are several creature tokens in the raws that deal with creature spawning:

[FREQUENCY:X]: This tag dictates how often a creature will spawn. It ranges from 0-100, and is a comparative number, where the higher this number is, the more likely the creature is to spawn.
[CLUSTER_NUMBER:X]: This determines how many creatures will appear at one time on a map.
[POPULATION_NUMBER:X]: This determines the total number of this type of creature that can ever visit your fortress. The exact number varies depending on the map. For example, deer have a [POPULATION_NUMBER:15:30], meaning that if you kill between 15-30 deer, no more deer will ever visit your fortress.

Reading the Table

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

The above columns indicate, in order:

Tile: The tile assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.
Name: The name of the creature as it displays in-game.
Playable: If "No", the creature is not playable in any modes. "Fort" indicates that the creature is playable in fortress mode ([SITE_CONTROLLABLE]). "Adv" indicates that the creature is playable in adventure mode. All creatures except humans must have a population in an [ALL_MAIN_POPS_CONTROLLABLE] civilization in order to be playable in adventure mode; goblins (and other creatures) cannot be played from a goblin civ. Humans can be played whether or not a population exists due to [OUTSIDER_CONTROLLABLE], but an [ALL_MAIN_POPS_CONTROLLABLE] civ still needs to have existed at some point. Creatures with [LOCAL_POPS_CONTROLLABLE] are also playable in adventure mode.
Hostile: If "Yes", then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral, or friendly. Undead creatures are always hostile to living things.
Food Source: If "Yes", then the creature can be butchered into an 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 rabbit to 25,000,000 for a dragon. The creature's volume in cm³, which, for creatures made of flesh, more-or-less equals the creature's weight in grams.[1] These sizes do not correspond to the sizes which trigger pressure plates. Size is modified with height and broadness (i.e. incredibly 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 pet during trading.
Biome: Where the creature can be found.
Features: Any special features the creature possesses, including things such as causing a syndrome, breathing fire, or spinning webs.

Note: If you wish to view alternate ways of sorting creatures, such as sorting creatures by biomes and location, or sorting domestic creatures by features, there is a new page found here: Alternate creature sorting

Creatures

Civilized

Main races

Intelligent creatures that form the dominant civilized races of the world. While most are part of society many have turned to Banditry.

Tile	Name	Playable	Hostile	Food Source	Adult Body Size	Pet Value (×)	Biome	Features
☺	Dwarf	Fort, Adv	No	No	60,000	Not tameable	Mountain halls, dwarf fortresses, hillocks	Trading race
e	Elf	Adv	Variable¹	No	60,000	Not tameable	Forest retreats	Trading race
g	Goblin	Adv	Usually¹	No	60,000	Not tameable	Dark fortresses and dark pits	Snatchers²
U	Human	Adv	Variable¹	No	70,000	Not tameable	Towns and cities	Trading race
k	Kobold	Adv	Usually¹	No	20,000	Not tameable	Caves	Skulking race

1. Whether or not you are hostile with select civilized races depends on the history of your game world, and its length. Shorter histories mean less ongoing wars and less general hostility, good for a newer player to learn the basics.

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

Tribesmen

Intelligent animal people that form crude civilizations underground, but will not trade with you. They wield some weapons and can join adventurers.

a	Amphibian man	No	Variable¹	No	20,000	Not tameable	Underground	Amphibious

r	Rodent man	No	Variable¹	No	40,000	Not tameable	Underground
s	Serpent man	No	Variable¹	No	50,000	Not tameable	Underground	Amphibious; Causes Syndrome

1. Whether an animal person civilization treats you as hostile or not seems random.^[Verify]

2. Ant-men body sizes depend on their caste.

Livestock and Domestic Animals

Creatures that have long been domesticated and either play a part in the meat industry or are simply pets to keep dwarves company. Note: Except for wagons, domestic animals can be bought at embark, or requested from dwarven caravans. Animals of these types below that are caught in the wild with cage traps can be tamed after only one session with an animal trainer.

Animals

This section include wild animals their giant and humanoid counterparts. Wild animals are mostly found roaming the wilderness. Many of them are predators, while others are benign and will not attack unless being attacked first. Some will be drawn to your stockpiles to steal drink food or something shiny. Some can easily overcome and yet others, can be significant threats like the dread elephant.

-In ''Dwarf Fortress'', a '''creature''' is defined as any animate, normally-mobile (and for the sake of this article, non-[[vermin]]) being that can interact with the world. Although most creatures are animals, [[dwarf|dwarves]], [[giant cave spider]]s, and even [[megabeast]]s are all also considered creatures. Various creatures can and will interact with a fortress or adventurer in many different ways. Some creatures have [[skill]]s that match what type of creature they are. Though most creatures can be found in any mode, some are exclusive to [[Adventure mode]] or [[Fortress mode]].
+In ''Dwarf Fortress'', a '''creature''' is defined as any animate, normally-mobile (and for the sake of this article, non-[[vermin]]) being that can interact with the world and any element inside it.

 *<tt>[FREQUENCY:X]</tt>: This tag dictates ''how often'' a creature will spawn. It ranges from 0-100, and is a comparative number, where the higher this number is, the more likely the creature is to spawn.
 *<tt>[CLUSTER_NUMBER:X]</tt>: This determines ''how many'' creatures will appear at one time on a map.
