- A large monster taking the shape of a tick.
Giant ticks are the non-vermin variety of ticks. They carry the MOUTH_SUCK_ATTACK creature variation tag, and can in fact suck blood from a dwarf. In form and capability they are essentially a toothless, webless giant spider, and as such are relatively no danger to your dwarves; however, if cornered and attacked, they can make quick work of a single, untrained and unarmored dwarf. Having an additional pair of legs gives them more resilience compared to giant insects, and less chance to get a fatal brain injury, but they are easily taken out by a military squad or hunter. It is highly recommended to either take it down by bolt, or have an armored soldier take care of it, as even a single bite can incapacitate an unarmored dwarf.
They are ubiquitous, and live for only two years, so they are better utilized as roasts than pets.
