'''Dungeons''' are the intricate network of halls, and lanes, and tunnels, alleys, cellars, mansions and passages that lie beneath a [[Keep]] in a [[Town]]. They are distinct from catacombs and sewers, although they occasionally have connections with either. They also rarely have tombs, though the latter tend to only rarely have mummies and more often function as a mass grave for the town's inhabitants.

Entrance to sewers are spread alongside main roads and buildings. They are shown on the local travel map as {{DFtext|Sewer entrance|5:1}} in the building list. A [[grate]] usually indicates the presence of an entrance, which is really just a downward ramp or stair found nearby.
The '''dungeon''' was a subterranean network of rooms and passages that lay beneath the [[keep]] of a [[town]]. Dungeons were distinct from the other underground [[structure]]s, the [[catacombs]] and [[sewer]]s, although they occasionally created connections with either. They were usually the first place to explore for most adventurers beginning as hearthpersons in a town, and it provided decent challenge for [[adventure mode]] beginners.
 
  
Rectangular rooms were joined by narrow corridors and stairways, and loot could be found lying around the rock floors. They did not hold prisoners or criminals in a [[jail]]. Outcasts were able to settle and form [[Town#Criminal organizations|criminal organizations]], with dungeons as their base of operations. Dungeons were thus a common locale for [[quest]] objectives.
+
Sewers often have residents such as animal people; some of them may be amphibious and live underwater. Because sewers may connect with dungeons and catacombs, [[boss]]es and their organization are sometimes also found there. Proceed with caution and be careful not to dodge into the water without at least Adequate swimming skill, lest the fall stun you and make you drown.
 
 
Dungeons were removed from the game in [[DF2014:Release information/0.47.01|version 0.47.01]], with plans for better replacements in a future update. Interestingly, [[Legends]] will sometimes mention [[Villain|particularly unsavory]] [[Tower (structure)|tower]] tenants adding dungeons as extensions to their dwellings and holding prisoners there for various reasons, but inspecting these towers in adventure mode currently shows no evidence of such chambers existing. This does suggest, however, that the future replacement dungeons will serve a more obvious purpose as containment for prisoners. <sup>[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=175790.msg8107044#msg8107044 &#91;1&#93;]</sup>

Dungeons and dragons may occasionally happen when a dragon claims a dungeon.
