'''Olm men''' are the humanoid versions of the common [[olm]] and are one of the many [[Creature|races]] of underworld tribal [[animal people]] found living on any [[cavern]] level.

'''Olm men''' are humanoid versions of the [[olm]] and one of the many underworld tribal [[Creature|races]] of [[animal people]], living on any [[cavern]] level milling around piles of [[food|meat]] and [[leather|tanned hides]]. They stand at roughly half the size of an adult [[dwarf]].

Despite being labelled as hostile in the unit list, olm men initially found in the caverns will ignore your citizens unless provoked. They will usually be observed carrying wooden [[spear]]s, [[blowgun]]s and [[shield]]s, although they are sometimes seen using metal items instead. These can range from [[copper]] to [[steel]], and is presumably a bug. Depending on which other subterranean creatures they have access to, their [[blowdart]]s will be covered in different [[syndrome|poisons]], which can vary from mildly annoying [[cave spider]] venom to highly [[fun|dangerous]] [[giant cave spider]] toxins. You can preemptively check for poisons by selecting a [[blowgunner]], looking in their items tab and viewing their blowdarts.

Approach with caution, unless the tribe is friendly. If the tribe is friendly, feel free to take advantage of them in fine imperialistic tradition and steal all their resources without compensation. To check whether a tribe of olm men is friendly, press {{k|u}} to view the unit list. The tribe will be labeled as either hostile or friendly. Alternatively, press {{k|v}} to view one of their profiles.

Olm men may launch [[ambush|group attacks]] on your fort. When this happens, all tribesmen on the map will become hostile, even if they were peaceful minutes prior to the invasion. They may arrive with [[pet]]s and [[mount]]s, some of which will be able to fly or easily catch up to your fleeing civilians. These invaders, unlike their above-ground counterparts, will not leave after some time has passed, even if your fort is completely sealed off from the caverns, nor will they prevent migrants, caravans or other invaders from arriving; including more waves of olm men. Because of this, several unchallenged assaults from them can quickly cause your game's FPS to drop to single-digit levels, thus making your fort completely unplayable.
+
Like many underground races, the danger of olm men is not to be found in their [[wood]]en [[weapon]]s, but in the substances found smeared on them. Olm men use many [[syndrome|poisons]], some of which can be deadly. They will launch group attacks on your fort, and have the ability to swim through your reservoirs and launch amphibious assaults on your [[fisherdwarf|fisherdwarves]].

Olm men are, predictably, amphibious, meaning that they can swim through your reservoirs in order to get through your defenses, or will lie in wait to ambush your [[fisherdwarf|fisherdwarves]], so plan your defenses accordingly.
