| − | + | Infected dwarves will not die of old age{{Verify}} and do not need food and drink. Note that werebeasts can still drink, and the only reason they won't die from dehydration is because they change before they can die, healing wounds and removing thirst. They may go mad, however, so if you want to make them work (or use them for a [[stupid dwarf trick]]) you should try to keep them happy. This can be difficult because werebeasts will not sleep or eat, though they will drink if alcohol is available. | |

Ideally the dwarves who get injured will back away while the others hold back the werebeast. In reality it can be hard to balance the battle, which leads to either the werebeast killing off the injured dwarves, or being pummeled into submission without spreading their curse. Another significant problem arises when an attack by either the werebeast or a dwarf happens at the moment of transformation. This is considered a dwarf-on-dwarf attack, which leads to a minor [[loyalty cascade]]. |
