Both kinds will usually come in small groups of about 1 to 4 individuals. They try to escape once detected and only fight when cornered. Their ability to sneak into your fortress is not to be underestimated; locked doors do not slow them down, although similar barriers that are linked to a lever (and are closed) will. They can lurk around the map for quite some time and wait for their opportunity, even when they are already inside your fortress. They may arrive more or less simultaneously with sieges or ambushes, distraction and general turmoil working in their favor. Guarding any entrance with [[restraint|guard animals]] is a safe countermeasure, though. A successful theft of item or child will be announced once the thief leaves the map. | Both kinds will usually come in small groups of about 1 to 4 individuals.

Certain "playful" [[creatures]] will also try to steal items from your hoard, if left open to more general traffic. These include [[raccoon]]s, which tend to be solitary, and groups of [[rhesus macaque]]s and [[mandrill]]s (which aren't just playful, but downright dangerous). In addition, [[black bear|bear]]s and [[gnome]]s will try to steal your [[alcohol|booze]] if they can get at it. None of these animals has any special ability to avoid standard traps or bypass locked doors. | Certain "playful" [[creatures]] will also try to steal items from your hoard, if left open to more general traffic.
