Also note that creatures with the {{token|ARENA_RESTRICTED}} or {{token|DOES_NOT_EXIST}} tokens cannot be spawned in the [[object testing arena]], similarly to [[vermin]] (e.g. [[fly|flies]], [[worm]]s). |
− | + | Nearly all creatures in the game, including [[Megabeast|very]] [[Giant sperm whale|large]] [[Sea serpent|ones]], take the space of a single tile, even if their [[Graphics|sprites]] imply otherwise ([[wagons]] being the only exception). There are roughly 680 creatures in the game. In adventure mode, creatures can have different labels to differentiate similar ones from [[historical figure]]s. For example, a goblin may be labeled as a "white-haired goblin bowyer" while another would be a "high-cheekbones goblin bowyer". | |

− | === Animals === | + | === Wild Animals === |
− | This section | + | This section includes wild [[animals]], as well as their giant and humanoid counterparts. Wild animals are mostly found roaming the wilderness. Many of them are predators, while others are benign, and will not attack unless being attacked first. Some will be drawn to your stockpiles to [[steals drink|steal drink]], [[Steals food|food]] or [[Steals items|something shiny]]. Some can be easily overcome, and yet others can be significant threats, like the dreaded [[elephant]]. |
+ | |||
+ | ==== Agitation ==== | ||
+ | Disruption of the environment in a [[savage]] biome, such as [[woodcutting]] or [[fishing]], may cause the appearance of "agitated" or "irritated" animals. Agitated animals will directly seek out and attack dwarves, instead of their normal behavior. Agitation rate and threshold can be adjusted in the [[Difficulty#Wilderness_irritation|difficulty]] [[settings]]. Agitation can be removed by [[Taming|taming]] animals captured in [[cage trap]]s. With DFhack, it is possible to check current agitation status by executing the command <code>agitation-rebalance status</code>[https://docs.dfhack.org/en/stable/docs/tools/agitation-rebalance.html]. | ||
