A syndrome is an acquired trait a hapless creature might get through encountering certain creatures or extracts. They generally cause unpleasant or even fatal Template:L on creatures over varying time scales, and will usually clear up on their own eventually. A Template:L may be able to diagnosis and prescribe treatment to help a dorf deal with illness.

An example of a syndrome in effect. This hippo did not ultimately survive the encounter despite one bite being the only injury sustained.
