− | + | '''Kobold thieves''' can start appearing quite early (first year) and are generally immune to any traps; they only trigger traps in panic after being detected. Armed with only a copper dagger they are no threat to anyone. While they sometimes steal low value items strewn outside, there seems to be a mechanism that makes them target other items inside instead, too. A successful theft will be announced once the thief leaves the map. | |
− | + | '''Goblin snatchers''' happily run into any kind of trap. Armed with an iron dagger they should be approached with a little bit more caution, but any average soldier should take them down unharmed. When they get their hands on one of your beloved(?) children, they will stuff them in a bag they carry with them for that purpose. | |

− | + | 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; they can lurk around the map for quite some time and wait for their opportunity, even when they are already inside your fortress. Guarding any entrance with chained dogs is a safe coutermeasure though. | |
− | + | Certain "playful" [[creatures]] will also try to steal items from your hoard. These include [[raccoon]]s, [[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. | |
