A new creature?
« on: March 27, 2007, 03:22:00 pm »
My friend is starting on his very first fort. (I got him addicted) and he told me his woodcutting was interrupted by something called a "satyr". I called BS and asked him if that was the name of the creature. He tells me there is a group of them, and that they interrupted his woodcutter's cutting of wood. He showed me a screenshot, and they appear as lower case brown "s". And 'lo and behold, they are indeed called "Satyr". Any idea what they are?

Satyrs are from Greek mythology- Men with goat horns and goat legs... They also usually have huge erections in classical depictions, but they're not normally portrayed that way anymore...

In this game I think they're the only non-unicorn creature associated with good maps... Well not counting fairies as they're just vermin...
