I know that your adventurer can become a vampire by drinking their blood, but I'm wondering if it's possible to become or start playing as an other sort of undead and what that would entail. I've never edited DF files before so if it's impossible to do normally, could someone give me some info on the feats of editing wizardry I'll have to pull off to try this out?

As far as i know, you can be undead if you go to an Evil Biome and ran into an EVIL cloud. Well, this might result into vomiting and explosive diahrrea fever aswell, i guess...

How would I search for evil biomes in adventurer mode? I know they're shown when picking a site in fortress mode, but im not sure it tells you in adventure mode

You need red and gray tiles on the map. Gen world with 1000 clouds and go there.

When DFhack catches up with the current version you could start an adventurer, use the change mode function to go into arena mode, generate a husk, assume control and then change mode back to adventurer.

It's an inelegant and cheaty approach, but it'll get the job done.

alternatively just add the ADVENTURE_TIER tag to any undead to play as it

I think the types of undead you can become without cheating are limited to vampire, necromancer and evil cloud born zombie/husk/thrall.

I have to keep reminding myself that this is Dwarf Fortress, where people voluntarily transform themselves into horrifying undead monsters.
