Is there any difference between Haunted, Sinister, Terrifying, and the other evil biome adjectives, or are they just for variety?

[Sykirobme]

There's a difference.  That attribute affects the local fauna:

Real dwarves only start fortresses in terrifying locales.

I don't think the wiki serves well to illustrate the difference, so, here's a primer:
Evil = undead
Savage = giant eagles
Evil + Savage = Fun times

I once found a 1000 year old skeletal muskox, back in the 2d version... It slaughter my entire party of 6-10 and my uber-legendary like they were nothing... I never saw it again but it made it into legends... It was one scary ass muthafucka.

So... is there a difference between evil grey-and-red map tiles versus evil purple map tiles?  It seems like the grey-and-red ones tend to have dead trees and the like, maybe it's "evil unlife" versus "evil goblin/demon influence"?

[Chariot]

there are "undead" evil zones which have skeletal/zombie animals and dead trees, and there are "evil" evil zones which have evil creatures like ogres and grimelings and are essentialy the counterpart to good zones

[Patarak]

And how can you tell which is an undead evil zone and which isn't?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Purple color is evil. Black/red is usually undead. Dark brown/red water is usually both. I'm not exactly sure, I never did enough testing on this matter.
