More -man creatures!
« on: November 16, 2007, 07:33:00 am »

Hey Toady, how about some more man creatures? Leechmen totally rules! How about Sharkmen, suddenly raiding your fortress, coming from the ocean, or maybe Purring maggot men!  :cool: The weirded the creature, better!

I think the community'd much rather prefer creatures with more tags that they can play with, instead of generic -man creatures..

Like gelatinous cubes. :3

A Blob creature would be nice.  Anything it (Somehow) kills would be absorbed, so, if you rush it with a few dogs, you'll probably have a fortress-killing machine. Or a large cleaning job, but seeing your dwarves scream and flee from a massive purple blob of goo would be fun.

It would spawn from concentrated miasma or something because that would be awesome!! Something like four or five corpses in the same area rotting should cause it to spawn and begin attacking any nearby living things. But it gives us another reason to hate cats. And sieges.

Personally I like Snailmen.  Wish they would drop a giant snail shell or something though.

Yeah, I don't think we need more -mans right now...

Well perhaps we can come to some sort of compromise, how about pigmen, who have the uncanny ability to dig up truffles.

That could be quite good, actually. Catch one in a cage, and tame it and you've got a foodmaking machine. Just add in a "Work pigmen" labor and you're set.
