More undead!
« on: February 29, 2008, 10:10:00 am »
I think it would be interesting if the ability to mod in different forms of undead were possible. There could be tokens that make a creature eligible for an undead type. That way it would be possible to have vampire dwarves, but not vampire cows.     :)

Imagine vampire humpback whales.

I thought vampires couldn't go past or be in running water. So I think vampire carp are out due to that.

Probably only the carp in my forts, but they usually swim around in blood from my dwarves (and any pets getting too close)...   :D

Wouldn't ghosts be a more sensible type of undead?

Ghosts are planned.

Anyway, vampires would be fairly simple to do. Toady could simply use the same "corpse reanimation" thingy that spawns zombies and skeletons, make a new phenomenon that sucks blood. And say, have it only killable by mangling it's heart.

If that death condition was applied, the case of Bronze Colossi vampires, we are screwed.

Vampires also die from decapitation -- and exploding their torso is like decapitating them (it gets the same effect, anyway.)

Yeah, I know. Head, upper and lower body.

So, there are already vampires? I assume they are creatures of their own right as opposed to a class of creatures?

I don't think there are. I've never seen a vampire in DF, and I never saw them mention on forums.

Vampire Carp can adapt to anything. Who cares about old vampire myths and such? Vampire Carp will be suckin your dwarves soon!

That's not new, there's already an attack that sucks blood. Vampire Carp are closer than you think!
