Okay, i wanna make parasites.
the kind, that like.....merge with a character's body.

kinda like......alien parasites??

Like the "ithcool" from master or orion.

[Jeoshua]

Well there is [SPECIALATTACK_SUCK_BLOOD:min:max]

But no puppet masters.

[Reelyanoob]

Make an "infected with lice" syndrome for example?

[Necro910]

How about vermin that bite and die (merging... sorta), then give a contact syndrome. make sure [ENTER_BLOOD] is out, or else it won't spread like plague
 

[MASTER_PROGRAMMER]

it can't be vermin.....it has to be a normal creature.

but great ideas, and i mean that to everyone that's replied.

[MASTER_PROGRAMMER]

What i want, is for a creature to be able to only grab the player and suck blood, but allow the player to still move.....

is that even possible, or do i have to request it from the great makers of DF?

The only way you can get this to work is with vermin (like lice). If it's a creature (like a dog), then the dwarf/adventurer will run off, and the parasite will starve.

But with vermin, you could add a tag that makes it undetectable (I forgot the name:-[), so it can do its thing. The vermin could then to the "Suck blood" thing that someone else said, but it might cause it to be detected.

can a vermin latch onto a player, but the player is still allowed to move??!

It might, but an easier idea would to just have it follow the player around and have it leech. So basically, yes.

Booya!
....now, if only i could make it target only certain body-parts..... DX

It will bite a random part. What I suggested would be more of a stalking mosquito than an Alien Facehugger, but I think you will be satisfied :3

[MASTER_PROGRAMMER]

yep, that satisfies me for now......i hope the creators of DF add the ability to make creatures attack only certain body parts soon.

That would be bad.

what i want, is to make a parasite that replaces a character's leg or arm with the parasite. DX

it merges with the character's arm, and becomes the arm instead, and then using that arm from then on, would cause a blood-sucking effect......

I don't think that's possible.

You might be able to make leeches/mosquitoes, but not a biological prosthetic limb.
