Title: Night creatures: how to become them?
Post by: Poot on March 19, 2012, 03:52:18 am

Had this question in the little questions thread but got no bites.

Becoming a vampire is easy enough: just lick the blood on you. But what of the others?

Thanks much in advance.

Werecreature: get bitten by one.

Dunno about the others. I don´t think you can become a bogeyman, for example. Well, probably with using that bodyswap thingy in dfhack.

I was afraid you'd say that about werebeasts. Is there an easy way of contracting it? Seems like those werebeasts that I go to kill are all in human form.

Also I believe you can become a husk, too.

you need to wait untill full moon when they transform.

walking into evil mists occasionally transforms you into a husk or mist zombie, which is essentially the same.

you can become a necromancer by reading the slab in the towers or by reading some of the books created during world gen.
