"You hear a loud bark!"
« on: April 23, 2011, 03:52:22 pm »

I was just ambushed by a small gang of goblins and while hacking apart a wrestler I got the message "You hear a loud bark!"
I've killed all the goblins and the message keeps popping up, and frankly, it's scaring me. Anyone know what this means?

I'm pretty sure only capybara make noises as of yet, and they definitely bark. You've got some Rodents of Unusual Size near you.

Alright, I've look around a little and the barking has stopped and all I found was some ducks and a buzzard. I was scared the goblins had brought along some sort of siege creature and I had interrupted their raiding party.

EDIT: Nevermind, just found a rather large pack of capybara.

It's when they warn of danger. At other times they whistle.

It's a neat game mechanic, I've applied it to many creatures (so you hear moos, barking and meowing when you enter places with animals).

I'd love to make a cthulu-like creature that tells you that your end is near before consuming your soul.
