Talk:Troglodyte

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki

It seems to me that the troglodytes are programmed to attack and chase civilians, but run away from military dwarfs. Can anyone confirm? Tallyho 09:03, 5 May 2008 (EDT)

Maybe they've got some kind of 'COWARDICE' flag set or something.

Speaking of which, what ARE these things? They sound like little tiny 'cavemen'/underdeveloped humans. ~ Midna 03:31, 5 December 2008 (EST)

Back in D&D, they were roughly human-sized or higher lizard creatures [1]. One of the few creatures to get an official rubber figurine back in the 1E days. -Fuzzy 09:12, 5 December 2008 (EST)

I always thought of it as a caveman - i.e. just an ordinary caveman like in the far side, since that's what the word traditionally means - didn't know about the D&D version. Random832 09:16, 5 December 2008 (EST)

You're all right. Troglodytes are (usually smelly) cave-dwelling sub-humans everywhere except D&D. D&D defined them as subterranean lizard-people with a stink power. Bitbender 18:36, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
