For the obsolete item, see potion of blood.
Blood is a liquid present within most natural creatures.
What has blood
Most player species have blood. The player species who don't are: undead species (ghoul, mummy, bloodless vampire), gargoyle, and djinni. Players may turn into a plant, nonliving, or undead transformation (Tree Form, Ice Form, Statue Form, Storm Form, Necromutation...), which removes their blood for its duration.
Draconians are cold-blooded.
Most monsters that are natural, and that are not insects, arachnids, jellies, or eyeballs, have blood. Some non-natural monsters, such as vampires, will also have blood. If a monster has either the "warm-blooded" or "cold-blooded" tag, it has blood.
Useful Info
While blood seems cosmetic, creating blood splatters all over the Dungeon floor, it is used for a few mechanics within the game:
- The spell Sublimation of Blood can only be cast if you are in a form with blood.
- Vampiric attack flavours (e.g. attacks from vampires; not including the vampiric weapon brand) only work on a target with blood.
- Skysharks check for blood with their Bloodzerk attack flavour. If a Bloodzerk deals damage to a target with blood, the skyshark will gain might for a short period. If the skyshark damages a valid target with bloodzerk again, it will go berserk.
- The player demonspawn mutation, Ignite Blood will create flame clouds whenever blood would splatter.
Despite its name, Wereblood does not require blood.
Blood temperature
Creatures with blood can either be cold-blooded or warm-blooded:
- Cold-blooded creatures have a 50% chance of being slowed when they are damaged by any of the following cold sources: Freezing-branded melee and ranged attacks, Freeze, Frozen Ramparts, Ozocubu's Refrigeration, and freezing vapour.
- In addition, cold-blooded monsters are slowed twice as long by Metabolic Englaciation.
- Warm-blooded creatures have no specific vulnerabilities (other than having blood in the first place).
History
- Prior to 0.24, Vampires would drink potions of blood in place of regular food.
- Prior to 0.17, creatures with blood were vulnerable to the bleeding status.
