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. They are defined by the warm-blooded or cold-blooded tags.

Useful Info

While blood seems cosmetic, creating blood splatters all over the Dungeon floor, it is used for a few mechanics within the game:

  • Skysharks check for blood with their Bloodzerk attack flavour. If the skyshark's Bloodzerk attack deals damage to a target with blood, it will gain might for a short period. If it damages a target with blood again, it will go berserk.
  • The player demonspawn mutation, Ignite Blood will create flame clouds whenever blood would splatter.

Blood temperature

Creatures with blood can either be cold-blooded or warm-blooded:

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).
