An uppity sort of surface-dwelling, hairless ape. Dwarves think of them as fragile, elves think of them as clumsy, and monsters think of them as tasty.

“Do you know
Do I know
What’s this thing called ‘man’?
God only knows what a man is!
I only know his price.”
-Bertolt Brecht, “The Measures Taken”. 1930.

Useful Info

Humans are uncommon creatures in the dungeon and generally aren't very threatening. If you see one, it's either a shapeshifter, a sign of a nearby vault (e.g., "yak farm" or "sword in the stone"), or an outrider for one of a few uniques.

Tips & Tricks

Although generally very easy if you meet them, humans can be dangerous if spawned with crossbows, branded weapons, or tower shields, and they pack a surprisingly strong punch if they meet a low-level character.

Variant Humans

You can find deformed, febrile, or sickly humans in some of the sealed chambers in Cigotuvi's Fleshworks.

A poor creature that looks hideously deformed.

History

Prior to 0.14, there were ghosts of human monks in Wucad Mu's Monastery.
Prior to 0.13, some vaults could contain sacrificial humans, which were regular humans with a custom description.

-'''Humans''' are uncommon creatures in the dungeon and generally aren't very threatening. If you see one, it's either a [[shapeshifter]], a sign of a nearby vault (''e.g.'', "[[yak]] farm" or "sword in the stone"), or an outrider for one of a few [[unique monster|unique]]s.

-Also, several "other" monsters leave human [[corpse]]s:  [[Prince Ribbit]], [[wizard]]s, [[vault guard]]s, [[Hell knight]]s, [[Paladin (monster)|Paladins]].  Such monsters will be animated into human [[zombie]]s, [[skeleton]]s, or [[simulacra]]; such [[derived undead]] can be found occasionally in areas such as [[the Tomb]] or [[the Crypt]], as well as in a few specific vaults.
 ==Tips & Tricks==
-Although generally very easy if you meet them, humans can be dangerous if spawned with [[crossbow]]s, branded weapons, or [[large shield]]s, and pack a surprisingly strong punch if they meet a low-level character.

 ===Variant Humans===
-A variety of demonic vaults will contain '''sacrificial humans'''. These are generally found locked away in cages and are neutral to you. Once freed, they will seek to leave the floor as quickly as possible.

-[[File:Human monk.png]] The ghosts of '''human monks''' will occasionally coalesce as you travel in [[Wucad Mu's Monastery]]. As these count as summons, they can be quickly disposed of with [[Abjuration]], and they will stop spawning once you destroy the statue of Wucad Mu in the heart of the monastery.
