Editing Biomes (section)

= Vermin =
Usually non-magical creatures from no intelligence to animal intelligence at most, which are harmful to the societies, and which spread diseases and promote uncleanliness. They thrive wherever there is enough food and warmth. Their high numbers can become a real nuisance in biomes with high temperatures and a lot of food available. They carry with them diseases, which, when caught, will take long time to heal - they feel like ever so slight poisoning, but the feeling will persist. The best way to avoid contracting disease is to not let them touch you - either cleanse them with e.g. fire, or hit them so hard they can't bite you back. Getting rid of vermin is a beneficial act for any society, so killing vermin will give you an occasional karma drop. This category includes e.g. flies, rats, termites, centipedes, etc. Warning: Among the most powerful of the vermin, the 'tunnel worm' is capable of tearing through equipment easily. DO NOT MESS with tunnel worms unless you are ready to get serious equipment damage. They are not aggro. Any losses inflicted by tunnel worms will not be reimbursed.
