− | RCP stands for "[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=30026.msg831163#msg831163 random creature profile]". RCP is hard-coded [[raw]] text that defines the basic body, tissues and body attacks of a random creature before it goes under further randomness (three-eyed, wings of stretched skin, external ribs, elemental composition, etc.). Most amphibian, mammalian and reptilian RCPs have humanoid variations of themselves, described as "in humanoid form" or "twisted into humanoid form". There are 243 standard RCPs and 81 humanoid variations, which brings the known total to 324. | + | RCP stands for "[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=30026.msg831163#msg831163 random creature profile]".

The RCP of a randomly generated creature can be identified by its description. Many RCPs have identical names with normal [[creature]]s (e.g. [[albatross]]), although they are entirely unrelated; other RCPs feature animals that don't exist anywhere else, such as zebras. Some RCPs have inherent abilities like flight or [[web]]bing. | The RCP of a randomly generated creature can be identified by its description.
