Evil regions may exist either on their own (where they are known as "primordial" evil regions) or they may be caused by the presence of [[demon]]s or [[necromancer]]s ruling over a [[site]] in it (known as "circumstantial" evil regions). An evil region possesses [[sphere]]s associated with the entities, if any, inhabiting it, which influences the surroundings to some extent. E.G: Blight, death, and disease regions kill plant life, while nightmare regions are home to [[Bogeyman|bogeymen]]. Primordial evil areas are eternal, but circumstantial evil regions may fade away if there is no activity in the area, making it possible to revert it back to normal. Presumably, slaying the demons or necromancers responsible for the corruption is the way to do so. | Evil regions may exist either on their own (where they are known as "primordial" evil regions) or they may be caused by the presence of [[demon]]s or [[necromancer]]s ruling over a [[site]] in it (known as "circumstantial" evil regions).

− | Most evil regions have associated evil [[weather]]. Evil clouds can inflict various [[syndrome]]s on par with those of [[forgotten beast]]s, or instantly transform creatures into freakishly powerful [[Undead#Thralls, Husks, and_Zombies|thralls]]. Evil rains may also inflict random evil syndromes, albeit less severe ones, and always cause unhappy [[thought]]s and a desire to wash (evil!). Evil rain won't refill pools, but a single evil biome may have both evil and regular rain, even at the same time. | + | Most evil regions have associated evil [[weather]].

About half of all evil regions are "reanimating", meaning that all wildlife and plantlife will be [[undead]], and any creature that dies will, after a short time, be reanimated as undead. Undead are hostile to all living creatures, and feel no fear or pain. In general, undead wildlife is '''extremely''' dangerous, especially in Terrifying regions, since the undead may include zombified fliers that swoop down and rip your dwarves to shreds with little to no warning at all, and even discounting those, typically harmless creatures like [[beaver]]s will turn out to be necro-buffed monstrosities that are out for all living blood. | About half of all evil regions are "reanimating", meaning that all wildlife and plantlife will be [[undead]], and any creature that dies will, after a short time, be reanimated as undead.
