This article is about an older version of DF.

Hills are a biome characterized by moderate rainfall and high drainage.

Hills in DF have more in common with flatlands than they do with mountains. They contain one or more soil layers. They usually have many plants and a moderate amount of trees.

However, hills (even savage ones) tend to have little or no wildlife. This is the result of what may be an oversight: there is no biome token specifically for hills, so the only creatures that appear there are those that appear in a broad category of regions such as ANY_LAND (such as some types of vermin and the occasional megabeast or semi-megabeast).
