Frequently Asked Questions

Wifi: /* Why was I banned? */

== Server Questions ==

=== When are games played? ===
Games can be played at any time, and will start automatically once 10 players have queued, but generally weekends are the most active periods on the server. We play scheduled weekly games every Saturday starting from around 1pm US Eastern time. If you'd like to be notified when these games start, you can join our Discord server, where you can also enable an optional 'Game Alert' role to be notified when games start during the rest of the week.

=== How can I report rulebreaking? ===
If you think someone's breaking the [https://coathar.com/rules rules], please use the in-game report command: '''/report [player] [reason]'''. If you can't give a player name, for example because you aren't sure which player is responsible, you can use '''?''' in place of the player name, for example /report ? flying golem. Before reporting, please take note of the following points:
* Don't discuss the issue in chat or attempt to bait the player; just /report and move on. Calling out rulebreaking in chat is against the server rules.
* Be as descriptive as possible, to help moderators deal with the issue quickly. For example, don't just write 'hacking' if you can be more descriptive.
* Don't ask other people to report. We only require one report to investigate an issue, and reports based on hearsay create more work as they aren't reliable. Don't assume your report isn't being dealt with simply because the player's still in the game - sometimes it can take time to investigate an issue properly. Reporting alerts moderators even if they're not in the game.

=== What's the number on tab for? ===
The number next to people's names on the player list represents server experience (XP) level. Experience is earned based on playtime (via loot chests), unlocking [[achievements]] and completing [[quests]]. Some other actions on the server also give small amounts of bonus experience. Server experience has no purpose other than display.

=== I'm having trouble with the resource pack ===
: ''Main article: [[Resource Packs]]''

=== Why was I banned? ===
If you've been banned from the server, it's most likely for severe or multiple violations of the [https://coathar.com/rules rules].

To find out what to do next, check the ban message when you try to log into the server.
* If the ban is temporary (i.e. gives a date the ban will expire), just wait for the ban to end. We won't accept ban appeals for temporary bans. Take note of the ban reason and use the time to reflect on your behaviour, so that when your ban ends you can return and have fun.
* If the ban is permanent, you may be able to appeal the ban after one month has passed. You can appeal either on Discord by messaging Gazebot#6665, or via email by emailing appeals@coathar.com. Do not message individual admins for ban appeals. We'll take into account your appeal, ban reason and previous behaviour in deciding whether you should be unbanned.

'''Do not attempt to play on the server while banned.''' Ban evasion (joining on another account) will result in a permanent ban which cannot be appealed.

=== Why is my hero toggle locked? ===

Admins may sometimes lock players' hero toggle, preventing them from being selected as a hero, as punishment for certain bad behavior. The most common reason for this is being rude about other players who have been selected as hero - if you can't be respectful towards other players when it's their turn to be hero, you don't get a turn. Other punishments may apply alongside this depending on the situation.

If you have been hero locked, this will be shown in the DvZ options menu when trying to toggle hero opt-in. If the hero toggle option doesn't say it's locked, your hero is not locked. Remember that heroes are selected using random number generation each game, and this means that sometimes you will naturally go several games without being selected - this is ''not'' being hero locked.

A hero lock can be appealed after 30 days, using the same contact methods as [[FAQ/Bans|ban appeals]].

=== Can I submit a map? ===

We do accept map submissions, but it's important that you read all the [[Mapmaking|mapmaking information]] first.

=== Why does it say the server is whitelisted? ===
Occasionally we may need to enable a temporary whitelist to ensure games are able to run smoothly. We try to minimise these periods and will always aim to disable the whitelist as soon as possible. If you try to join and the server says it's whitelisted, we're sorry for the inconvenience and would ask you to try again another day. The whitelist is based on a regularly-updated list of active players; please note that we can't manually whitelist players, so please don't pester staff with requests.

== Gameplay Questions ==

=== Are there different dwarf classes? ===
This version of Dwarves vs Zombies doesn't have different dwarf classes, dwarf upgrades or loadouts. All dwarves have the same abilities and starting gear, with the exception of heroes which are selected randomly when the game begins.

=== What is gold for? ===
Gold in the lobby is earned by playing games, and is used to purchase cosmetic items such as toys and boots, which can only be used in the lobby.

In-game gold is a separate mechanic, and is used for dwarven armor repair. See [[Dwarven_Equipment#Gold|the gold section]] for more information.

=== How do I get a better weapon? ===
There are no weapons that normal dwarves can acquire that are better than the default weapons. Items with a light blue name are all equal to the default variations of those items, and the only items with any gameplay advantage are those with gold names which only heroes start with.

=== Why do I sometimes earn more monster mana? ===
Monsters earn extra mana if they died to the plague, and also earn bonus mana while standing in a shrine region. Additionally, in small games (20 players or fewer) all monsters earn more mana. If more players join later so that the game is no longer considered small, this extra mana is disabled.

=== Where is _______? ===
Most of the important waypoints on the map are denoted by using [[Compass|/compass]]. You can click on the waypoint you wish to go to and follow the compass to where you want to go.

=== What are cakes for? ===
Cake is a fun item that is a holdover from back when dwarves needed to eat so they didn't starve and could sprint. Because eating is no longer required, cakes do nothing except when [[SuperHorse]] is around.

=== What is that achievement for? ===
[[Achievements]] are fully explained on their own page, however hovering over the name of the achievement in chat after someone has earned it will explain its requirements.

=== What is 'Rush Mode'? ===
: ''Main article: [[Rush Mode]]''

Rush Mode is a special mode where game progression is sped up, making the game more challenging for dwarves. Players can sometimes queue Rush Mode games from the lobby depending on how many players are online, or they may be queued by admins. They are also sometimes used to test updates.

Wifi: February Skeleton Adjustments

{{:Test Games}}

== What are we testing? ==
Today's test games include changes to skeletons in order to reduce their tankiness.

=== Skeletons ===
* Nerfed Healing Tonic full restore -> 25%.

The healing tonic should no longer give skeletons a second life line in the middle of a melee. Instead the primary use will be for restoring some health once away from the melee.

=== Wither Skeletons ===
* Halved health restoration from Darkness Devours.

This change prevents wither skeletons from both having high dps and survivability. Withers will need to land more hits in order to benefit from the healing bonuses.

=== Impact Skeletons ===
* Increased charging time of Demolisher.
* Demolisher now roots in place once charged.

This change prevents Impact skeletons from only briefly peeking corners to fire Demolisher, instead they must commit to their Demolisher arrows. The increased charge time and rooting effect will make them more vulnerable to dwarves attacking them.

Events

2023-12-09T17:52:03Z

Wifi: /* Winter Event */

Over the course of the year there are a number of '''events''' that occur for a short time. During these events, some game mechanics will differ and there will be a [[Quests|quest]] tailored to that event for the duration. The past events are listed below.

== April Event ==

Occurring in early April each year, the April Event adds temporary changes which are fun and slightly silly but may not be as balanced as regular gameplay. The following features have been exclusive to the event.

=== Gazebogotchi ===
During the April Event, dwarves will spawn with a Gazebogotchi in their [[Strongbox]]. Clicking the the Gazebogotchi will add a new set of items to the player's crafting grid in their inventory. Players take care of their Gazebogotchi by feeding it cake as a dwarf or sating its bloodlust as a monster, and interacting with it to keep it happy. Gazebogotchis which survive an entire game will increase the player's progress toward the Gazebogotchi Guardian [[Quests|Quest]].

=== Death Replies ===
During the April Event, players will have a new option in their player menus to enable a feature called Death Replies. Enabling this feature will cause dwarves to automatically send a message "explaining" their death the instant they die.

=== Emboars ===
[[File:Emboar.png|250px|frameless|right]]

: ''Main article: [[Emboar]]''
During the April Event, players can spawn as a new special monster, the Emboar, which disrupts dwarves and damages walls.

=== Challenge Mode ===
During the April Event, dwarves spawn with both a special wrench and potion in their Strongbox.

Using the wrench after being armored will replace the dwarf's helmet, leggings and boots with weaker iron armor. Challenge armor consumes less gold when repairing, and the wrench can be used again to restore regular dwarven armor. Kills gained while wearing the weaker armor count towards the Dress to Distress Quest if it is active.

Using the potion will halve the dwarf's maximum mana. Using it again, like the wrench, will restore the dwarf to their previous maximum mana. Kills gained while using the reduced mana cap will count toward the Halved Heartrate Havoc Quest if it is active.

Heroes are unable to use both challenge mode armor and challenge mode mana.

=== SuperHorse ===
[[File:Super horse.png|250px|frameless|right]]

: ''Main article: [[SuperHorse]]''

During the April Event SuperHorse is guaranteed to spawn in every game (unless it is [[Rush Mode]]), regardless of size. He also does not impede the spawning of other heroes.
 

=== Distraction Creepers ===

To complement the existing damage and destruction creeper paths, Distraction Creepers can confuse and bewilder dwarves. Distraction creepers are able to hide in the undergrowth and make strange noises to lure dwarves into danger, leaving the shrines undefended from monster attacks. Any creeper can use this ability by right-clicking their explosion, regardless of upgrade path.

== Halloween Event ==

Occurring around Halloween, the Halloween Event includes changes which bring a spooky, scary tone to this game about zombies and skeletons.

=== SuperHorse ===
[[File:Super horse skeleton.png|250px|frameless|right]]

: ''Main article: [[SuperHorse]]''

SuperHorse can appear in the Halloween event, dressed in a skeleton costume. Unlike the April Event he is not guaranteed to spawn every game, but is added to the Minor Hero pool.
 

=== AI Ghosts ===
[[File:Ghost.png|250px|frameless|right]]
As well as the normal AI Zombies, AI Ghosts will spawn around player Monsters near dwarves.

Ghosts have the following properties:
* Partially invisible
* Higher jumps
* Pass through dwarf blocks
* Slightly floats when falling

In addition to regular ghosts, some ghosts spawn with special abilities:
* The '''Polterthrice''' splits into three smaller ghosts upon death, which will attack the dwarf who killed it
* The '''Shrill-o-Wisp''' releases a pulse of fire which damages and ignites nearby dwarves
* When the '''Popular Ghost''' is killed, other nearby ghosts will try to avenge it and will gain speed and strength buffs

=== Player Ghosts ===
When under the effects of the Ghastly Moon players will be able to spawn as Ghosts with the following abilities:
* Pass through sufficiently sized walls
* Toggleable jump boost
* Spawns only AI ghosts

=== Moon Events ===
[[File:Moon Events.png|thumb|right|Special moon events shown left to right: Ghastly Moon, Dark Moon, and Blood Moon.]]
Moon events with special effects will occasionally take place instead of the normal Temporal Shifts. These events still advance the time to midnight while also providing effects when under their moonlight.

Ghastly Moon:
* Any AIs spawning in an area exposed to the moonlight will always be ghosts
* Special ghosts are more likely to spawn
* Players will spawn as Ghosts instead of Zombies

Dark Moon
* Dwarves exposed to the moonlight will be unable to regenerate mana past 75% of their maximum mana

Blood Moon
* Bleeding dwarves taking damage when exposed to the moonlight will take increased damage

=== Bats ===

When a dwarf dies during the Halloween Event, they emit a puff of smoke and bats fly out of their tummy. The bats cannot be killed and will linger on as a squeaky reminder of your fallen comrades.

== Winter Event ==

Occurring around Christmas, the Winter Event puts on a seasonal layer of paint over the game as a whole but does not alter much core gameplay, leaving most of it to be cosmetic.

=== Presents ===

During the Winter Event, [[Monsters#Special_Monsters|Special Monsters]] that are slain will drop presents on the ground.

Right clicking these presents as a dwarf will pick them up, providing bulk scavenger rewards and increasing the counter on the sidebar for each present collected. Presents collected count towards the Special Delivery [[Quests|quest]].

Right clicking presents as a monster will destroy them, preventing dwarves from getting bonus resources.

=== Snowballs ===

Players can right click on snow layers to collect snowballs which can be thrown at other players to disrupt them.

Heroes

2023-10-14T23:52:12Z

Wifi: /* Minor Heroes */ lord abilities

At the beginning of nearly every game a small selection of dwarves are chosen to become '''heroes'''. Heroes are individuals with additional or enhanced powers over regular dwarves, but can do everything a normal dwarf can do. These heroes are split into two categories that vary in relative power and spawning requirements.

To become a hero, you are simply chosen completely randomly from the pool of players at the beginning of the game, excluding players which have opted out of becoming a hero or those which have opted into the [[Plague]].

== Spawning Requirements ==

Different numbers of players in the game at the start will result in a different number of heroes comprising different amounts of Major and Minor Heroes. The ramp up of these requirements is detailed below:
* Under 10 players, no hero will spawn.
* Between 10 and 14 players, one Minor Hero will spawn.
* Between 15 and 19 players, two Minor Heroes will spawn.
* Between 20 and 24 players, three Minor Heroes will spawn.
* Between 25 and 29 players, one Major Hero and two Minor Heroes will spawn.
* Between 30 and 34 players, two Major Heroes and one Minor Hero will spawn.
* With 35 or more players, three Major Heroes will spawn.
* If the game is in [[Rush Mode]], no hero will spawn regardless of player count.

== Universal Hero Abilities ==

There is a small number of abilities each hero has regardless of who they are. These are listed below:
* Every single hero receives immunity to Blindness in the dark. Though this is incredibly useful in melee combat for constantly critical hitting and ranged combat to see far off targets, it does not prevent monsters that get buffs in the dark such as [[Zombie|Zombies]], [[Venomburner|Venomburners]], and [[Wolf|Wolves]], so placing light sources can still be useful.
* All heroes are immune to the [[Plague]].
* All heroes receive a Healing Ale of some sort that can purge all negative status effects such as burning, poison, etc.
* All Heroes receive some sort of Knockback Resistance item, that being an item they either wear or hold that negates all non-explosion knockback effects.
* Hero boots all have Feather Falling V on them.

== Minor Heroes ==

Minor Heroes are somewhat selfish, their abilities are mostly of benefit to themselves though do have some level of team utility. They are however much weaker than Major Heroes and only receive one special item outside of the Minor Hero kit.

The current Minor Heroes and their special items are as follows:
* [[Grand Paladin Ziros]]
** '''Lightbringer''' - A sword which empowers Ziros with longer rampages.
* [[Salogel Sureshot]]
** '''Nohdalag''' - A bow that does an area of effect of damage upon hitting monsters.
* [[Lord of the Undead]]
** '''Staff of Defile''' - A shovel that empowers Lord with additional Momentum hearts when slaying monsters, and double Scavenger.
* [[Priestess Arianna]]
** '''Ruby Necklace''' - A Healing Ale that can place Regeneration and Night Vision wards and give Regeneration IV upon healing.
* [[Guard Captain Alfon]]
** '''Hookshot''' - A tool that allows Alfon to hook monsters to him and hook himself to locations.
* [[Myra the Unseen]]
** '''Athalux''' - A dagger that enables Myra to move at blinding speeds.

=== Minor Hero Kit ===

Minor Heroes generally receive 5 Wiggly Wrenches, 7 Slabs, 20 Enchanted Lamps, 32 Super Mortar, 5 stacks of Cobblestone, 2 stacks of Arrows, a permanently activated Dwarven Oak Shield, a Mighty Healing Ale, and their one special item.

Some of these items may possibly be replaced with the special hero item each hero spawns with, but that item is either equivalent or better than what would have been provided. A few of the heroes are also provided title weapons or renamed armor, but these give no gameplay advantage.

[[File:Dwarven_Shield.png|32px|frameless|left]]

==== Dwarven Shield ====

 
''These heavy shields were once used in the Great Wars by dwarven soldiers. Few survived the devastation and they are now wielded by only our finest.''

* A shield which negates all knockback when held and can be used to block 50% incoming damage when right clicked, it also does not need to be charged like the normal Dwarven Oak Shield and is always active.

 
[[File:Healing ale.png|32px|frameless|left]]

==== Mighty Healing Ale ====

 
''My friend, Jimmy is stuck with the crappy ale. You, however, get the good stuff.''

* Same as a regular Healing Ale except it purges all negative status effects except nausea such as poison, burning, slowness, wither, etc.

== Major Heroes ==

Major Heroes are incredibly powerful, game-shaping individuals with abilities that affect the dwarves as a whole. They all play extremely differently, almost as if playing different classes that dominate the battlefield simply with their presence alone.

The current Major Heroes and their special items are as follows:
* [[General Kurt]]
** '''Caliburn''' - A greatly empowered golden sword that gives Kurt longer rampages and kills monsters around him.
** '''Melia''' - A powerful bow with Punch X.
** '''Horn of the Buffalo''' - A Horn that allows Kurt to empower all dwarves with a special rampage globally.
* [[Magnus the Red]]
** '''Holy Purifier''' - A flamethrower.
** '''Holy Water''' - A Healing Ale that can heal all nearby dwarves in an area of effect.
* [[Sprocket]]
** '''Tinder Flame MV711''' - A hitscan gun that also acts as Sprocket's sword.
** '''Wand of Limited Probabilities''' - A wand that casts random spells as well as a global shield of absorption hearts.
** '''Gnomish Rocket Boots''' - A set of boots that launch Sprocket in a desired direction.
* [[Margrave Hector]]
** '''Durendal''' - A longsword that gives Hector an extra block of range in melee.
** '''Runic Aegis''' - A shield that gives all nearby dwarves and himself Resistance as well as globally give everyone Resistance and Knockback Resistance.
* [[Lady Lorelei]]
** '''Regrowth Pendant''' - A Healing Ale that allows Lorelei to heal others and pick up monsters.
** '''Empyrean''' - A bow that shoots beams that penetrates monsters and gives dwarves rampages.

=== Major Hero Kit ===

Major Heroes generally receive 5 Wiggly Wrenches, 7 Slabs, 20 Enchanted Lamps, 32 Super Mortar, 5 stacks of Cobblestone, 2 stacks of Arrows, a Mighty Healing Ale, and their special items. They also receive Dwarven Hero Armor which has Unbreaking X on every piece, Protection II and a health boost of an additional 2.5 hearts on the Chestplate and Leggings, and Knockback Resistance on the helmet.

Like Minor Heroes, some of these items may possibly be replaced with the special hero item each hero spawns with, but that item is either equivalent or better than what would have been provided. A few of the heroes are also provided title weapons or renamed armor, but these give no gameplay advantage.

== Event Heroes ==

Event Heroes are those which typically only spawn during [[Events]]. They are generally more whimsical and unbalanced than typical heroes and may not adhere to the normal Major/Minor Hero scheme the others do.

The current Event Heroes and their special items are as follows:
* [[SuperHorse]]
** '''Mighty Hooves''' - A sword that gives SuperHorse the ability to leap.
** '''Equine Arrowslinger''' - A bow with Infinity.
** '''Super Saddle''' - A saddle that gives SuperHorse the ability to pick up dwarves and give them rampages, as well as Jump Boost in an area of effect.

'''Salogel Sureshot''' is a [[Heroes#Minor_Heroes|Minor Hero]] and wielder of Nohdalag.

: ''The most skilled of [[Lady Lorelei|Lady Lorelei's]] Elven Royal Guard, Salogel earned her title of Sureshot through sheer skill. Quiet and reserved, Salogel is timid to those closest, but of those there are not many; preferring to complete her tasks as directed and move on, and those tasks she does excel at.''

== Items ==

In addition to the standard [[Heroes#Minor_Hero_Kit|Minor Hero kit]], Salogel carries the bow Nohdalag, and its eternal Arrow of Light.

[[File:Nohdalag.png|frameless|left]]

=== Nohdalag ===

 
: ''Made with strings of pure light, the shockwaves produced from Salogel firing arrows are not entirely the bow's doing. Some of that is all her.''

* Striking a monster with an arrow will produce a 3x3 Area of Effect of radiant light centered around the monster hit which damages all monsters in that area as if they were also struck by an arrow. This effect is denoted by a cloud of gold particles and is also subject to the same mechanics as Dwarven Shortbows, reducing its damage by 70% indoors and by 100% within 5 blocks.
* Left clicking with Nohdalag will toggle Deft Draw, allowing Salogel to shoot a rampage infused arrow at targets without first getting a rampage. The cooldown for the next use is reduced based on the number of targets hit by the arrow's radiance effect.
* Salogel does not need to craft arrows; as Nohdalag has Infinity it only requires its solitary single Arrow of Light.

== Tips as Salogel ==

* During build phase Salogel can provide much of her excess arrows to other dwarves who need them and prioritize building and mining gold over the time should would have spent crafting arrows.
* Outside Salogel is especially effective striking from great heights. With no blindness in the dark, no limit on arrows, and a larger hit region as long as she at least hits one monster, she can take out large swaths of monsters from range. Small monsters like [[Rat|Rats]], [[Digging Zombie|Digging Zombies]], and [[Spiderling|Spiderlings]] become much easier to hit as they do not need to be hit directly.
* Inside, though damage is reduced, Salogel can still strike groups of AI Zombies to weaken them and easily start rampages, as well as get more value from shooting monsters while rampaging to one-shot them.
* Though inconsistent, Salogel can shoot a monster and take out her sword, and if the area of effect from the hit kills a monster within 5 blocks of her it will provide her with a rampage.

Achievements

Wifi:

As long as there are at least 10 players in a Gazebo DvZ game, players can earn '''achievements'''. Achievements are earnable awards that recognize somewhat rarer events that occur to players and their team over the course of a game. Achievements cannot be earned until monsters are released, and the reward for doing them is server XP.

There are basic 4 categories of achievements; Dwarf, [[Heroes|Hero]], [[Monsters|Monster]], and General, and 3 levels of achievements; Common, Rare, and Team. Common achievements can be earned multiple times but only show for all players once when first unlocked, Rare can be unlocked and earned multiple times and shows for all players each time, and Team can be earned repeatedly and are unlocked as long as you are on the team it is earned for at that point of the game.

In addition to the basic categories of achievements, there are additional categories for [[Events|seasonal event]] achievements which make use of the unique mechanics available during the event.

Similar to achievements are [[quests]], which are achievements that run for a limited time but have progress persist from game to game in that time period. These are listed on their own page.

Achievements cannot be earned in [[Rush Mode]], or any game with fewer than 10 players.

Events

2022-10-24T22:20:09Z

Wifi: /* Halloween Event */

Over the course of the year there are a number of '''events''' that occur for a short time. During these events, some game mechanics will differ and there will be a [[Quests|quest]] tailored to that event for the duration. The past events are listed below.

== April Event ==

Occurring in early April each year, the April Event adds temporary changes which are fun and slightly silly but may not be as balanced as regular gameplay. The following features have been exclusive to the event.

=== Gazebogotchi ===
During the April Event, dwarves will spawn with a Gazebogotchi in their [[Strongbox]]. Clicking the the Gazebogotchi will add a new set of items to the player's crafting grid in their inventory. Players take care of their Gazebogotchi by feeding it cake as a dwarf or sating its bloodlust as a monster, and interacting with it to keep it happy. Gazebogotchis which survive an entire game will increase the player's progress toward the Gazebogotchi Guardian [[Quests|Quest]].

=== Death Replies ===
During the April Event, players will have a new option in their player menus to enable a feature called Death Replies. Enabling this feature will cause dwarves to automatically send a message "explaining" their death the instant they die.

=== Emboars ===
[[File:Emboar.png|250px|frameless|right]]

: ''Main article: [[Emboar]]''
During the April Event, players can spawn as a new special monster, the Emboar, which disrupts dwarves and damages walls.

=== Challenge Mode ===
During the April Event, dwarves spawn with both a special wrench and potion in their Strongbox.

Using the wrench after being armored will replace the dwarf's helmet, leggings and boots with weaker iron armor. Challenge armor consumes less gold when repairing, and the wrench can be used again to restore regular dwarven armor. Kills gained while wearing the weaker armor count towards the Dress to Distress Quest if it is active.

Using the potion will halve the dwarf's maximum mana. Using it again, like the wrench, will restore the dwarf to their previous maximum mana. Kills gained while using the reduced mana cap will count toward the Halved Heartrate Havoc Quest if it is active.

Heroes are unable to use both challenge mode armor and challenge mode mana.

=== SuperHorse ===
[[File:Super horse.png|250px|frameless|right]]

: ''Main article: [[SuperHorse]]''

During the April Event SuperHorse is guaranteed to spawn in every game (unless it is [[Rush Mode]]), regardless of size. He also does not impede the spawning of other heroes.
 

=== Distraction Creepers ===

To complement the existing damage and destruction creeper paths, Distraction Creepers can confuse and bewilder dwarves. Distraction creepers are able to hide in the undergrowth and make strange noises to lure dwarves into danger, leaving the shrines undefended from monster attacks. Any creeper can use this ability by right-clicking their explosion, regardless of upgrade path.

== Halloween Event ==

Occurring around Halloween, the Halloween Event includes changes which bring a spooky, scary tone to this game about zombies and skeletons.

=== SuperHorse ===
[[File:Super horse skeleton.png|250px|frameless|right]]

: ''Main article: [[SuperHorse]]''

SuperHorse can appear in the Halloween event, dressed in a skeleton costume. Unlike the April Event he is not guaranteed to spawn every game, but is added to the Minor Hero pool.
 

=== AI Ghosts ===
[[File:Ghost.png|250px|frameless|right]]
As well as the normal AI Zombies, AI Ghosts will spawn around player Monsters near dwarves.

Ghosts have the following properties:
* Partially invisible
* Higher jumps
* Pass through dwarf blocks
* Slightly floats when falling

In addition to regular ghosts, some ghosts spawn with special abilities:
* The '''Polterthrice''' splits into three smaller ghosts upon death, which will attack the dwarf who killed it
* The '''Shrill-o-Wisp''' releases a pulse of fire which damages and ignites nearby dwarves
* When the '''Popular Ghost''' is killed, other nearby ghosts will try to avenge it and will gain speed and strength buffs

=== Player Ghosts ===
When under the effects of the Ghastly Moon players will be able to spawn as Ghosts with the following abilities:
* Pass through sufficiently sized walls
* Toggleable jump boost
* Spawns only AI ghosts

=== Moon Events ===
[[File:Moon Events.png|thumb|right|Special moon events shown left to right: Ghastly Moon, Dark Moon, and Blood Moon.]]
Moon events with special effects will occasionally take place instead of the normal Temporal Shifts. These events still advance the time to midnight while also providing effects when under their moonlight.

Ghastly Moon:
* Any AIs spawning in an area exposed to the moonlight will always be ghosts
* Special ghosts are more likely to spawn
* Players will spawn as Ghosts instead of Zombies

Dark Moon
* Dwarves exposed to the moonlight will be unable to regenerate mana past 75% of their maximum mana

Blood Moon
* Bleeding dwarves taking damage when exposed to the moonlight will take increased damage

=== Bats ===

When a dwarf dies during the Halloween Event, they emit a puff of smoke and bats fly out of their tummy. The bats cannot be killed and will linger on as a squeaky reminder of your fallen comrades.

== Winter Event ==

Occurring around Christmas, the Winter Event puts on a seasonal layer of paint over the game as a whole but does not alter any of its core gameplay, leaving most of it to be cosmetic.

=== Presents ===

During the Winter Event, [[Monsters#Special_Monsters|Special Monsters]] that are slain will drop presents on the ground. Right clicking these presents as a dwarf will pick them up, increasing the counter on the sidebar for each present collected. Presents collected count towards the Special Delivery [[Quests|quest]].

=== Snowmen ===
[[File:Snowman.png|250px|frameless|right]]

: ''Main article: [[Snowman]]''
During the Winter Event, players can spawn as a new special monster, the Snowman, which summons devastating snow squalls.
