Summary0001087: Skeletal/zombie creature description says they're bleeding, severed parts leave blood trail
DescriptionI did some fights in the arena with the new undead and noticed something in the unit description.
"His [severed body part] is gouting [species] blood"
Why are severed body parts listed as gouting and why is there blood involved?
also, the severed parts create blood splatter on impact.
Steps To Reproducechop off some skeleton's body parts
Additional InformationThough there is blood in bones, I don't think some century-old skeleton guarding an ancient place should have anything that splatters anymore. :D
TagsFixed in 0.40.01?, undead

I'm noticing this with zombies as well.

What about the "gouting"? I can't make heads nor tail of it. Isn't gout a totally unrelated disease? Unrelated to chopping arms of, that is.

Why are severed body parts listed there anyway?
I don't mean "His/Her [body part] is gone", no they were listed as "His/Her [body part] is gouting" even though it lay several meters away.

I've got it on a skeletal elk that I jumped off a tower with. New health system shows it has arteries in three leg muscles that have all been torn, which is where all the blood is coming from.

re Footkerchief adding the tag:

When I was fighting that zombie giant tiger, I noticed that it said it was bleeding, but since I didn't lop off any parts, I didn't see any blood being spattered around.

Or maybe it was those peasant skeletons raised from a temple, I forget exactly.

Should be easy to test in arena.

Edit: Okay, tested in arena with a zombie giant tiger (no armor, obviously) and a dwarf in full steel, steel shield and short sword, and with grand master observer, dodger, shield, and armor using, and skilled swordsman. Took a little while, but after I lopped off a paw, heavy bleeding showed up when I looked at it. Plus theres a spattering of giant tiger blood where the severed paw is.

Edit2: Version 40.09

smjjames: zombies bleeding is fine. It's only weird if skeletal creatures bleed.

Okay, I'll check that, when I can. I don't think you can make creatures skeletal in arena.
