'''Cave floaters''' are small floating creatures full of gas that supposedly causes a [[syndrome]] found in the deepest [[cavern]]s. The good news is said syndrome won't kill your dwarves. The bad news is it's nearly impossible to avoid contamination as it's an inhaled projectile weapon. It isn't typically necessary to fight these creatures, but if you must you'll want to shoot it from afar. | '''Cave floaters''' are small floating creatures full of gas that supposedly causes a [[syndrome]] found in the deepest [[cavern]]s.

This juice, despite being described as hot doesn't seem to cause burns or indeed do much of anything. an unarmored elf took no damage from being squirted by about 20 floaters. |
If you manage to kill a cave floater without puncturing it, take care NOT to butcher the corpse, as it will detonate the gas right there in the butcher's shop. It's not generally worth it anyways, as the only thing produced will be a single cave floater skin (which will turn into '''more''' poisonous gas the instant you attempt to tan it{{bug|1448}}). | If you manage to kill a cave floater without puncturing it, take care NOT to butcher the corpse, as it will detonate the gas right there in the butcher's shop.
