[[File:Iron_golem.png|thumb|left|Admired for its stern appearance.]]

'''Iron men''' have the same average size as an adult human and can [[building destroyer|destroy buildings]]. Upon 'death' iron men become a random masterwork iron [[statue]]. Parts like thumbs and noses removed from the statue during combat may be [[melt item|melted]] at a [[smelter]] in order to produce a small amount of [[iron]].

Much like iron golems in other games, iron men breathe a poisonous gas. When inhaled, this poison gas causes a [[syndrome]] called "iron man cough", consisting of coughing up blood. Dwarves with standard disease resistance will experience a peak in coughing shortly after (100 [[time|time units]]) after infection, and will recover in less than a game day (1000 time units out of a full day's 1200 time units). These periods will vary according to the disease resistance of the infected dwarf, but the disease is not life-threatening. Unless, of course, [[thought|being sick]] is the straw that breaks the camel's back of your dwarf's [[insanity|sanity]].

===Creature behavior and origin===
{{D for Dwarf}}Surprisingly, the Iron Man does not deplete your fortress [[alcohol|booze]] supplies. On rare occasions humans who exhibit strange moods may sometimes [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfWPDzvWNds turn into one of these]. However, dwarves have been unable to duplicate this process, even given the finest workshops and crafting materials, leading most dwarven scholars to declare it impossible for a human to do so in a cave, with a box of scraps. =Edit= The scholars are now running around naked, on account of losing a bet.

[[File:Fire_imp.png|thumb|left|Admired for its terrifying features.]]

'''Fire imps''' are small demonic creatures straight from the magma sea. They are able to spit small firebolts and can ignite whole landscapes. Trying to drown them is futile because they don't breathe. [[Trap|Take measures]] when you spot some in a near magmapipe.

In an amusing example of the intricacies of Dwarf Fortress, Fire imps can not get [[syndrome|fevers]]. This is not likely to affect gameplay unless you are playing with dwarves [[modding|modded]] to breathe fever-causing gas.

==Defense Strategies==
To avoid unwanted [[fun]] when dealing with Fire Imps and other nasty Magma-dwelling creatures, you can have a narrow channel leading between your source and the point you want to send it to, then put in a Magma-safe [[grate]] or set of [[bars]] ([[fortification]]s are useless when submerged, as creatures can swim through them). Beware, though, that [[magma man|magma men]] and [[fire man|fire men]] can and will [[building destroyer|destroy]] such barriers.

[[File:Dark_gnome.png|thumb|left|Admired for its ability to hold liquor.]]

'''Dark gnomes''' are the evil nocturnal cousins of [[mountain gnome]]s. They have a teal skin, yellow eyes and a wonderful variety of [[beard|beards]]. They are just as intelligent as their [[Mountain_gnome|fairer kin]], and like them, lack a spoken language. There is no formal Dark Gnome [[civilization|society]], but nevertheless, in Fortress Mode they will come for your [[Alcohol|booze]] in groups of 5 to ten and scare the [[carp]] out of any civilians they encounter. If they reach your alcohol they'll guzzle it with such efficient speed that your [[dwarves]] will soon be dying of thirst unless you have steady access to [[plants]] or [[water]].

Despite their apparent malice, Dark Gnomes are not particularly violent and will run in terror when chased. They're able to equip [[weapon]]s and [[armor]] that are appropriately sized for them, but this is rarely seen. Any [[dwarf]] or [[dog]] can easily hurt them, but be wary of [[combat|fighting]] on [[mountain|mountainsides]], where a dwarf may charge the gnome, miss, and [[gravity|fall a very long distance.]]

Lucky gnomes can live for up to 250 years, assuming they stay away from [[Gnomeblight]] and other hazards to their health.

[[File:Mountain_gnome.png|thumb|left|Admired for its ability to hold liquor.]]

'''Mountain gnomes''' are weak humanoid [[creatures]] that appear on [[Surroundings#Good|good]] [[mountain]]ous maps. Their intelligence is on par with [[dwarf|dwarves]] and other sentient creatures, but they lack the ability to communicate verbally, one possible reason they haven't formed a [[civilization|civilized society]].

If you leave [[alcohol|booze]] out in the open, they will steal it, leaving your [[dwarf|dwarves]] [[fun|dying]] of starvation and dehydration, but otherwise they are "harmless", fleeing if confronted (to the point of running off a [[cliff]] if necessary). Given their small [[size]], they pose no physical threat to any dwarf and can be easily killed by anyone who isn't [[unconscious]].

Gnomes can be easily trapped by placing a single [[forbid|forbidden]] [[barrel]] of booze in a small [[stockpile]] and surrounding the barrel with [[cage trap|cage traps]]. Since gnomes often travel in groups, several layers of cages should be used so that the bait stays untouched.

[[Gnomeblight]] is extremely toxic to Mountain Gnomes. Unlike their [[dark_gnome|dark counterparts]], Mountain Gnomes are diurnal creatures.

'''Rutherers''' are very large creatures who reside underground in caverns. The value of their body parts is multiplied by three, making them a great target for your [[butcher]]s. Their size, however, coupled with the fact that they can appear in groups of two to three makes them a real danger to even experienced adventurers. Knocking you to the ground with charges and then severely wounding you in some lasting way is common.

They are tameable, but it requires a [[Dungeon master]] noble. Rutherers can also be tamed by [[Goblin|goblins]] and [[Dwarf|dwarves]] in world-gen, resulting in rutherers accompanying goblins on [[siege]]s as mounts and being used in worldgen battles by both civilizations.

They also *can* give birth to triplets.

They aren't aggressive unless you attack them or they are accompanying [[Goblin|goblins]] during a [[siege]] or similar.

[[File:Vermin-ClownFish.jpg|thumb|left|Admired for its coloration.]]

Clownfish are vermin-sized fish that can be caught by {{L|fisherdwarf|fisherdwarves}} and processed at a {{L|fishery}}. They are found in {{L|biome|tropical}} {{L|ocean}}s and can be caught year round.

While dwarves have an even chance of catching males or females, this is not the case in real life. In real life, the clownfish sex ratio is not even: a colony of these fish living around an anemone is comprised mainly of males, with only the most dominant fish being female. When the clan matriarch dies, the most dominant male changes its gender and becomes the new matriarch.

Oysters are a common source of {{L|food}} for fortresses located near an {{l|ocean|ocean}}. They are also one of the few types of creatures, along with {{l|mussel|mussels}}, {{l|turtle|turtles}} and {{L|cave lobster|cave lobsters}}, that are sources of {{l|shell|shells}}. They can't be {{L|butchering|butchered}}, but are {{L|fish cleaning|cleaned}} at a {{l|fishery|fishery}}, which generates a shell and prepared oyster. Oysters can also be cooked raw, though it is unknown what effect this might have on your dwarves' libidos...
