<p>SirTapTap: I just SCIENCED this after conflicting/bad information. Yes, cats + pasture + fire snake infestation = dozens of Fire Snake Remains.</p> <hr /> <div>{{Quality|Exceptional|00:22, 10 June 2010 (UTC)}}<br /> {{verminlookup/0|wiki=no}}<br /> {{av}}<br /> {{creaturedesc}}<br /> <br /> '''Fire snakes''' are [[fire-safe|fire-proof]] [[vermin]] made entirely out of [[fire]]. They spawn only around [[magma]] sites, which are defined as the original [[biome]]s, and don't include any [[channel]]s that carry magma away from magma pipes or magma pools. They may start fires, so locating [[fuel]] or [[graphite]] [[stockpile|stockpiles]] near magma (or passages leading to magma) is risky. They will also inspire an unhappy [[thought]] if a [[dwarf]] that [[Hateable|hates]] them encounters one.<br /> <br /> With a body temperature of {{ct|14000}}, a fire snake is hotter than magma and hotter than the melting point of nearly all [[magma-safe]] materials. It can melt or burn its way out of nearly any [[animal trap]] (even [[nether-cap]], though the trap remains unharmed), with the exception of [[adamantine]]. Fortunately, like most other vermin, a [[cat]] will handily kill them, especially if pastured in the area of the infestation.<br /> <br /> Although fire snakes spawn near magma, a dwarf on trapping duty can unwittingly transport a fire snake to an animal stockpile elsewhere in your fortress. Once set down by the [[trapper]], a fire snake's high temperature can destroy the animal trap that holds it. Once free, a fire snake can cause all sorts of [[fun]] with your loose objects, including the destruction of [[Item quality|masterworks]], leading to unhappy thoughts in their creators, and [[cage]]s, releasing any creatures held therein.<br /> <br /> As vermin, fire snakes don't &quot;spit&quot; any sort of fire - the only thing they do is destroy wooden items that they 'step' on.<br /> <br /> [[Liquid fire]] is a valuable [[extracts|extract]] derived from captured fire snakes.<br /> <br /> Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] fire snakes for their ''mystery''.<br /> {{Translation| dwarven = ziril therleth | elvish = inira imaza | goblin = zedan slorust | human = usmok rosha}}<br /> [[File:fire_snake.png|thumb|260px|center|Who needs venom?&lt;br /&gt;''Art by CaptainPuffin'']]<br /> <br /> {{gamedata}}<br /> {{Vermin}}<br /> {{category|Fire immune}}</div>
