Dwarf fortress uses its own temperature scale in most cases.
So if you see something like [HOMEOTHERM:10067], don't be amazed.

[DF scale] = [FAHRENHEIT] + 9968

Ubersoldat:

'''Spirits of Fire''' are one of the possible creatures that will attack your [[Dwarf|dwarves]] if you discover [[Glowing_pits|glowing pits]] in Fortress Mode.

They are the most dangerous of the the three 'lesser' [[Demon|demons]]. Being the essence of fire, they will burn or boil everything that they come in contact to, and can even shoot fireballs at hapless dwarves. Spirits of fire cannot feel pain or bleed to death, and are immune to [[traps]] like all demons. Their only real weakness is that their limbs sever instead of breaking.

40d:Tentacle demon

2008-04-14T22:22:06Z

Ubersoldat:

A '''tentacle demon''' has corrupt intentions. Interestingly, an unusually high number of creatures like them for their corrupt intentions. They can control [[goblin]] tribes. Like all [[demon]]s, they can avoid [[trap]]s and destroy [[building]]s.

Ubersoldat: /* Defenses against Demons */

{{spoiler}}

[[Image:Mountain_air_pocket.JPG|thumb|right|250px|Here, demons appear as red and green ampersands.]]

A Demon is an evil fast moving creature that will either severely wound or kill your [[dwarf|dwarves]] and [[animal]]s. Their attacks include projectile fireballs and hand to hand combat. Most are living and as such are especially vulnerable to weapons with high critical boost such as [[spear]]s and [[crossbow]] [[bolt]]s.

Demons are immune to [[Trap#Stone-fall_Trap|stone-fall traps]], [[Trap#Weapon_Trap|weapon traps]], [[Trap#Cage_Trap|cage traps]] and will destroy your [[door]]s and [[floodgate]]s. At least some of them are able to fly and survive under [[Water|water]] and [[Magma|magma]].

==Defenses against Demons==

The easiest way to deal with demons, of course, is the "dwarven atom smasher" - crushing demons under a [[bridge|drawbridge]] will completely destroy them (and anything else). However, this method is frequently seen as somewhat "cheap" and certainly by doing this you deny yourself one of the most fun encounters in Dwarf Fortress.{{verify}}

Demons, as large, living enemies, are somewhat susceptible to piercing damage - [[spear]] and [[arrow]]s work well. A well trained, well equipped [[speardwarf]] can mix it up with frog and [[tentacle demon]]s, however will likely not get the chance to close with a [[Spirit_of_fire|Spirit of Fire]] before being immolated by the Spirit's ranged [[fire]] attack. Spirits also lack most vital organs that spears target in any case. Spirits can be reliably brought down by [[marksdwarf|marksdwarves]], but expect losses on both sides of that matchup. You can signifigantly improve your survival rate by placing the marksdwaves behind [[fortification]]s - the incoming fireballs have a chance to not penetrate the fortifications, which is higher the farther away the demon fired from.

Finally, [[siege weapon]]s can be useful against demons. A [[ballista|Ballistae]] bolt will kill a demon, and a ballistae fired down a narrow hallway to channel the demons into your field of fire will kill several. Use [[wall]]s and fortifications to give your siege crew some protection from fireballs, and prepare a backup plan as your crew will panic and run once the demons get too close, which will happen ''quickly'' as the demons are quite fast.

40d:Batman

2008-02-16T23:25:01Z

Ubersoldat:

Half man, half bat. These weak creatures are commonly found around [[chasm]] areas.

They can fly and are sometimes armed with [[weapon]]s.

With enough preparation time, they can defeat any foe.

Ubersoldat:

{{CreatureInfo|name=Black Bear|symbol=B|color=#CCC|bones=8|fat=6|skin=Yes|skulls=1|chunks=8|meat=8|biome= Temprate}}

Smallest of all bears, and also the most common. Usually comes alone roughly once every second year. They are known to raid your [[alcohol]] storage, if the storage is close to the surface. The black bear can be killed by single wardog, but usually it takes two or three and probably only one will survive. Average [[hunter]] can kill it with five to ten arrows.
