− | '''Cave floaters''' are small floating [[creature]]s full of [[syndrome | + | '''Cave floaters''' are small floating [[creature]]s full of gas that causes a [[syndrome]], rarely found in the deepest [[cavern]]s in groups of 1 to 3 individuals. The good news is said syndrome won't kill your [[Dwarf|dwarves]], though it may knock them unconscious. The bad news is it's nearly impossible to avoid contamination since it's an inhaled projectile weapon. It isn't typically necessary to fight these creatures, but if you must you'll want to shoot them from afar. |
− | Cave floaters cannot attack normally | + | Cave floaters cannot attack normally except for their default [[push]] attack. Instead, they launch a stream of steaming cave floater gas juice at attackers. This juice, despite being described as hot, doesn't seem to cause burns or indeed do much of anything. 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 anyway, 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}}). |
