The Arena is a fun place, you can test things or just have some fun carnage.
Spawning creatures
Creatures can be spawned while in the look menu. Press c to create a creature. Select the creature type, skills and equipment, and then press enter. Press Esc (or whatever you bound "leave screen" to) to cancel without creating the creature. You cannot delete creatures.
Spawning liquids
From the look menu, press l to spawn a 7/7 unit of lava, or w to spawn 7/7 water on the currently selected tile. If you place water and then lava in the same tile, they will immediately form a 'Rough-hewn Rock Wall' (i.e., before you unpause, or immedately as you do,) resulting in no spillage. However, placing lava and then water simply fills the tile with water, with the same effect as placing water without magma. You can place fluids in a tile that also has a wall in it; the result is a tile with both a wall and 7/7 units of the fluid you placed (water or lava). Research needs to be done on the effects of this combination.
Inventory and skills
While in the creature placement menu, it is possible to add skills to your creatures such as the fighter skill, it is also possible to add weapons,ammo and armour to your creatures. creatures unable to use the weapons given to them will drop them upon unpausing, but creatures such as dwarfs will happily use the weapon as long as the at least have dabbling in the weapon skill. in this way you can create simulated battles aganist beasts or enemies. It is also possible to 'Team' creatures up by to pressing s and d in the Creation menu which is shown on the top left hand side.
