- A floating pod with eye-stalks. It can spray poison and it gives off poison gas when punctured
Cave Floaters are small floating balls of syndrome. The good news is said syndrome won't kill your dwarfs, the bad news is it's nearly impossible to avoid contamination as it's an inhaled projectile weapon. Optimally you'll want to arrow it from afar.
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 anyways, as the only thing produced will be a single cave floater skin. Cave Floaters can be kept as pets, but it probably isn't a good idea to do so, as cave floater gas doesn't play favorites.
