'''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. | '''Fire snakes''' are [[fire-safe|fire-proof]] [[vermin]] made entirely out of [[fire]].

− | 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.

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. | 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.
