'''Magma men''' are dangerous and exceptionally rare inorganic [[construct creature]]s who inhabit the [[magma sea]]. They are composed of an inner liquid [[basalt]] core (which is to say, [[magma]]) and an outer, solid [[obsidian]] layer. As a result, they are much more durable than [[fire imp]]s and especially [[Fire man|fire men]] and their natural attacks are dangerous. They do not breathe [[fire]] or magma in any form, though. Like other inorganic construct creatures, magma men feel no emotion or [[No Exert|exertion]], are [[No Pain|immune to pain]] and [[No Stun|cannot be stunned]]. They are as large as [[human]]s and are immortal, only dying to violence.

'''Magma men''' (''similar to [[fire man|fire men]]'') are dangerous inorganic creatures and are native to magma areas, but can wander outside of them. Their hot temperature has the interesting effect of actually [http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-2120-magmamanforcedevaporation| drying up water] if they are submerged in it as well as melting adjacent unmined ice. Being composed of magma and rock, they feel no pain and cannot bleed to death. Magma men have the [[Building destroyer|Building Destroyer 2]] tag, which means that doors, hatches, bars, and other similar constructions are vulnerable to their rampage. Some dwarves admire them "for their flowing movement."

Their hot [[temperature]] has the interesting effect of actually [http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-2120-magmamanforcedevaporation drying up water] if they are submerged in it, as well as melting adjacent unmined [[ice]]. They will create [[steam]] upon touching water, which will most likely lead to anyone caught in the steam clouds starting to cough. Additionally, they can create bursts of boiling blood if they step in a bloodied area, which displays the message {{DFtext|Magma Man is caught in a burst of boiling blood!|4:1}}. Magma men are Level 2 [[building destroyer]]s, which means that [[door]]s, [[hatch]]es, [[bars]], and other similar constructions are vulnerable to their rampage. When they die, they leave a usable chunk of [[obsidian]] instead of any carcass, although when you consider their rarity, there are much better sources of obsidian around.

Magma men can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s. However, if you use a [[wood]]en cage, it will slowly decay and eventually disappear, letting the magma man free to roam in your fortress, leading to much [[Fun|!FUN!]].
