Some corrections, ie. Ammonites can be butchered and do feel pain.

The {{token|DIFFICULTY}} of a demon is used during generation to set its size.
 A demon receives [[sphere]]s, one chosen from the list of evil spheres (such as misery, death, or torture) and one to two additional non-good spheres that don't conflict. Like other procedural creatures, they are tweaked from their creature profile.  It will be granted a few "extra" features, like a tail, a trunk, or a shell, and a flavorful descriptor (such as "it knows and intones the names of all it encounters"). A tweak common to evil creatures has some feature (such as its eyes, nose or skin) be removed. Unless their creature profile already possesses a special attack, demons receive a strong attack tweak such as a poisonous sting, toxic breath, or fire breath.

 Dwarves also have a variety of emotional [[needs]] that arise from their [[personality facet]]s and [[Personality value|values]].

 Dwarven fortresses can be explored in [[Adventurer mode]], both in their world-generated and player-made forms. They can be a good source of dwarf-sized [[armor]], as [[human]] armor is too large for dwarves. As the layout of underground [[Fortress|fortresses]] and [[mountain halls]] are considered to be [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=169696.msg8565801#msg8565801 too confusing] to navigate, it is not possible{{v|51.01}} for adventurers to start from there. Dwarven adventurers must start at other [[site]] types, such as [[hillocks]] or those founded by another [[civilization]].
 Dwarves have the notable ability to see perfectly well in the dark, either at night or [[underground]]. They can also enter [[martial trances]] under the same conditions as they would in Fortress mode. Most human weapons must be wielded two-handed by dwarves, due to their size, except, of course, the weapons that dwarves can also make.

 Water at levels 1/7 to 3/7 freeze to become an ice floor. Water at level 4/7 or greater freezes to become an ice wall. Any ice wall will produce 7/7 water when melted, or can be mined for 1 boulder of ice.
-This may be useful if embarking on a location with limited water and seasonal freezing, as if collecting the spring melt-water.  One could expand a lake to 175% its original size (if 7/7 full) so it levels to 4/7, let it freeze then thaw, then drain the expansion to a deeper cistern. If the water in the original lake is preserved at 7/7, the process may be repeated each year.

-=== Building effects ===
+Creatures, including dwarves and livestock, will take damage, and eventually die, from exposure to temperatures below {{ct|9901}} (see {{token|COLDDAM_POINT|mat}}), and clothes and armor do '''not''' prevent this, though they may slow the process.
 Constructing in or on a tile that freezes has mostly no problems (see below), floors placed on or in ice will stay there through melts and freezes.

-=== Melting ===
+== Melting ==
 Ice can melt when the temperature rises as part of the natural cycle of seasons. Some biomes may be frozen all year round and others may never freeze. Ice can also be melted by proximity to [[magma]]. An ice tile with magma moving above or beneath it, or within 2 tiles on the same z-level, may cause the ice to melt (or will prevent water freezing in the first place); see [[Magma#Properties_of_magma|properties of magma]].

 Freezing [[climate]]s are the coldest, and water on them is typically in permafrost. Choosing to embark in one poses an interesting challenge and offers opportunities for substantial amounts of [[losing|fun]].
-=== Settling ===
+One of the first challenges presented by a freezing climate is the lack of [[water]] in any conveniently drinkable form. Along with trees, water may be the hardest resource to obtain. The ice chunks left behind while digging through ice cannot be melted into drinking water. There are several ways to approach a freezing area. One of them is to penetrate to the cavern levels, which may have water in liquid form. Another is embarking with a [[volcano]] in site, utilizing the natural obsidian surrounding it to create [[magma-safe]] floodgates and mechanisms to effectively melt ice. Although [[ice]] may be melted by [[magma]] or other heat sources, it can be used to create buildings, workshops, and constructions that will never melt. Underground water will not freeze, but a well using it must never have been exposed to the sky; simply building a roof over it will not suffice.

 While channeling ice and magma, supervise your miners to ensure they are not encased in cooling magma or freezing ice.
