They spawn only around [[magma]] sites, which are defined as the original [[biome|biomes]], and don't include any [[channel|channels]] that carry magma away from magma pipes or magma pools. They may start [[fire|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 [[preference|hates]] them encounters one. |

It can melt or burn its way out of nearly any [[animal trap]], with the exceptions of [[nether-cap]] and [[adamantine]]. |

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 far can cause all sorts of [[fun]] with your loose objects. It can destroy masterworks, which cause unhappy thoughts and can lead to [[tantrum spiral]]s. And it can destroy [[cage]]s, releasing any creatures held therein. |
