[Quantum Toast]

The most relevant Toady quote I could find on subject was the devlog from Feb 6, 2009.

Today was material breath weapons. For now, there can be forward puffs of gas/vapor/dust of any material, as well as clouds surrounding and liquid/solid glob projectiles. This can be extended to things like cones and so on later. I tested out these and the poison effects by making the berserk test dwarf breathe dwarven blood vapor that was linked to an inhaled poison effect that caused immediate pain throughout the body. He wasn't immune to it himself and ended up passing out before I did.

So if somebody hypothetically modded in a wood-breathing megabeast in an attempt to pin elves to walls with stakes, it'd actually just breathe sawdust?

More like it would "breathe" large hunks of wood surrounded by sawdust. More of a wooden cannon ball then stake

"Mysterious White Substance breath"

Those anatomically correct mods are going to be taken to a whole new level with this release...

Oh god.  This could be bad awesome!
