Alright, we've got mermaid breeding, and sea serpent breeding, and now bigfoot!  We're covering all the major myths and big hurdles, like "how do I keep this animal alive without airdrowning?"

Next, magma creatures.  I don't mean creatures that crawl out of magma and onto your cage traps, but rather, creatures that swim in magma similar to carp, and will airdrown/cooldown while out of magma.  This means, of course, that any capture chamber will need to be fireproof, possibly magmaproof, including the cage traps to secure them, since this will be similar to serpent catching but several magnitudes more Fun.  It also means that you cannot mod your dwarves to be immune to heat damage, and you cannot disable temperature, as this is cheating and no Fun.

Second, are there any actual magma-only creatures?  If no, it may be needed to change carp (preferably carp, possibly other or new type of creature) to live solely in magma, and include the [PET] token, although no actual taming should be done.

The gauntlet has been thrown.  Discuss.

BREEDING THREADS EVERYWHERE

I don't think there are any magma-only critters. Maybe magma crabs could be modded to be such.

EDIT: I don't think magma-breathers can even be modded in. It looks like all magma critters swim through [NOBREATHE]. I'll try giving magma crabs [AQUATIC] and report back after some arena testing.

EDIT2: Magma Crab 1 has drowned.

It seems that the only way to have creatures swim in magma is to give them NOBREATHE, which defeats the purpose of AQUATIC.

What about something dealing with temperature?  Can you set them to have a near-magma homeotherm and make them take temperature damage quickly?
