[40d16] Magmaproof kittens
« on: December 13, 2009, 11:32:14 am »

For my own amusement, I decided to throw the excess cats/kittens into the local magma vent.
All was well, until near the end, I found two (now three) cats, submerged in 6/7 magma, with nothing but an obsidian floor beneath them. They absolutely refuse to burn to death.

Right now they're just sitting there, with no wounds to speak of.
I have a theory: is it possible if cats kill fire snakes, that they will inherit some sort of magma-proof quality?  Because this is not the case with EVERY kitten thrown in there. As previously mentioned, only about 3/10 kittens survived.

EDIT:
I closed DF and loaded it back up, and the cats finally decided to die.  Chances are you won't be able to reproduce it from that save file, but it still happened nonetheless.

This has been reported before; I believe it was determined that it happens when one dropped creature lands on another dropped creature.
