Alas, the whole fireball ability is hardcoded and unique to the raws.

 And while the idea of a creature that could freeze things standing too close to it is rather nice, water would be an easy way to get rid of them.

Might need some kind of ice smashing power.  And an obsidian smashing power, come to think of it.

The problem isn't that HFS is too weak.

The problem is that there is a huge difference in difficulty between the different types of HFS.  Frog demons are no threat to a trained military, while a single SoF can kill an entire fort if you have no strong ranged attacks.

I have only encountered one HFS, and it was filled with SoF.

Sweet Armok, it was ugly.

The fort survived, but I lost around 30+ dwarves, 14 of them Champions if I remember correctly.  The ensuing insane dwarves and tantrums cost a few more.

In the end, the SoF's were taken down by Wrestlers and Ax Dwarves.

Blood, vomit, and chunks everywhere.  Same fort later had 2 dragons and a Titan show up and get immediately slaughtered.  My queen punched one of the dragons and lost a foot.

I think it would be "Fun" if frog demons generated water (fairly slowly).  So once discovered, it's a race against time to avoid having your entire fortress flooded.  They could also fire pressurised water at enemies.

are they a kind of magicians now or what?
