Holy crap. I love all the new underground trees. And the animal peoples. And I've discovered some things called

I don't know what to make of them. One just climbed out of the cavern and off the edge of the map. Have I unleashed something terrible? I hope so.

Where do they get energy from without a sun, anyway? Magma?

Personally, I liked my Gorlak. And Manera. The Gorlak was basically a tiny, tusked mouth with a body; the Manera was a four-armed head that crawled on the ceiling.

Don't they lay them in the chest, not the stomach? I really don't know but always assumed because of the name 'chest-burster' that's where they came from. If not, I'm quite impressed anything can survive gestating in stomach acid... not that I should be, considering they bleed actual metal-melty acid.

They actually burst from the heart area in the rib cage, and they bleed "Molecular acid"

Hearing this reminded me of The Langoliers. And all 3 inspired me to draw this picture just 5 minutes ago...

Are there any Magma-Creatures? If not, can they be modded in with magma seas as a biome? I would really love to see magma kraken and magma whales fighting.

Yes, I just checked the raws and there is a magma crab with the [BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_LAVA] tag, which when applied to a whale/sea monster should make it appear in the magma sea.

( be sure to give them magma resistance too though)
