Thanks, I had a back-burner idea to make a sentient version of the mud-blooded creature, and this bug would complicate things considerably.

Too bad, too, because a creature with mud for blood actually muddies tiles when bleeding.  You know, because hauling water to your farm is much less convenient than luring hostile wild animals there.

Actually, I did some more (accidental) tests with solid blood. Creatures with solid blood appear to be able to eat plants and nothing else. I'm not sure if they can drink water, but they can drink booze.

Rather odd.

And they will absolutely not eat meat.

So if you're willing to risk whatever bizarre nuances are bound to happen, you could probably create an entirely vegan civilization by making their blood solid. Dunno how crash-prone that might make things, but I know for certain that if blood is still inside the creatures in question, the save's raws can be harmlessly edited if you change your mind.
They're supposed to be erudite over-civilized jerks, vegan would fit them perfectly :)

Rain will stop a wildfire dead in its tracks (on grass) - even when everything is the temperature of Dragonfire.

I'm not really sure that maiming someone and forcing them to live with a crippling disability for your amusement can really be considered "merciful." Just sayin'.
Dwarven mercy.

Dragonfire is only dragonfire-hot when it's shooting out the mouth of a dragon. If dragon's breath sets grass on fire, the fire on the grass is normal fire.

I used to work on Modest Mod and Plant Fixes.

Always assume I'm not seriously back

Liquid fire is safe if you coat it on your body.  Ive had an arena dwarf roll around in liquid fire with zero adverse effects, and it coats like any fluid.

Drinking it, however, instantly melts you.

A closed door stops water / magma flowing in from above - but if you drop it via pond order the water happily shares the tile with the closed door.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

A wizard has turned you into a wagon. This was inevitable (Y/y)?

Dwarves will generally not gain any conversation experience, and seem to not get married in-fort, but through the power of parties they can still gain 'friends', 'friendly-terms' and I even saw a 'gruduge' formed between 2 of my S7s.

Marriages can happen--the trick is making sure your dorfs socialize with marriageable candidates (and are interested in marriage themselves); left alone, they just talk to whoever's around.

Sentient pets count toward the population cap, and will not have children once it is reached.

"Baby" is a type of strange mood. So is insanity. Babies have the same pathing as melancholy dwarves, and will try to "commit suicide" if not held.

I dont know about that.  Ive have plenty of pre 40.x babbies hanging out at meeting zones after being orphaned.

They seem to act more like unpastured grazers than depressed dwarves :|

I think the whole "melancholy people commit suicide" only applies to creatures that aren't your current race. I've seen all kinds of non-dwarf babies try to crawl off cliffs.

Or like stark raving dwarves.

I'm dubious about this sentient pets pop cap thing, too. Do they stop dwarves from being born?

I don't know. I don't think so. I think they don't count towards the pop cap but the pop cap counts towards them.

Tundra lit on fire by a FB will burn plants but not trees.  Kinda similar to some RL forest fires.
