At great cost I managed to catch a fire clown in a cage trap. I noticed that the tiles surrounding the cage showed as "warm rock" during dig designation, so to test a theory I constructed the cage (actually a green glass terrarium) in one of my underground river redirect areas, and opened the floodgates.
The fire clown boils any water within a tile of it to steam.
There's got to be a practical application for this. It kind of makes me wish there was some way to build a steam turbine to power pumps and things, because what could possibly be more badass than a steam engine that's powered by a malevolent entity of living flame?
Sadly my captured fire imps don't seem to have the same effect.
