* Lava is the most dangerous tile in [[Wurm]]. It has the potential to [[Death|kill]] in seconds if stood on it. Stay away or expect [[damage]]!
* [[Animals]] will avoid walking over lava, but they can be [[Lead (action)|led]] onto a lava tile--but will not receive any damage. This can be used to an advantage if a player is being chased by an aggressive animal.
* [[Lava fiend]]s and [[lava spider]]s spawn on lava tiles.
* Lava dries up over time and changes back into rock, raising its [[slope]] by a tiny amount.
