Lava pool, yeah... pass, mate. o-o

Love to see how you get solidified silicon polymers out of your fur and feathers. Stuff like bubblegum and tar will have nothing on solidified rock.

Not to mention how hard it is to slog through lava, sure it's liquid but it still had the density of rock, not water.

Any of the above, without using the cheap "magic" escape clause.

Twi's magitech Nanites make withstanding temps like that a piece of cake. But he would have to shear his fur all off though because he'd never get the rock out of it.

Well considering my wings are made of a light crystal thats semi simple but to remove that from my fur and wings. There are generally two methods to remove the silicone for rework, each with its own set of challenges. Soaking in solvents, such as xylene, has been used to swell and soften the silicone to allow removal by mechanical tools.

The use of silicone digesters or emulsifiers is another method gaining in popularity. By comprise the weak acids or bases that cleave the siloxane bonds, reverting the cured silicone matrix into discrete polyorganosiloxane molecules.

Also it depends on the type of lava that I am walking through, some lava has a high density depending on the minerals in it. For example, lava or magma found in the Hawaiian islands is fast flowing because the temp is much higher and the minerals within that lava are normally a bit different or in lower counts then lava found in intercontinental volcanoes.

But yes you are right its be a pain in the ass to remove it from every opening and everywhere lol

Not to mention toxic and acidic gasses once dissolved in the lava becoming aerosolized, and currents (lava lakes are great examples of subducting currents), where a person (even if the temperature and breathing complications are resolved) could be pulled down along with (much like ocean rip currents) it until such depths are reached where a person is simply crushed to nothing (I seem to remember Asuka's eva unit, which was tricked out for its magma dive, risked that complication!) Since lava is much denser then water (regardless of its viscosity -- maybe Komatiites wouldn't be as bad?), it wouldn't take nearly as much depth to crush someone!

Yes you are right again friend but luckily the Furry world and universe doesn't abide by all the normal laws of ours.

Your pointed are noted and correct, in addition; its nice to see another furry who likes to look at what we do with a scientific mind and realism. I respect that greatly

Still its an odd idea to think about, what would his coat have to have so that lava would slide off like water. I'm sure you can think of a couple things but an average biological body producing something like that would be impossible I believe

I can't think of anything as most chemistry simply degrades to more entropic configurations when subjected to those sort of temperatures.

Another issue that comes to mind is just how dynamic most lava lakes are -- this one looks pretty serene, but lava lakes like Erta Ale are extremely energetic, that's tons of molten rock being constantly spattered into the air. That's an in-motion energy density similar to a large volume high explosives going off constantly. Even non lakes, like the recent flows in Iceland, can be pretty vigorous even when well travelled from the vent.

So dealing with the thermal issues is probably the easiest among a whoooole host of others.
