In fact, many of history’s most creative minds―from Michelangelo to Shakespeare to Steve Jobs―succeeded not because they succumbed to the myth of the starving artist but precisely because they didn’t.
The truth is we do not have to choose between a creative life and a prosperous one. We become lawyers and doctors and bankers instead of poets and filmmakers and painters. So, we end up chasing more stable careers. We’ve heard it a thousand times: There’s no money in art. The Lavae is a Mob exclusive to Don't Starve Together.Bestselling author and creativity expert Jeff Goins dismantles the myth that being creative is a hindrance to success by revealing how an artistic temperament is in fact a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Anything that comes into direct contact with or is next to a Lavae will burst into flames, including the player. Killing the Lavae will leave Ashes from its burnt drop, making it easier to get the Dragonfly back to sleep. The Lavae dies when it is frozen, dropping 1-5 Rocks upon death. Freezing is the easiest way to kill Lavae due to their high health, attack damage, and the fact that many can be spawned in a relatively short time. It takes three hits with the Ice Staff to be frozen. The Lavae will also die 30 seconds after being spawned by the Dragonfly.
They release a dragonfly along with some tasty fruit fly prey to see what happens next. The high-speed cameras catch what the human eye can't. She points to one of the high-speed images: "This one is missing about half of its left front wing and yet, it still does an amazing job catching the fruit fly in midair." "They'll go up in midair, catch the prey with their feet, turn upside down and glide back to the stick, and the whole capture will take maybe a second, or a second and a half," says Combes. "That particular maneuver takes only a half second to happen," adds Iwasaki. "They're amazing fliers," explains Combes.
