Well, this doesn't work.
How about a little discussion?
I have been wondering a thing about Avali anatomy for a bit, if Avali internal body temp is -20 degrees, and we pour water that's 1 degree on the Avali's bare skin, I don't see the difference being large enough to give burns. Like that liquid is just 20 degrees or do warmer.
So I'm sure I'm missing something here, but from how it currently looks, I'm not sure if Avali would get burns if they were in contact with cold/lukewarm water.
Well, let's consider that a human's body temp is 98.6 F and that the boiling point of water is a little over 200 F. However, water temperatures exceeding 120 F are considered hazardous in that they start to cause scalding burns - this is at just over 20 degrees of a temperature difference.
The Avali, meanwhile, have body temperatures below the boiling point of ammonia, which is -27.4 degrees Fahrenheit. While their blood would only start to boil at around -4 F, you still have to take into account that scalding damage would occur far sooner than -27.4 F once their feathers can no longer insulate them against the heat.
Aaaaaaa Fahrenheit. ; A;
Well, to put it shortly, this would happen.
