* ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'''s handling of lava seems to have gotten ''less'' realistic as time has passed. In the old 2D versions, lava flowed significantly more slowly than water and touching it was typically instantly fatal, though special workshops could be built hanging over magma without harming the workers (unless dangerous creatures crawled out of the magma). In 3D versions up to 0.28.181.40d, it flowed at the exact same rate as water (but didn't follow the rules of pressure ''unless'' you used pumps) but was still very deadly. In the latest versions (0.31.xx), though, the introduction of tissue layers (and some apparent issues involving temperature transfer between them) means that being immersed in magma causes [[Body Horror|fat to melt off]] and results in bleeding to death (unless the creature is big enough and thus has enough blood, at which point the bleeding stops and the creature tends to ''drown'' before dying in the heat).

* On ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'', lava is portrayed as being basically red water. Sometimes the characters even swim in it.

* Inverted in ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo". As part of the Japanese game show they're on, they have to walk across a bridge hanging over a volcano. At the end, the lava's revealed to be orange juice with wasabi to make it sting.

* Played with in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' during the episode "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E21 Dragon Quest|Dragon Quest]]". While diving into a [[Lava Pit]], several dragons play it straight, but Spike's bellyflop [[Subverted Trope|has a solid impact before he sinks down]].
