Fire elemental race

Race fire elemental

Fire elementals -- living tongues of flame, just sentient enough to know where the fuel is. Hugging them is not advised even when it's very cold.

Fire is their native element -- they bathe in it unharmed. Summons and ordinary weapons pass through the flame with little effect. Cold, though, smothers the fire, and water puts them out for good -- drowning an elemental in a river is easier than cutting it down.

They glow on their own, betray invisible foes with faerie fire, see by infravision and through any concealment. They fly. In battle they strike with area flares, go berserk, and crush with a mass of flame.

Home is Elemental Canyon. They also turn up in Hell and other hot spots.
