Lava lampling: Difference between revisions

Lava lamplings are dark red animated [[Material family|oil lanterns]] with bright green flames in their enclosures. They have a singular yellow eye with solid black sclerae, small smiling green mouths, and a pair of horns like a devil's on top of their heads. When casting spells or performing attacks, the tendril at the top of their heads transforms into a hand. According to the picture book ‘Somewhere Under the Rainbow’ found in [[Gondolia]], a lava lampling came to be when he grew jealous of his lampling brothers and consumed the orange and violet lights, growing horns and being condemned to wander hell forever.<ref>‘'''Somewhere Under the Rainbow'''’: ‘But the red light was jealous of his beautiful brothers, so he gobbled up the orange and violet lights whole! As punishment for this terrible sin, he was turned into the lava lampling. Horns grew from his head, and he was banished to hell, where he dwells to this day.’</ref> Because of this, they fight their siblings more often than their masters' enemies, according to its ''Dragon Quest X'' bestiary entry. These lamplings use their mighty flames to cast fire magic or perform a dance that sets opponents ablaze in a pillar of flames. They have a partnership with [[slick slime]]s, calling upon their aid in the heat of battle to perform a powerful fire technique to incinerate their enemies.

Lava lamplings began appearing starting in Version 5.4 of the game. They are quite powerful, able to cast both [[Kafrizz]] and [[Kasizz]] on characters, support their fellow monsters with [[Oomph]], scatter fiery powder, and use [[Pyre o' Fire]], as well.
