Dancing flame: Difference between revisions

The '''dancing flame''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in {{DQ2}}, it is a ghost born of smoldering fury in the form of fire.

Seeing as how they appear to be fire itself, dancing flames are usually shown to be masters of fire attacks, both magic and skill based. Their fiery bodies also give a kick to their physical attacks, and provides them with full inferno immunity in all appearances. A dancing flame that burns for at least 1,000 years without being extinguished is said to evolve into an [[old flame]].

The Flame is a two-star member of the [[Elemental family]] with a weight of 3. It can be found in the [[Cave to Rendarak]]. It naturally learns [[Fire Breath]], [[Frizz||Blaze]] and [[Fuddle Dance|Panic Dance]]. Its in-game description reads "It was given life by flames. It must eat burning things to live."

|weapons = Swords, Hammers, Whips, Staves

|resistances = Healed by Frizz, Vulnerable to Crack, Healed by Fire Breath

|weapons = Swords, Whips, Hammers, Staves

|in-game-description=Monsters born of human souls set ablaze through sheer fury. They have moves as fierce, fiery, and frenzied as you might expect

Dancing flames are among the [[Platiosi]] that are part of the Plob and appear specifically in Flucifer's Necropolis, though they can show up in tank battles elsewhere. They attack using a prolonged wave of fire breath, an attack that works very well at wrecking the insides of a tank. Despite being made mostly of fire, Rocket, the player's character, has no difficulty in carrying them around. A dancing flame defeated by being thrown into water will always yield a Lucky Bag containing either a Chili Pepper or Fire Water, at least until the player has sent home the maximum of sixteen Lucky Bags.

Being Elementals, dancing flames are immune to all types of physical damage and must be slain with either a [[Crack shot]] or an ethereal weapon.

Dancing flame appears as a D-rank monster of the [[Inorganic family]]. It will join the party in Chapter 13, Episode 5: Burning Thoughts and it stars in its own Battle Road. It can be fully awakened by repeating the same level or Chapter 13, Episode 7: Mind the Heat! Part 1. The dancing flame can also participate in the Battle Roads of the [[Wax murderer]], [[Gremlin]], Blossom [[Orochi]], [[Heligator]],  [[Thunderbird]], [[Chocobo]], and [[Old flame]] as a party member.
