Lava Monster (Power Miners)

The Lava Monsters are the antagonists of the 2010 Power Miners line.
== Description ==
Lava Monsters' appearance is similar to that of Rock Monsters, with a different color: their rocky exteriors are black, rather than the Rock Monsters' dark stone grey.
== Background ==
Lava Monsters can freely swim in molten lava, and they hate water due to their composition. They have to be fought with water instead of dynamite and other tools, and reside in the molten lava chambers of the Earth, which are deeper than the caves in which the Rock Monsters dwell. The Lava Monsters are ruled by their leader, Eruptorr, who is similar in appearance to the large, throwing Rock Monsters of 2009.
