Lava Beast

The Lava Beast is an enemy in . This creature has a miniboss version, the Magma Beast.
== General ==
Lava beasts are elementals which inhabit deep volcanic regions where lava is present. Unlike most foes, lava beasts are not necessarily imprisoned or massing in these regions for some nefarious purpose; they are more likely a "naturally" occurring phenomenon in the volcanic cave-complex environment.
Lava beasts are alike in appearance and habits to their weaker kin upstairs, the Rock Beast. Their bodies are composed of amorphous glowing rock and mineral deposits.
== Combat ==
Lava beasts are moderate-difficulty encounters in volcanic settings— individually they are very tough creatures, but not nearly as much of a threat as swarmed-up packs of lesser foes. Fighting Lava Beasts is great for leveling up, and they are efficient in terms of their Exp:Life ratio, meaning that a hit struck against one is worth a great deal of experience.
They attack by using their hands to smash the ground below them, dealing high area-of-effect melee damage. By default the creature throws a spell, lava_beast_blast, which projects a cone of rock debris over a long, wide range.
