Unburned

Unburned is a boss added by Pyromancer and a mascot of Team Prometheus.

## Appearance

Unburned is a pyroent of unparalleled size. He is 6 blocks tall and has a "muscular" body. His bark is heavily damaged with a large wound on his chest. Unlike regular pyroents found in Flaming Grove Unburned does not have any leaves or twigs. His head has four horns that resemble a crown. His face lacks mouth and his eyes have sorrowful expression.

## Gameplay

### Summoning

Unburned can be summon by using Fractal Cucumber on a desert sand theoretically making Unburned available to fight right after entering Nether. However, it is hardly advised to not do so.

### Recommended equipment

While the player of decent skills can kill Unburned using diamond armor and tools it is advised to get a netherite gear. Unburned's attacks deal fire damage aside from regular damage so it is advised to use potions of fire resistance. Axes and maces are better suited for this fight because of limited time in which it is safe to attack Unburned. Shield is heavily recommended.

### Attacks and tactics

Unburned has various attacks available to him that he uses based on biased random attack selection. All of attacks available to Unburned are as follows:

* Leaps - Unburned leaps on player. This attack can be blocked with a shield.
* Blind rage - Unburned rushes towards the player on high speed. This attack can be blocked with a shield causing Unburned to be stunned.
* Stomp - Unburned jumps in the air causing an eruption to occur on landing. This attack cannot be blocked with a shield but can be avoided by a timed jump.
* Soul Summoning - Unburned summons scorching souls to hunt the player. Souls will slowly fly towards the player exploding after some time. While it is possible to block a single explosion with a shield each soul has slightly offset explosion timer so it makes little sense to do so.
* Enpowered stomp - a variation of a stomp attack available to Unburned once he is in second phase. Unburned jumps in the air summoning pyronados and causing an eruption to occur on landing. It is highly advised to run from this attack.

It is recommended to keep distance when fighting Unburned and stun him when he does "Blind rage" attack for an attack window.

## Story

*NOTE: following lore is completely made-up and has little reflection on gameplay*

Long ago when the piglins were yet pigmen Flaming Grove was drowning Nether in its orange heat. Beings of pyrowood, pyroents, were blessed by ever-burning flames, incinerating all that intrudes into their dear home. Nonetheless, pigmen craved their strength, and so legions upon legions of warriors in netherite marched into the Grove, their axes ferociously ripping and tearing pyroents for their flesh, from which they crafted robes and books conducting the flame upon their foes. Thus, first pyromancers came to be.

Despite pyroents doing all that they could do to save the Grove pigmen advanced, and soon piles of severed remains of pyroents filled the landscape. And from those corpses, from their very flesh and souls the single being of immense power was born, named "Unburned" by pigmen for he emerged in a wave of flames that engulfed pyroent's soulless bodies.

Born protector of Flaming Grove, Unburned battled foul pigmen: with his mighty strikes he crushed armor, with blazing soul of his he casted pyromancies of yet unseen power, forming raging fiery vortexes. Legions were forced to retreat as their armor burned for not even netherite could withstand such heat. And as Unburned chased them, his hellfire aura was melting pigmen's abandoned weapons and molten netherite sticked to his body. Soon, Unburned's body was caged in heavy netherite that contained some of his heat - a minor inconvenience that allowed pigmen to strike back. It wasn't an easy battle for neither of opposing sides but in the end one skilled pigman pierced Unburned's bark with his axe, leaving the first wound on his body. Though Unburned quickly regenerated, horde of pigmen managed to imprison him. It took the strongest of all of the Nether's alcohol to force Unburned into a deep coma. After that he was taken by humans as a war trophy and burried in the sands of Overworld, through which he spread pyrowood that was now free of Nether's enclosed spaces and lack of nutrients, growing into mighty sky-high trees.
