Magma Paraelemental

Spawned within the core of massive volcanoes
located at the edges of where Elemental Planes of
Earth and Fire touch, the magma paraelemental
is a hulking being composed of lava and stone.
Its upper body appears as a stocky, muscular
humanoid with searing red lava glowing from
within the cracks on its body, its eyes, and
mouth. Its lower half is a mass of hot molten
rock, which it uses to crawl over the ground
like a snail, burning every surface it passes.
Hot-Blooded. The magma paraelemental's
body is scorchingly hot that its mere touch
causes flesh and objects to catch fire. Those
foolish enough to strike it with bare hands and
weapons soon discover the folly of their actions, as the
quick contact of their attack is enough to roast their
flesh.
Hot Companions. In the Material Plane, magma
elementals inhabit places of intense heat and often
within the presence of magma, such as volcanoes, lava
beds, and deep within Toril's core. It is not surprising
that they associate with azers, duergar, efreet, fire
giants, magma mephits, salamanders, smoke
mephits, and red dragons, serving as
guards, siege troops, or smelters. They
are also sometimes summoned by
followers of Grumbar, Imix, Kossuth,
Ogrémoch, and Surtur.
