Magma Slug
Level 1+It leaves a path of new stone behind it, one slow slither at a time. Read the tale
Field notes
Slow, glowing and hot to the touch. It leaves a trail of cooling rock behind it.
Where it lives
Ember Wastes, in Ashland, Caldera. Seen from level 1. Its level depends on where you meet it: at home, how far from the village you are; on the other lands, that land's band, lowest near the harbour side. It is stronger at night. Comes in groups of 1 to 3. Stronger ones are called Murky Magma Slug (level 15+), Deep Magma Slug (level 40+), Elder Magma Slug (level 80+).
How to calm it
Weak to (takes more): Ice +50%
Tough against (takes less): Fire −70%
Its attack: the bite. It is steady (wind-up 0.6 s, then 1.7 s before the next).
Magma Slugs are weak to ice but shrug off fire. Watch for their bite: back away as they crouch, then strike while they recover.
Cleansed, it bursts into clean water and leaves.
What it leaves behind
