Born at the death of the first star, the Immol strain of elementals are a strange and hateful sort. They seek to consume as they no longer create, to take life as they no longer give it. Still, there are those mortals who come to worship these entities and call them forth to the material plane.

The Immol manifests as a four-sided fractal shape of flame roughly the size of a human being. Two of the points form flaming pincers, though it can shrink one set to grow another depending on the vector of attack. Off center sits a black space that could be considered a mouth for this is where the Immol speaks and spits flame from. When an Immol dies, it explodes in consuming fire that if extinguishes enough life, restores the malignant elemental. An Immol comprised of a seven-sided fractal, the coalfather also sports a second mouth. This one manifests in the corner where two main fractals meet, though it can be reabsorbed and appear in another corner as needed. This mouth is incapable of speech due to an oversized, meaty tongue always sizzling but never burning. The coalfather stokes the inner flames of other Immol and ensures they come back stronger than ever from their deaths.

Dead Star Burst (1/long rest).

When the immol coalfather dies, it explodes in a burst of fire. Each creature within 15 ft. of it must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 17(5D6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If any creatures are reduced to 0 hit points due to this death burst, the immol coalfather may make a Constitution saving throw equal to 20 minus the number of creatures reduced to 0 hit points this way. If the immol coalfire succeeds it returns to life with 13 hit points.nts.
