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. This bleak, hulking elemental burns just as bright as its lesser brethren and displays twice as many fractals as a normal immol. However, strange black spots wash across its surface forming fleeting curses in Ignan. When stirred, these spots congregate and form actually mouths simular to the gaping holes others immol sport. However, the searing tongues that lash out of them are large enough to pull creatures inside, reduced them to cinder, and use their corpses to birth new elementals in their egg-like form.

Dead Star Burst (1/long rest).

When the immol infurnace dies, it explodes in a burst of fire. Each creature within 20 ft. of it must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 20(6D6) 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 infurnace may make a Constitution saving throw equal to 20 minus the number of creatures reduced to 0 hit points this way. If the immol infurnace succeeds it returns to life with 16 hit points.

Fire Eater.

Any time the elemental deals fire damage to a creature, it regains 5 hit points as long as it is not at 0 hit points.

Heat Siphon.

Any time the elemental would take fire damage, it regains half that many hit points instead

Illumination.

The elemental sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light in an additional 10 ft.

Actions

Multiattack.

The immol makes 3 attacks in any combination of flame tongue or spit flame attacks.

Flame Tongue.

Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d10+5) bludgeoning damage and 9 (2d8) fire damage. In addition, the target is grappled (escape DC17). If the target ends its turn grappled by the flame tongue it takes 9 (2d8) fire damage. Alternatively, if the target is an immol it takes no damage, is grappled, and regains 10 (3d6) damage at the end of each if its turn it remains grappled.

Spit Flame.

Ranged Spell Attack: +8 to hit, range 90 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (5d6) Fire damage.

Swallow.

The elemental makes one flame tongue attack against a Medium or smaller creature it is grappling. If the attack hits, that creature takes the flame tongues's damage and is swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the elemental, and it takes 21 (6d6) fire damage at the start of each of the elememtal's turns. If a creature is slain while swallowed, the elemental may use its reaction to spit out its flaming corpse, birthing a graven at a spot it can see within 60ft.

If the elemental takes 30 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the elemental must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the elementnal. If the elemental dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 15 feet of movement, exiting prone.
