Behavior & Notes

  • Endless sprinters that ignite anything they touch; leave burning paths.
  • Likely remnants of burned souls—keep aggro until extinguished; water/warding slows them.
  • Use chokepoints and wet terrain to control spread; direct contact inflicts burning stacks.
  • Narrative hook: linked to arson/accident sites (e.g., Hirogawa fire); cleansing rites may calm them.

Open questions / conflicts

  • Do they spawn from specific embers/pyres that can be doused to stop waves?
  • Are they tied to any faction (cult arsonists) or purely anomaly-born?
