Description: Vaguely humanoid in shape, Magmortar has a yellow and red torso with flame pattern. Its beak, legs, and the four spikes on its back are pink. Its tail, shoulders and head are all made of flames, and its arms are bulky, yellow cannons with three retractable claws each. It has a pair of claws on each red foot and black cuffs around its ankles, neck, and upper arms.
Capable of blasting its opponents with 3,600° F fireballs, Magmortar won't hesitate to incinerate its foes; however, it's much more careful when hunting for food. By taking deep breaths, Magmortar can increase its internal temperature, giving its body a whitish hue. While Magmortar tend to live in mated pairs in volcanic craters, some live in factories where they assist in melting down metal.
