Description
The Molten Ones are hostile creatures who are made out of molten lava which roam around the volcano looking for prey to subdue in their flames they reside within Level 3 (Altrooms).
Constantly on fire, moving around the volcano looking for people to hunt and kill, they are common around the mountainous terrain and in lava pits, they can assimilate out of any molten rock or lava; at any point; they can also melt back into magma and slither around to their targets.

They are also able to combine with other Molten Ones, making them larger in size and deadlier. They are capable of death via any watery substance over them turning into pure ore such as gold or silver.
Behaviours
The Molten ones are attracted and will prioritize any wanderers/humans when hunting. They hunt in trios or packs and will never hunt without another Molten. Moltens do not hunt for survival needs but for sport.
They will avoid any wanderers with water or liquids as they are dangerous and can turn a Molten into stone or retreat to lava pools to protect themselves.
Typically when attacking they try to get into physical combat and melt their prey, but if necessary will engage in ranged combat by throwing molten hot rock at prey.
If the Molten are losing to their prey, they will turn to their lava form and slither away, waiting to ambush them instead of direct combat. Molten prefer to attack in an ambush meaning a quick win so staying away from any lava sources is advised.
Also, if the Molten are losing they will combine with each other and attack their prey; this form gives them more strength to throw bigger amounts of molten rock and can now projectile vomit lava.
Biology
The Molten Ones resemble human figures with lava-textured skin. no facial features or nails. They are not solid objects but have the ability to interchange through solid-to-liquid forms. It does not require to eat or drink, nor does it need oxygen to survive. Their bodies can go up to 1,200° C in temperature.
They are not capable of human speech but can make sounds such as bubbling or groaning; it is theorized they used to be wanderers, which succumbed to the mental pressure and thirst and drank the lava in their psychotic episode.
Discovery
The creatures were first discovered during which multiple wanderers witnessed a Molten One melting and slithering into a big lava pool.
