A formless mass of ancient fire, bound by heat and malevolence. It longs to unleash itself as a wild fire storm, yet must first patiently burn towards its victims with implaceable inevitability.

Useful Info

Creeping infernos are self-destructing entities that explode into Fire Storms (8d10 damage) when killed. They are found naturally in Gehenna, or summoned by stokers.

Tips & Tricks

They have relatively low willpower for a Hell monster - wands of paralysis should have a decent success chance against them, even with minimal training.
Summons can tank the hit, but make sure you're a good distance away when it happens.

History

Prior to 0.33, creeping infernos had only 1-2 HP and would behave similarly to lurking horrors instead of moving towards the player normally, but were speed 14. They also had 10 willpower and their Fire Storm did 8d8 damage.
Creeping infernos were added in 0.28.

-They move like [[lurking horror]]s. Every turn, if a creeping inferno is in your [[line of sight]], it can only move if <code>distance < 1d(LOS_range + 1) - 1</code>.<ref>{{source ref|0.30.1|mon-act.cc|579}}</ref> So when encountered at the edge of LOS, it is likely to not move, but the closer you get, the more likely it is to charge at you.
