Overview |
Magmortar are rare in the wild due to their need for constant, intense heat. Evolution from Magmar normally requires the tremendous heat energy packed within Magmarizers, though natural evolutions involving eruptions have also been recorded. Magmortar are exclusively found deep within active volcanic craters capable of producing the immense heat they need; a single pair of mates will call a whole crater its own. To defend themselves, Magmortar can launch fireballs reaching temperatures of 3,600°F (2,000°C) from their cannon-like arms. When they do so, the sheer, blistering heat makes them briefly glow a whitish hue; they may even begin to melt their own arms when attacking (though magma will heal them). As this incinerates the opponent to a crisp, however, they rarely use this when hunting prey. Even their breaths are very hot, audibly sizzling when they exhale. These breaths can sear meat within seconds and have been known to start forest fires in drier areas. Despite their potential dangers, Magmortar are not a very aggressive species, likely due to having few threats in their volcanic homes; they generally will not attack unless provoked. In some older factories, Magmortar are still used to process raw metals.
