Creatures brought to 0 or fewer hit points (or a 0 Constitution) by wightfire are reduced to a pile of blackened ash. When a creature takes Constitution drain from wightfire, the lavawight gains 5 temporary hit points for each point of Constitution drained. These temporary hit points last for up to one hour. Constitution drain from wightfire cannot be restored magically unless the caster succeeds on a DC 35 caster level check. ### Wightflame Aura (Su) Lavawights emit a 10-foot aura of wightfire. Undead in the area gain channel resistance +6, while creatures in the area (including undead) take 4d6 fire damage. #### ecology **Organization** Solitary or Pair **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** 33–42 HD (Medium); 43–55 HD (Huge) Lavawights are horrors of death wrapped in molten magma. Lavawights appear as humanoid skeletons sheathed in a thick skin of molten rock. The magma serves a lavawight as searing “flesh” and does not hamper its movement in any way. Huge shards of razor-sharp, glowing obsidian depend from each finger, serving as claws. Only the skull of a lavawight is free of magma; there, a corona of white flame burns like a crown. Lavawights are created from the remains of victims slain by shapes of fire. ### Combat Lavawights like to use their claws and skull slam on foes, attempting to engulf them in wightfire, using their spell-like abilities or blinding speed and rapid blitz to corral those that attempt to retreat or keep their distance. ## Wightfire A lavawight generates a tenacious form of fire damage called wightfire. This greyish-white energy looks similar to fire, but is especially destructive to living flesh. Fire resistance and immunity do not apply to this damage unless it is supplemented with resistance or immunity to negative energy, such as that provided by _death ward_. Creatures immune to one form of energy and resistant to another (such as an undead creature with fire resistance) gains the lesser of the two protections against wightfire.
