Pyromantles are a unique monster found in magma, decayed and volcanic biomes, as well as in underground layers 3d and 5d, and in fire Ancient Vaults.
They are intangible and can phase through blocks. When provoked, a Pyromantle sprays fiery gas clouds around it, each one dealing 2 base damage and inflicting the burning effect if they come into contact with the player.
This monster has a weakness (+50% damage taken) to Ice damage and a resistance (-50% damage taken) to Fire damage. Additionally, it cannot be inflicted with Burning.
Rare Form
A rare elemental variant of this monster can be found on bounty missions, and has a very small chance to appear in the wild. It has an identical drop pool, base stats, and spawn area, but applies the poisoned status effect when touched.
This form can also be captured, and when caught will complete an entry in the Rare Pets collection.

Trivia
- The name Pyromantle is likely a portmanteau of "pyro", which is Greek for fire, and “mantle”, which is the molten region between a planet’s crust and core. It may also play on the word "pyromaniac", which is an individual who impulsively starts fires.
- Although said to be good at punching, neither variant appears to attack that way.
