Sadly, today’s Wild Wonders! starts out on a somber note as we have recently been made aware that the outpost of Calderan in the Burning Sands region has been destroyed by an apparent DrrGnn attack. With desert village problems in the form of this fiery force on the rise, our very own resident Xenozoologist Valentine Ghostseer dug into her archives to reveal some information on a little known trouble maker commonly found in areas after such disasters, Cinder Sprites.
“Imagine being driven from your home by a flaming vision from your nightmares made manifest as it lays waste to your town and all you know. Clambering through the darkness on rocky slopes or even cold, desert sands, you assume relative safety when the ground behind your feet catches fire and miraculously attempts to intercept you at all costs. No, you are not dead and paying for some misdeeds in a terrible underworld, you are simply an unlucky soul with the warmth that the Cinder Sprites are after.
Almost found exclusively after DrrGnn assaults, these little sprites are chaotic in their hunt for suitable warmth, making even the human circulatory system a target. Cinder Sprites can hardly be considered animals either for the fact that they are made up of living flames with no tangible body besides their combustion, yet that is exactly what makes them as dangerous as the source they come from. When a DrrGnn scrapes against a house or mountainside, small scales break free and soon come to life in the form of Cinder Sprites, hungry and desperate to feel heat akin to what it last remembered. This all-consuming, heat-seeking desire puts anything warm-blooded or blocking the way in grave danger as they dutifully burn their path across the countryside like salmonanders swimming upstream to mate.
Volcanic rims seem to be Cinder Sprites ultimate destination and the only place where they can be seen socializing amongst others of their kind, with language being transmitted through crackling and specific flame patterns. They have no real minds to speak of meaning their actions have no malicious intentions; they are simply performing the task written into their very existence. You cannot blame a crawling creep vine for crawling and similarly you can’t blame a Cinder Sprite for burning for it knows nothing else. If caught and kept in a lantern, they can be used as an ever burning light however for most, it’s wiser to keep a bucket of water close and hope for best if unlucky enough to find yourself in a situation with the possible danger of Cinder Sprites present.”

Next time, Valentine braves the windy mountaintops to tell us the story of the size-defying Blow Worm. Be safe till then readers.
