A flame atronach

"When you're out exploring, keep your ears open for crackling flames—it may save you!"

Flame Atronachs are common yet deadly Daedric creatures of an almost completely malevolent nature. Their graceful motion hides a desire to annihilate all mortals they encounter. They float across the ground, spinning and twirling at leisure, while wreathed in magical fire.

When Molag Bal banished flame atronachs from his realm, one of his denizens took it upon himself to find a replacement. After searching over 37,000 planes and realms, he found a suitable replacement on the Fourth Sinus of Takubar, the apparent inversion of the flame atronach known as the cold-flame atronach.
