Pyrodrake

Imagine an insect called the Pyrodrake, a small, iridescent creature with wings shimmering like molten metal. The Pyrodrake feeds exclusively on fire, seeking out flames in nature, from campfires to volcanic vents. It uses specialized mandibles to siphon energy from the heat, converting it into sustenance. Its antennae can detect the faintest flickers of flame, guiding it towards its next meal. When it consumes fire, its body glows faintly, storing the energy within, and when it needs to defend itself, it can release bursts of fiery sparks. This insect thrives in environments where fire is common, like volcanic landscapes or dry, arid regions prone to wildfires.

It’s a creature of myth, said to be responsible for keeping forest fires under control by consuming flames before they can spread.
