Overview
The Lava Elemental is a massive, untamable creature that consumes Minerals. It is highly aggressive and damages structures on contact. Its body is engulfed in heat, making it resistant to fire-based attacks and ideal for defending against flame-based threats. It does not serve a utility role for survivors due to its inability to be tamed or bred.
