Fire Sprite (3.5e Monster)

Fire Sprite
Nimble little pests, these sprites have bulbous round bellies that glow with an internal flame. They generally look humanoid apart from their oversized bellies and triple set of pincers around their mouth.

Strategies and Tactics
Fire sprites need to balance their fire points in order to make sure of them without exploding. They will typically bite opponents, using their Zip ability to get into the same square without attacks of opportunity. They will hten use drain heat, dealing additional cold damage because the creature is diseased. After this, they may fall back a bit to shoot a fire ray or keep draining heat for generally faster damage output.

If they feel their home is threatened, they may intentionally drain heat until they explode.
