The Flaming Skull is a tiny undead creature, floating ominously and silently through the air. It appears as a humanoid head with bits of flesh still hanging from its face and graying teeth clattering slightly as it bobs in the air. The skull is surrounded by flames that never seem to consume it, giving it a menacing appearance.
Despite its small size, The Flaming Skull is a fearsome creature, immune to fire and possessing the ability to fly at a speed of 40 feet per round with perfect maneuverability. Its attacks consist of slamming its fiery form into its enemies, dealing both bludgeoning and fire damage.
The creature is often found in dark and foreboding places such as dungeons or haunted ruins, serving as a sentry or guard against intruders. Its appearance is often the last thing careless wanderers see before meeting their doom.
Although it is an undead creature, The Flaming Skull does not possess any intelligence or personality. It is merely an animated object, following the will of its creator or purpose until it is destroyed. Its presence is often a sign of danger, and adventurers should take caution when encountering such a creature.
