Tulikärpänen (also known as Firefly) is a fire-type flying enemy which will spawn naturally in the Coal Pits, or from a glowing and pulsating nest that can appear along the ceiling.

There are two variants, Pikkutulikärpänen (listen Audio.svg) and Suurtulikärpänen (listen Audio.svg) (also known as the Lesser and Greater Firefly respectively) which are similar in appearance to a real firefly, the greater variant being larger in size.


Behaviour

Fireflies will shoot a projectile similar to the Firebomb spell, which expires upon collision or after a short time. Like many enemies, their projectiles can be effectively dodged by moving vertically. Staying off the ground also helps with avoiding the Lava they bleed when damaged. They will also charge at any foes which get too close, dealing melee damage.

The lava they bleed may occasionally fall into Toxic Sludge, causing it to solidify into Toxic Rock and release damaging Toxic Gas.

Like other fire-based enemies, they are vulnerable to Water and similar materials and will take damage from submerging in even small amounts. If they become Effect wet.png Wet, they will die quickly due to taking continuous damage from the status. Other materials include: Acid, Poison, Freezing Liquid, Freezing Vapor, Mud, Swamp, Brine, Snow, and Ice.

Trivia

The English translation for the enemies' names (ending with "Firefly") may be a pun based on the fire and insect-like traits the enemy has, and the enemies' abdomens also glow [though not producing light] in a manner similar to an actual firefly.
