Body of Fire. The burnling can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide. In addition, any creature that touches the burnling or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 1 fire damage.

Water Weakness. The burnling will instantly die if submerged in more than 1 gallon of water.
Touch. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) fire damage. If the target is a flammable object, it ignites. The object on fire takes 2 (1d4) damage at the start of the burnling’s turn until someone takes an action to douse the fire, or until the burning moves more than 10 feet from the object.
Description
These tiny elementals resemble humanoid flames small enough to fit on a candlewick. They have small clusters of stones around their bodies, which are among the few things a burnling can’t consume. They exist in a wide variety of environments, with their only requirement for survival being fuel.
Igneous Hearts. All burnlings are tethered to this world by their hearts: small, igneous stones that rest on or inside their chests. However, this stone is unable to keep them alive, and they must seek out fuel to keep their fires alive. If a burnling fails to keep its fire alive, it can be rekindled by magic fire.
Fuel to Flame. Burnlings are born inside of volcanic magma, a mass of igneous stone that is thought to be sentient itself. Taking after their titanic parents, these creatures can grow in size depending on the amount of fuel they have access to. Their hunger also grows in proportion, and as a result, both their fuel and greater size don’t last long.
