Description
Ash whirlers look like small whirlwinds or swirling piles of volcanic ash and can be found in lava floes of Mt. Hotenow. Born out of the remains of protective spells mixed with the volcanic ash, they have remained hot for years after the eruption. When a creature enters their range, they whirl back into life, striking at whatever has entered their range with a swirl of hot, blinding ash.
