Lore

A damned soul that has become a fire elemental.

Feuermann—known in Germany as the Feuermann—is not a run-of-the-mill fire elemental but the blazing soul of a human being, condemned for his evil deeds in life.

Most often the Feuermann appears as an immense, terrifyingly emaciated human figure. His flesh has been burned so thin that charred bone shows through the fiery shroud that surrounds him. In the Brothers Grimm's notes—especially the legends collected around Erbach—there is mention of a burning man whose ribs can be counted one by one. His eyes glow like red-hot embers, piercing the darkness with an unnatural light. Folklore from the Bohemian Forest adds that his beard is nothing but flowing flame. A peculiar magical item also hangs at his hip: a bone horn. Whenever he raises this horn to his lips, the instrument itself turns red-hot and bellows like a mad bull, serving as a warning that a destructive fire is about to break out.
