Thoqqua

More information about this subject might be available on StarfinderWiki.

Thoqquas are semi-intelligent worm-like creatures native to the Elemental Plane of Fire.¹

Appearance

Thoqquas are thick worm-like creatures protected by red-hot, dense horned plates. Their body generates incredible heat, which constantly and visibly hisses from their joints and allows them to melt most surfaces. Adult thoqquas are five feet long and weigh 200 pounds.¹

Abilities

Thoqquas are hot enough to ignite nearby materials and melt or burn non-metallic weapons that lack resistance to extreme heat.¹

Ecology

Thoqquas sustain themselves on raw stone, metal ores, and heat. While incapable of starving to death, hungry thoqquas consume their own protective plating.¹

According to the elemental scamps² (who seem to understand thoqquas' thought processes), thoqquas are descended from mountain-sized progenitors, servants of the elemental lords, who dug the first volcanoes on young planets, then retired there, and still heat those planets to this day. Thoqquas of the Universe congregate near volcanoes, though any connection to these myths are unproven.¹

Relationships

On the Plane of Fire, thoqquas are fierce enemies of the magmins for reasons not fully understood.³

In the Universe

Thoqquas are known to occasionally cross over to the Universe, especially near areas of intense volcanic activity, such as the Flume Warrens in the Darklands realm of Sekamina.¹⁴
