Torchbug

Torchbugs are small insectoid creatures known for their unique ability to harness and control flame around them.

Adult torchbugs are approximately a foot in length, bearing six legs and a peculiar flexible, trunk-like proboscis. This proboscis is their most important tool, using for spewing a sort of biological lighter fluid, setting fire, and inhaling ash, typically in that order. Torchbugs are considered a pest in many areas, capable of living most anywhere with enough food; in cities, they are kept under tight control with "torchbug traps" so as not to start massive fires. In colder environments, torchbugs have been seen burning substances to keep themselves warm, if not only to eat.
