Useful Info

Draconian scorchers are powerful fire elementalists who tend to blast you and everything around you with overwhelming Fire Magic.

They are commonly found in the Realm of Zot, and occasionally appear in the Abyss as well. Scorchers typically generate as red draconians, who have a Searing Breath.
