Heat Wave
A creature that starts its turn within 20 feet of the Slagger takes 2 (1d4) fire damage. If the creature is wearing metal armor or wielding metal weapons, the damage is doubled.

Flammable objects ignite if they come within 15 feet of the Slagger.
Actions
Multiattack
The Slagger uses its Cough. It then makes one Slam attack.
Slam
Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 25 (6d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage.
Spew Magma (Recharge 5-6)
Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, range 30/90 ft., three targets. Hit: 18 (2d12 + 5) fire damage. Regardless of whether the attacks hit or miss, the area within 5 feet of each target is covered in lava. The lava is considered difficult terrain, and a creature that starts its turn in the lava takes 6 (1d12) fire damage. The lava cools and hardens after 1 minute, at which point it becomes harmless and is no longer difficult terrain.

Cough
The Slagger coughs a sulfurous cloud in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in the area must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw, taking 13 (2d12) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

description
Slaggers are thought to be ancient elemental beings born from the merging of magma and earth spirits deep in the mines. Many miners believe they are the jealous guardians of Obojima's riches, which is why miners must tread carefully in their domain. While not inherently malevolent, their moody and territorial nature makes them unpredictable. Miners often leave offerings of coal, hoping to avoid the destructive wrath of the slagger. There's more than one story of an entire mine being abandoned due to the stubbornness of one particularly irritable and enormous slagger.
