Thoqqua

Thoqqua, also called rock worms, were worm-like elementals native to the Elemental Plane of Fire. They were favored by the orc goddess Luthic and the gnome deity Urdlen.

Description
A thoqqua's long body was hot enough to melt rock. Thoqqua had no internal organs, being made purely of the elements of fire and earth.

Behavior
Thoqqua were foul-tempered. They spent most of their time burrowing underground in search of minerals to eat.

Combat
Thoqqua used their bodies to slam their enemies. This was particularly effective because the touch of a thoqqua resulted in fire damage.

Ecology
Thoqqua were natives of the Elemental Plane of Fire or, possibly, the Paraelemental Plane of Magma. However, they also dwelt on the Elemental Plane of Earth and in the Underdark on Toril, where they did particulary well in volcanic regions of the Lowerdark.
