Lerritans are unstoppable giants with skin of volcanic glass and blood of roiling lava. These malicious arsonists would see the world burned to a cinder. They pay homage to Ymeri, the evil elemental demigod of fire, and they bully other fiery creatures. When the urge to immolate grows too great to ignore, lerritans burn forests, destroy villages, and boil rivers, but they avoid large bodies of water.

Abilities
Attack of Opportunity —
Tenacious Flames (aura, fire, primal) — 100 feet. Creatures in the emanation cannot recover from persistent fire damage.
Throw Rock — A lerritan can break stony scales off its body to throw; these scales reform at the end of each round, so the lerritan is never without a supply of rocks to hurl.
The monster picks up a rock within reach or retrieves a stowed rock and throws it, making a ranged Strike.

Volcanic Eruption (earth, fire, primal) — The volcano on the lerritan's back erupts and sends lava bombs raining down in a 30-foot emanation, dealing 12d12 fire damage.
Each creature in the area must attempt a DC 46 Reflex saving throw. The lava globules quickly cool into heavy stones, transforming the area into greater difficult terrain for non-lerritans.
The lerritan can't use Volcanic Eruption for 1d4 rounds.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature takes half damage and is Encumbered for 1 round.
Failure The creature takes full damage and is Immobilized (Escape).
Critical Failure The creature takes double damage and is encased in a rocky crust with lava on the inside. The creature is Restrained (Escape), can't breathe, takes 3d12 persistent fire damage, and can't recover from this persistent fire damage until freed.
