Igneus Feldsher

Lord Igneus is a mutated Bituminis and a major antagonist.

Body
Igneus has the two masculine horns of a male Bituminis, but at the top of his head, larger and messier spike formations are present, similar to female Bituminises. Physically, he is much more taller and stronger compared to females (and females usually outmatch males strength wise), but due to a radiation-induced genetic mutation, he has inherited a few extra characteristics from both genders and additional unique powers.

His chest and abdomen muscles are made of silvery, dense keratin scales, that feels like a rock to the touch. His arms, legs and feet are also made of light maroon, fire-resistant scales, but is less dense; some cracks and wrinkles can be seen when he flexes his muscles and has similar muscles to humans. His fingers consists of five fingers, with black claws. His feet consists of three toes, also with black claws.

Back

Igneus' wings resemble that of bat wings - the wings are attached to the his shoulder blades. The layer around Igneus' wings are also made of skin, and are light maroon in colour. His tail his around 70% of his height (which is 200 cm). His tail begins from the hard abdomen scale. At the end of his tail are four metallic blocks that form a sharp edge. The blocks can be opened, like a flower blooming to expose the tail, to egest and excrete waste products.

Personality
Igneus is willing to betray his teammates or workers and take the highest risk for his own gains. In the story, Igneus is obsessed with having power, and a need to be better than everyone in his standards. He also cannot stand it when someone shares something in common with him, because he believes that he is the most important to deserve to be the one and only ruler of Planet Chromos - Feldsher is the only known Bituminis mutant, triggering another belief that he is the most special and important.

However, he is always the first person to want to offend or inflict pain to innocent people, even though he cannot handle it when someone criticises him. His sadistic nature, has led him to a pleasure in raiding peaceful communities and mass genocides of populations; although he realises he is outmatched compared to the massive Triple-Slashers and Cavern Guards. He never admits that his race may be one of the weakest of the dragons, but that does not mean that he will not have an exaggerated sense of self-importance.

Powers and Abilities
Lord Igneus shares the same abilities as the average Bituminis, but have mutated some extra characteristics and have amplified powers.

The first being that he is able to propel himself into higher velocities, thanks to his tail, and his super fast metabolism, he already has a storage of black smoke and heat energy which he can expel high volumes out of his tail, creating a high lifting force (normal Bituminises rely on the spreading of their wings as they lack this capability).

Alongside smoke, Feldsher's bigger physique allows more storage of tar, and can be used offensively or defensively by forcing it through his fire-resistant tail.

Feldsher can also generate mild earthquakes, that are still strong enough to bring down fifty metre trees and collapse a cave. This is due to the intense metabolism, which produces a strong enough force to shake the ground.

Feldsher is able to spit out tar that can explode on contact with target, as Feldsher is able to generate higher temperatures compared to the rest of his kind.

The tar can also be pumped through its tail like a normal adult Bituminis, but Igneus can do this with more pressure.

Weaknesses
Despite having amplified powers compared to an average Bituminis, Igneus still has some weaknesses. Since Igneus is able to generate heat at a much higher temperature, he also needs more time to cool down, otherwise he will overheat, and the tar inside him would ignite and would explode.

Igneus also has an overbearing arrogance, and is easily angered, so when someone disagrees with him or offends him the slightest(such as calling him "Iggy"), he would choose fighting, no matter how big or powerful the opponent is.

Igneus is still quite small in comparison to other dragon species such as the Triple-Slashers and like an ant from the Cavern Guards' point of view. One stomp could easily be his doom, only if you are fast enough though.

His horns and claws can still be broken, and cannot regenerate once it is broken.

Likewise, he also cannot regenerate his limbs or his tail if it gets severed. Without his tail, he would not be able to expel anymore tar out, create jet propulsions or cause minor quakes; additionally, his tail serves as a balance for his heavy mass and also another hand, once the tail is gone, so will his signature moves.

Fighting Style
Igneus relies primarily on his heavy and raw punches and kicks, as quick as he can. The damage is much more than it is due to the extra padding and scales around his fist and knuckles. Most of his blows are boxing moves.

Name meaning
Igneus comes from the word "igneous", which is a type of rock formed by the cooling of magma or lava. "Feldsher", it is a term for an emergency health care professional. Igneus demonstrates this by wanting to turn the planet in to a hot, lava hell, 'cleansing' it of the other 'impure' species.
