In a way, Wildfire Dragons may be the most pitiable of their kind, for they did not seek to become what they are now. When Io perished, many Red and Gold Dragons flew into an insane rage and pursued Erek-Hus in vengeance. Afraid that these powerful, fiery drakes would eventually be the end of him, Erek-Hus forged an allegiance with Imix, who had long yearned for authority over all dragons of flame. Blinded by their hate, the vengeful dragons followed Erek-Hus into a portal to Imix's realm. Trapped there, the Fire Lord turned their own fire against them, burning away their flesh until only serpentine forms of smoke, cinder and flame remained. However, even this could not bend them to his will, and so the outraged Imix flung them back into the mortal world.

Wildfire Dragons represent fire as a purifying force. They are the most territorial of the Catastrophics, and jealously hold their dominions as their own, because in their minds, they alone have the right to burn these lands. Some, commonly accepted as having descended from Red Dragons, simply relish the destruction of life. Others, more goodly and generally believed to be of Gold Dragon descent, view their fire as a sacred element, necessary to the cycle of birth, death and regrowth. This makes Wildfire Dragons impossible to truly ally with. They care only about burning everything around them, and whilst many cults or fiery elementals seek to exploit their power, it's always whilst acknowledging that they will probably turn on them as soon as there's nothing else to burn.

Wildfire Dragons are surrounded by an aura of withering heat intense enough to kill, and certainly enough to make the unwise withdraw. Wielding fiery claws and bites, they can move with the speed of flash fire, allowing them to flow around opponents with almost fluid grace. Targeting them with fire damage is a fool's effort, because it allows them to not only move, but to carry the flames with it and burn whoever they touch. By concentrating their aura, they can explode in a burst of motion, leaping from victim to victim in a whirl of hungry flames. The eldest of their kind can even launch fireballs at choice targets, a crude semblance of a breath weapon.
