Fire Flies

= Fire Flies =

Danger Level: 2
Fire Flies aren't to be confused with their namesake, the firefly. These insects appear more similar to the common housefly but have the ability to set things on fire when they feel threatened.

Fire Flies aren't considered hostile to any degree and under the right conditions are even able to be killed and used as food for other animals like lizards. However many species aren't equipped for handling these creatures and they have resulted in several forest fires and several species becoming extinct.

Addendum 1-F:
Fire Flies were first discovered in New York in 1776 after the Great Fire of New York, having been the cause of said fire after a pet dog had tried to eat one for buzzing around its head.

Addendum 2-F:
Fire Flies are reported to be born from a fly going into a flame, and have been reported to not reproduce in any way.
