A giant hand severed at the wrist, a floormaster walks on its fingers toward its target, then glows green and charges. If given the opportunity, it will latch onto its opponent and squeeze it to death.

When half a floormaster’s health is gone, it splits into three small hands, each with 1/3 of the creature’s remaining health and +1 to AC. After three rounds, these hands will each grow into a full-fledged floormaster (1 full action) with full health.

Flare Dancers appear as women on fire. When they move, they leave a trail of fire behind them for 10 feet that lasts for 1 round. If a player touches this fire, it causes 1d3 fire damage. They receive double damage from water or cold attacks, but can heal 1d6 hp per round if touching a flame at least the size of a torch. (This is a full action.)

Flare Dancers’ fire armor is tough to penetrate. The best tactic for killing one is to douse it with water or cast a water or ice spell on it. Normal water will extinguish the armor for 2 rounds; water or ice spells will extinguish the armor for 4 rounds. With its armor put out, the Flare Dancer is vulnerable to any normal weapon.
