Lava lamp demons are a species that roam the underworld, otherwise known as Hearth. Comprised of hot lava and a wax-like substance, The insides of a lava lamp demon slosh inside their flexible, yet glass-like skin. While it isn’t particularly a problem in the heat of Hearth, a lamp’s glass skin can fracture if hit with intense force. These lamps sport long ears, tails that come to a triangular point, and horns of varying sizes. Their eyes and mouths are white against their base hue. Typically, lava lamps will have a hair color between black and white, but exceptions occur. The average lamp is 1ft taller than the average human.
Lava lamp demons come in many different colors, with numerous variations. Wax color is dependent on genetics and health.
Ex. A lava lamp who has a yellow parent and a pink parent may have a yellow base color and pinkish-orange wax.
Ex. The darker and less-saturated a lava lamp’s wax is, the sicker the lamp is.
That being said, a lamp can be born with less saturated colors, and it does not necessarily mean they are sick. This is why the lamps must pay close attention to base color and report any fluctuations in saturation and lightness to their local health professional.
A lava lamp’s face is 2D. To eat food, a lamp simply has to open its real mouth as shown above! Lava lamps tend to eat objects that are combustible in order to absorb more energy. Wood and oil-rich foods are fan favorites for lava lamps and are considered healthy. Plastic generally does not sit well with most lamps and can present health problems if consumed in mass, so it’s generally avoided.
A lava lamp’s tail is prehensile, yet many need practice in order to consider it a third hand. It’s basically like learning to write with your foot.
