The Hell niño is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Hell niños are cloud monsters made of super-heated reddish-orange gas that float in midair typically found near volcanoes or other hot places. At the center of the clouds is a cartoonish face that can breathe out fire breath. They are also capable of casting fire magic on their opponents. According to their monster description in various games, they will split in two once they grow to a certain size, with both monsters sharing the same soul.

"Hell niño" is a play on the climate pattern El Niño. Like with Cumaulus and Freezing fog, the monster's Japanese name, Heat Gizmo (ヒートギズモ,, Hīto gizumo^?) is derived from the science-fiction story Gaseous Lifeform Gizmo (ガス状生物ギズモ,, Gasu-jō Seibutsu Gizumo^?), which is known in English as War with the Gizmos. It was written by American writer Murray Leinster and published in Japan in 1969.
