Magmalices are elemental monsters made up from volcanic rock, with only the top of its head and its right arm protruding from the ground. It attacks by breathing out fiery breath of varying intensity. When they reappeared in Dragon Quest IX, they also gained the ability to psyche themselves up, smack enemies around with their giant hands, and toss boulders, as well. The monster's name is a play on the words "magma" and "malice". It is the fire equivalent of the firn fiend.
Swollen lumps of magma that were supplied with sapience via magical forces. Though hot to the touch, they are ice-cold in combat and attack with their abominable breath.
They might look like champion rock chuckers, but it's their slap you want to watch out for. Hard to harm with earth or fire.
One theory suggests that they are the lava limbs of mega moai that went the way of most magma and flowed free.
Magmalices must be defeated during Quest #053: Magmalice Mania in order to receive a Magmalice handprint, which they will only drop while the quest is accepted. The quest can be repeated as many times as possible.
Some believe these magma monsters are simply muddy hands who got caught in a lava-flow, but either way you'd best watch out for their ability to dish out damage with a bombardment of boulders.
Magmalice appears as a C-rank monster of the Inorganic family as part of the True Dragon Quest III event. It can be scouted from the Jipang stage of Search for a Legend at any difficulty and it can participate in Robbin' 'Ood's Battle Road as a party member. The monster went by its old name Lavaman when it was introduced, but it was changed to Magmalice in a June 2023 update.
