Burn (Ex): Those grappled by a magma drake must succeed on a DC 22 Reflex save or catch fire. The fire burns for 1d4 rounds (see Catching on Fire). A burning creature can take a move action to put out the flame (but not while grappled).

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a magma drake must hit a creature of its size or smaller with a claw attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.

Skills: Magma drakes have a +2 racial bonus on Climb checks and on Hide checks.

Earth Subtype

This subtype usually is used for elementals and outsiders with a connection to the Elemental Plane of Earth. Earth creatures usually have burrow speeds, and most earth creatures can burrow through solid rock.

Fire Subtype

A creature with the fire subtype has immunity to fire. It has vulnerability to cold, which means it takes half again as much (+50%) damage as normal from cold, regardless of whether a saving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or failure.
