ECOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT
World role
Cindrel packs rest near naturally warm stone and spread controlled embers that clear dead undergrowth. Grassland communities value distant packs but remove individuals that settle too close to stores and wooden structures.
Rare variants
- Blue-white high-heat embers
- Soot-dark stealth trait
- Long-maned furnace worker form
- Ashen regional coat
Implementation notes
- Keep the fire mane readable without constant bloom
- Use clear pounce commitment frames
- Replicate flame lanes server-authoritatively
- Avoid excessive particle coverage in packs
