A thoqqua's body is hot enough to melt stone. Anyone striking a thoqqua with a natural weapon or unarmed strike takes 1s6 fire damage. A creature that grapples a thoqqua or is grappled by one takes three times this fire damage each round the grapple persists. A creature that strikes a thoqqua with a manufactured weapon can attempt a Breath save to pull the weapon away from the creature's molten body quickly enough to avoid having the weapon take 1d6 points of fire damage - damage caused to a weapon in this manner is not halved as is normal for damage caused to items, and ignores any AC of 16 or less by the item. As a result, most metal weapons can generally safely strike a thoqqua without taking much damage, but wooden weapons have a significant chance of burning away if used against one of these creatures.
