Efreet

Known as udyropi (/ˈudyrˈopi/) in Ignan, which translates to "fire-spirit" in Common.

The efreet are majestic and powerful beings that reign supreme in the Elemental Plane of Fire. They masterfully manipulate flames, creating and controlling them with ease. Their skin ranges from magma-red to coal-black and is wreathed in smoke and embers as they take flight. These fire spirits exude an aura of imperiousness, with skin that resembles the heat of molten rock and hair that seems to be made of ash and ember.
