The Ember Heart

A molten giant under plates of basalt, carrying a small volcano on its back, asleep in the crater of the Fire Mountain until somebody climbs in. Its fists make the ground ring; later the volcano on its back spits burning rock, and at the last the ground round it erupts. Fire does nothing to it - but water and snow do: soaked or hit with snowballs it stiffens for a while and takes double.

What it says

“WHO... WAKES... THE FIRE? My mountain burns for no one. It will burn you.”
“THE HEART OF THE MOUNTAIN. WHEN I BEAT, IT BURNS. WHEN I STOP, THE WORLD GROWS COLD.”
“THE EMBERS... THE EMBERS ARE ALL THAT IS LEFT...”
“cold... so... cold...”
