🌋 Lava Lurk

The Lava Lurk is a fiery monster found in the Volcano Dungeon on Ginger Island. These creatures hide beneath pools of lava, only surfacing occasionally to launch fireballs at the player. They are dangerous because they remain untouchable while submerged, forcing players to wait for them to appear.

Patience and timing are required to defeat Lava Lurks, as they can only be damaged when they rise out of the lava. Their fireball attacks can deal heavy damage if not dodged.
