Description[]
There's one species that stands out from all the others, ultra rare Infurnus slugs. Infurnus are ultimate fire-based weapons and master slug strategists. They're the generals to a slinger's slugs. Extremely loyal, faithful and cleverer than your average slug, Infurnus have slug moves most people have never even seen before!
Powers[]
The ultimate fire-based weapons, Infurnus are Phoenix-like slugs that flash burn and create firestorms, but when they've gained enough experience they can megamorph and unleash powerful, molten firestorms that reach melting temperatures.
Appearance[]
An Infurnus slug's appearance stands up to the name. They are dark orange in colour with yellow and tan colour markings. They have a small flame patterned belly which is coloured tan. They also have two antennae at the top of their heads, with yellow tips on them. Infurnus slugs have small two tipped flame on top of their heads, going down which is coloured yellow. In its protoform it looks like a Flaringo, the only difference is the color scheme. When it enters velocimorph, it takes on the characteristics of a phoenix dragon hybrid. When it transforms, it's tail and wings are on fire.

Weaknesses[]
- A Tempesto can easily beat an Infurnus with an Revecto move.
- An Aquabeek can easily defeat an Infurnus with an Aquajet move due to it being a water element.
Trivia[]
- It seems that Infurnuses can control their heat, as Eli Shane rode one without experiencing any pain, despite the Infurnus' wings still burning.
- Infurnus is the first slug species to be seen as a Megamorph.
- In A Distant Shore Gar states that only one person has such a specimen like the Infurnus.
- This, of course, was before Ghoul from Beyond, where Joo-Joo made his first appearance, but this is also due to the residents of The 99 Caverns being unaware of the existence of other caverns, and as such they have never witnessed another Infurnus in Slugterra other than Burpy.
- If an Infurnus sneezes, it sometimes farts fire.
- According to The Goon, there is only one Infurnus for every "set of Caverns" wielded by the protector/champion of the "Caverns". Eli protects the 99 Caverns and Junjie protects the Eastern Caverns.
Errors[]
- An Infurnus can be seen beside the Boon Doc in The Slugout when Billy is trying to use a Flaringo slug. This is most likely an error, as Billy doesn't own an Infurnus.
Cultural References[]
- Phoenixes appear to be a huge inspiration for Infurnus, not only in appearance but also in background; (in classical mythology) Phoenix are unique birds that live for five or six centuries in the Arabian desert, after this time burning itself on a funeral pyre and rising from the ashes with renewed youth to live through another cycle.
- This might explain how the life cycles and rarity of Infurnuses also work.
