Paper Mario

Embers are enemies in the Paper Mario series. They first appear in Paper Mario and return in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They are blue flame-like ghosts that are a variant of Lava Bubbles, which they look almost identical to, given they are a small flame with demonic eyes. Embers are often seen resting in dark areas and tend to attack any intruders that come by. Being composed of fire, Embers are naturally immune to jumps however they are unable to withstand most other attacks especially if these attacks are ice-based. Embers behave similarly to Lava Bubbles however they also possess another ability which involves duplicating itself.

Ember Old

An Ember from Paper Mario.

Embers are basically blue Lava Bubbles, given that they have better stats and a different look. They are found in only one place in the game, but there are three repeatable fights along the way. On the pathway up into Star Haven, Star Road, Mario finds these powerful fire beasts. If Mario attacks one with Kooper or his Hammer, then they will split into two Embers so be warned. Due to their fiery nature, Embers are obviously immune to jumps so it is advised to use other types of attacks against them instead.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[]

Ember New

An Ember

Embers return in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, in this game, they (along with the Lava Bubbles) are ghosts of lost sailors from the dreaded Pirate's Grotto. They are also servants of Cortez. When Flavio and his crew are nearing Keelhaul Key, Embers emerge from the darkness of the seas and sink the Ship. In battle, Embers attack by blowing fireballs at Mario and his allies in an attempt to Burn them. When using Cortez's ship, the Black Skull, to escape, these fiery fiends attack the X-Naut battle ship. Since they appear much earlier in the game than their Paper Mario counterparts, they have weaker stats as well.

"This is an Ember. Embers are fiery monsters forged from uncanny blue fire. Max HP: 10, Attack Power: 4, Defense Power: 0 They may look frosty, but they're actually on fire, so fire attacks won't work. They divide themselves when they're attacked. Keep attacking 'em, though. You'll get 'em eventually. They'll probably fight back. Their attacks usually deal out 3 damage points. Water attacks will work well. Let's beat 'em before they get a chance to burn us."
