Odd creatures that expel a flammable liquid as a weapon.
Information
This creature expels a volatile phosphorus compound from its snout that combusts upon contact with the air. This fire-breathing ability is dependent upon the air-to-fuel ratio at its mouth, catalyst reaction within the expelled compound, and purification of the compound. Thus it is highly unlikely such a complex process could cause the spontaneous explosion of a fallen blowhog. (This process is also prehaps to avoid risk of spontaneous combustion in the belly of a live specimen.) However, one should still treat a Fiery Blowhog with great care, even after its functions have ceased.
Trivia
- Louie's Cooking Notes: Roast this flavorable meat for several hours, letting it stew in its own succulent juices. Don't worry about overcooking this beast... it's scorch-proof!
