Design
The Fire Monster is orange and has yellow eyes. The Fire Monster has a giant ink sack that has blowpipes on top of it. The Fire Monster also has blowpipes underneath its insect tail. The Fire Monster has a squid-like body with insectoid features such as, six spider-like legs, four mandibles in front of its face, and a pincer at the end of its ink sack and at the end of its tail.

History
Godzilla: The Series
Ring of Fire
A strange creature with squid-like body and six spider-like legs, the Fire Monster was able to surround itself with a "second body" made of flame, and fed on fire. H.E.A.T. encountered this creature while exploring a damaged oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, when it was feeding on the fuel from the rig. However, as Godzilla attempted to destroy it with his heat ray, it simply fed on it and grew larger, eventually growing to twice Godzilla's size. H.E.A.T. managed to cut off the creature's fuel supply, and it shrank back to the size of a bus.
However, Dr. Craven and Randy saw the potential in discovering the creature's process of regenerating energy, and smuggled the creature back to the HQ. But the creature revived, and nearly burned down all of Staten Island. Finally, it was caught and trapped in a vacuum bubble and sent to the bottom of the ocean. But at the last moment a shark damaged the container and apparently released the Fire Monster.
Abilities
Fire
The Fire Monster can shoot jets of fire out of the blowpipes connected to its ink sack. The Fire Monster can also use this ability to surround itself with a "second body" of fire. While surrounded in a second body of fire, the Fire Monster can shoot large fireballs.
Absorption
The Fire Monster is able to feed on any fire to make itself stronger, as seen when Godzilla blasted the creature with his atomic breath, it only made the creatures fire bigger. After feeding on oil through its legs, The Fire Monster can completely regenerate its energy.
Methane
Due to its biology, the Fire Monster bleeds methane, which could be dangerous if it is near any open fire.
Weaknesses
After being lured away from the oil rig with the promise of richer oil, The Fire Monster had nothing to feed on and proceeded to burn through its own reserves. As the Fire Monster tried to feed on the oil from the oil rig again, Godzilla created a huge wave with his tail. The wave then knocked out the Fire Monster. The Fire Monster was knocked out again after igniting the nitroglycerin N.I.G.E.L. was carrying.
Roar
The Fire Monster's roars are a combination of El Gusano Gigante and the Giant Mutant Queen Bee's roars.
