The flameback replaced its ancestor, the tileback. It has grown larger and is more heavily armored from its ancestor. This is to protect it from its ability to produce fire. While not fireproof they are very fire resistant. On their shell they have many small holes which produce a flammable oil which burns like an oil lamp. To ignite the fire it also produces 2 chemicals which when combined cause fire and thus allowing the fire to spread to the longer lasting oil.
They mainly use this to stay warm and active since they are cold-blooded. This also has an added benefit of scaring away predators. Sadly they do tend to cause more wildfires than normal. And can even accidentally catch their limbs on fire. If they do they can roll around in the snow. In order to keep from blowing up their oil reserves the oil is produced before ignition and must burn through all the fuel before re-igniting.
They now produce soft shelled eggs in the wet sand of Krakow Polar Beach. Once they hatch they will join the herd. They are not able to produce the flammable oil until they are adults. However they can produce the 2 chemicals and use it to give predators a short fireball to the mouth if they try to bite them.
