The BlobMonster is dangerous because of its amorphous, shifting nature allowing easy movement and smothering the opponent. The RockMonster is dangerous because of its hardy physiology and weight allowing it to crush the opponent. So what if you tried to mix them both? Increase the rock's temperature by a thousand degrees until molten, give it a mind of its own, and you get Living Lava.

A creature made of lava, it has the strength of rock while being amorphous due to its molten state. More importantly, [[CaptainObvious as lava is incredibly hot]], damaging anyone who'd dare try to hide it. Or even get close to its molten body, [[ConvectionSchmonvection assuming convection is in play]]. The Living Lava tends to dwell in the LethalLavaLand and is vulnerable to rapid cooling. Sometimes they'll have more solid and hard body parts to better interact with the rest of the world.

While the MagmaMan is about controlling lava, Living Lava is about beings ''made'' out of the stuff. A sub-trope of LavaAddsAwesome and ElementalEmbodiment. Also a sub-trope of SiliconBasedLife, which usually deals with silicates in a solid state.
