fire elemental

Living burning creature

A fire elemental is a magical being composed entirely of living flame, drawn from fantasy fiction and role-playing games.

Elementals represent pure embodiments of classical elements—fire, water, earth, air—given form and often hostile intent.

A fire elemental typically appears as a vaguely humanoid column of flames: The wizard summoned a fire elemental to guard the passage.

In gaming contexts, they're usually immune to fire damage but vulnerable to water or cold.
