While it can be found naturally in the most south-western parts of the map, players are most likely to have their first encounter with this creature as a nasty raider, whether they’re helping Syndicate NPC’s in the early game, or leading an invasion of others of either its own kind, or a gang of Leezpunks at higher levels.

It is a swift, highly aggressive, and destructive combatant, and especially devastating in groups. May woe befall those who built their buildings and foundations entirely out of wood when an invasion of these Pals occurs, without bothering to transition even some of their base to more fire-resistant stone-built foundations yet. If such an event happens to someone, with their house, storage, and crafting facilities razed to the ground, and having to spending a long period of time scavenging up the resources left behind (and sending those that didn’t make it back to the Palbox) and re-organising everything again, it is best to let that event be a wake-up call for deciding on increased importance in stone infrastructure and base defence as they recover.

In its own habitat, this Pal is active at any time of the day (due to it being a Dark-type Pal rather than simply being nocturnal), so there is no need to worry about them disappearing when the sun rises in the horizon, if a player is seeking one out. Rather strangely, they can on occasion be found interacting with Leezpunks in the wild, suggesting an odd friendship of sorts. The two sometimes fight together in the wild, and as mentioned earlier, Leezpunk raids on player bases are often led by an Incineram. Much like their raiding behaviour, they are very aggressive, and will viciously go on the attack the moment it spots the player within its field of vision. It has a preference for unleashing area-of-effect attacks from range, before closing in quickly with a melee attack, such as with its signature move “Hellfire Claw”.

If employed as a Base Pal, Incinerams will still continue working through the night, and won’t need beds to accommodate them, as they never sleep. If not tasked with anything, they’ll simply wander about the base. These traits are shared with other nocturnal Pals, despite technically not being one itself.
