Calorites are fiery enemies found inside the Flab Zone of Bowser's body in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. They will use the two logs in their hands to increase the power of their flames, and then the Calorite will begin rolling while shooting flames at Mario and Luigi. This attack can be avoided by jumping over the flames. If Mario or Luigi are hit by this attack, they might get burned and lose a few turns, unable to dodge or counterattack. The number of times the Calorite rolls is based on the amount of times they toss the logs into their fire. Calorites are also able to eat Tenderlings and turn them into additional Calorites. They can be attacked by using a hammer or with any Bros. Attacks except for Jump Helmet, Spin Pipe, and Magic Window. If they jump or use any of the aforementioned Bros. Attacks, they will land on the Calorite's fiery head, causing them to lose one HP and forfeit their turn. In the remake, if Fire Flower is used against them, they will be healed.
