Calorites are fiery monsters 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 if the heroes simply jump over the flames. If they are hit by this attack, they might get a burn and lose a few turns, unable to dodge or counterattack. The number of times the Calorite rolls is based on the amount of times the logs are tossed into their fire. Calorites are also able to eat Tenderlings and turn them into additional Calorites. They can be attacked by using a hammer and all special attacks except Jump Helmet, Spin Pipe, and Magic Window. If they jump, use Jump Helmet, Spin Pipe, or Magic Window, they will lose one HP and forfeit their turn.
