Tuesday Terror: Sruthán
Check out this pic by clicking here. The artist is Nise Loftsteinn Below is what I think the creature in the picture could be as a D&D monster.
The sruthán are creatures of fire and earth, native to the Para-Elemental Plane of Magma. These genies, caught in the volcanic realm between Elemental Earth and Elemental Fire, live a precarious life with the greedy, malicious dao on one side and the haughty, cruel efreet on the other. The sruthán are deceitful and melancholy. They have little reason to trust other creatures.
