This type of being usually has an implication (or at least a possibility) of a temperature difference that's caused by metabolism-based weirdness. This makes some sense, as there are several organisms in [[Real Life]] that have an average body temperature that's higher than the human average.
Characters that can [[Playing
They may be [[Wreathed in Flames]], or have [[Flaming Hair]] as well. Contrast [[Chill of Undeath]].

* Shishio, the season 1 big bad of ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]''. He was shot in the head and lit on fire before being left for dead. The fire left him disfigured, and all of his sweat glands were destroyed. As such, he has incredibly high body temperature, which (apparently) grants him almost superhuman speed and strength. The downside is that he can only fight for a few minutes before the heat buildup kills him.
* The [[Ultimate Lifeform|Pillar Men]] from ''[[

* The Assblasters from ''[[Tremors]] The Series''. As their name indicate, they fart fire to fly in a rocket-like manner.

* The [[Our Elves Are Better|Marat]] in the ''[[Codex Alera]]'' are slightly warmer than humans. This is important in the first book, when one is trying to sneak into a forest guarded by creatures who see in infrared.
* [[Big Bad|Sauron]] himself in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]].'' The reason why his ring was glowing on his hand was because he was inhumanly hot.
* Invoked in ''[[The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries]]'' (books that were the basis for [[True Blood]]); werewolves and other shifters are mentioned several times time as "running hotter" than their human counterparts.
* The "[[Our Vampires Are Different|vampires]]" of ''[[I Am Legend]]'' are humans with a disease that ([[Zombie Apocalypse|among other things]]) sends the body into overdrive. They run a fever of about 103 Fahrenheit as a baseline.
* ''[[Book of Amber]]'' series has some creatures of Chaos like this, at least occasionally. Merlin is an initiate of both the Pattern and the Logrus, while he's in the "negative universe", he sometimes bleeds blood (which can sustain Pattern clones and harm Logrus clones) and sometimes fire (the other way around), without shapeshifting or doing anything at all about it.

* Canines in real life have normal body temperatures that are slightly higher than a human's, which may or may not have anything to do with werewolves usually having high body temperatures too.
** This is mostly true for most small warm-blooded animals. Mostly due to the [[Square-Cube Law]].
