A Fire Horse in Dungeons & Dragons typically refers to a magical or elemental creature with a strong connection to fire. While not a standard creature in most editions, variations exist depending on the setting and homebrew content. The most famous fiery equine is the Nightmare, an evil extraplanar steed wreathed in flames, often serving fiendish masters. It has the ability to ignite its hooves, leaving behind trails of fire as it gallops through battle. Nightmares are known for their resistance to fire, supernatural speed, and the ability to fly or plane shift at their rider’s command.

Another variant is the Equine Flame, sometimes found in settings influenced by the Elemental Plane of Fire. These creatures are composed of living flame or have bodies infused with fire magic, making them both dangerous and swift. In certain campaign settings, Fire Horses are divine or legendary creatures, appearing as celestial mounts for fire deities or heroic warriors. Some DMs homebrew fire-themed pegasi, unicorns, or warhorses with flaming manes and the ability to set foes ablaze with their attacks.

Players may encounter Fire Horses in volcanic regions, near portals to the Plane of Fire, or as summoned creatures by powerful spellcasters. In some lore, they are created through magical rituals, binding fire elementals into equine forms. Their abilities often include immunity to fire, the ability to deal fire damage with kicks or trampling attacks, and sometimes even fiery teleportation.

As a mount, a Fire Horse is often challenging to control, requiring magical means or a strong bond with its rider. They are highly sought after for their speed and resilience but can be dangerous to unprepared adventurers due to their destructive nature.
