History Main / WreathedInFlames

* ''VideoGame/MortalKombat Deception'' (PSP only) ''and Armageddon'' (All platforms) have Blaze. What is Blaze? About 20 feet of pure magma on fire.

* The ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII'' ability Immolation, in which the unit covers himself in flame to damage the enemy, manifesting as a circle of flame surrounding the unit. Normally this constantly drains mana while active, while the passive version does less damage but is always on. The item "Cloak of Flames" gives this ability passively.
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': Warlocks get such an ability. It is also employed by mooks in Utgarde Keep.

* Gulcasa of ''VideoGame/YggdraUnion'' and ''VideoGame/BlazeUnion'', as part of his DangerousForbiddenTechnique.
* Kyo from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' when pulling off a more powerful version of his orochinagi.

* Cinder from ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct''. And his rival is...[[AnIcePerson Gl]][[VoluntaryShapeshifting acius]].

* From ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'', Lilith's Phoenix skill manifests as a pair of wings made of fire, as well as a bit of this. It triggers when she gets a kill, [[ManOnFire igniting nearby enemies]] and giving her a chance to have free bullets for a few seconds.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'', putting points in Krieg's Hellborn tree gives him a chance to set himself on fire whenever he uses incendiary weapons (and with the Delusional Damage skill, any elemental weapons). The entire skill tree is focused around dealing fire damage and gaining buffs while being set on fire, with the end-tier skill making him emit homing fireballs from his body when attacked while going on extended psychotic rants.
* Lots of examples in ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'': the monsters Flaming Troll and Flaming Samurai, as well as the Flaming Gravy Fairy familiar, all have this, [[MeaningfulName as is pretty obvious from their names]]. For the player, there's the ability Salamander Kata, which doesn't hurt your enemies but constantly recharges your MP; a straighter version is the [[http://www.burningman.com/ "Burning, Man"]] effect, which surrounds you in enemy-toasting fire, but also [[ManOnFire burns you just as badly]] unless you have a special tattoo.
* A "Body of Fire" spell in ''VideoGame/ArcanumOfSteamworksAndMagickObscura'' allows you to engulf anyboby, including yourself, with flames, resulting in added fire damage and resistance, as well as burning foes and their equipment when they hit the recepient with melee weapon. Howewer, it's the hardest spell to maintain, [[IncrediblyLamePun burning]] your mana at least twice faster than other prolonged spells, perhaps to prevent it from being a GameBreaker.
* In ''[[VideoGame/PeasantsQuest Peasant's Quest]]'', one of the requirements to be a peasant (and thus face Trogdor) is to be on fire.
* Heat Man from ''VideoGame/MegaMan2'' wraps his entire body in flame before using his charge attack against Mega Man. Curiously, he can only use it after getting hit, and it protects him against all forms of attack (including [[BubbleGun Bubble Lead]], his main weakness).
* Flame Cloak spells in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim''.

* The Arcane Archer's Immolate ability in ''VideoGame/DragonsDogma'' allows you to set yourself on fire. Follow with the [[FlashStep Biting Wind]] ability when dealing with smaller enemies or simply [[ColossusClimb climbing]] on larger ones, then sit back and watch 'em burn.
* From ''VideoGame/{{Smite}},'' the Norse sun goddess Sol appears as a [[FanService stark-naked girl made of fire]].
* The [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Infernal Behemoth]] demon from ''VideoGame/NexusClash'' gets an aura of perpetual flame that burns anyone who tries to attack them with martial arts or melee weapons. Made all the more dangerous because they're half-ton armored slabs of [[TheDeterminator Determinator]], so an enemy is going to have to hit one a ''lot'' to take it down.
* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEchoesShadowsOfValentia'', after [[spoiler: Prince Berkut's girlfriend [[TheOjou Rinea]] becomes a HumanSacrifice and then is [[CameBackWrong forcibly revived]]]], she's seen like this.

* In the ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' series, Meramon and any related members of its family are constantly covered in flames.

* Tsuna of ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn''! has his hands and forehead covered by Sky Flames when he goes [[SuperMode Hyper]] [[TranquilFury Dying]] [[HyperAwareness Will]] Mode.

* ''FanFic/TheLoudAwakening'': After being fused with the Ember Orb, Lynn gains the powers to control fire, including completely engulfing herself in flames.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': Some Fire-type Pokémon are covered in flames, like Moltres or Rapidash. Several Fire-types have this to a lesser degree, like Emboar (who has a ''beard'' of flame) and Normal Mode Darmanitan (who has flaming eyebrows.) The moves Flare Blitz which deals a lot of damage at the cost of recoil to the user, Flame Charge which boosts speed every time it's used, Heat Crash (aforementioned Emboar's signature move) which deals more damage the heaver the user is than the opponent, and Flame Wheel involve tackling the opponent while in this state.

*** The Flame Falcons[[note]]who received ''Chapter Approved'' rules during the game's 3rd Edition[[/note]], a Chapter of the 21st Founding, manifested the mysterious ability to cover themselves in flame that would burn their enemies yet leave themselves and their allies unscathed. The Chapter viewed this mutation as a gift from the Emperor, but the Inquisition did not agree and ordered the Chapter destroyed by the Grey Knights. Although officially declared Excommunicate Traioris and destroyed, there have been some reports of mysterious flame wreathed Astartes in the colours of the Flame Falcons fighting the enemies of the Imperium.
*** The 'Flickering Flame' PsychicPower, from the 8th Edition discipline of Tzeentch, allows the caster to cover its minions with flickering [[TechnicolorFire pink and blue flame]] that enhances the unit's ranged attacks.
** The [[GaidenGame licenced RPG]] ''TabletopGame/BlackCrusade'', has the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Flaming Skull]] mutation; they gain the "Fear" trait meaning they understandably terrify those around them, including their own comrades,, and lose Fellowship (the local charisma-equivalent statistic) in the process. Considering the characters are insane heretics and worshipers of the Chaos Gods, this is thought of as (and is listed as) a ''gift''.

* In TabletopGame/NewVindicators, the character of Phillip Alston, also called (Professor) Incendiary, can do this, being part of a team of elemental shifters similar to the Fantastic Four (though the others turn into their elements, Alston just covers himself in fire).

* Ignus, from ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment''. Originally a ManOnFire, the fire did not really kill him. So he's now this.

** ''VideoGame/{{Halo 3}}'': In online multiplayer, you know what the quickest and easiest way to identify an employee of Bungie Studios is? They'll be wearing Hayabusa armor....that's on fire. This is a reference to a famous description of ''VideoGame/{{Halo 2}}'', given by Bungie while it was still under development, "Halo 2 is a lot like Halo 1, except it's Halo 1 on fire going 120 miles per hour through a hospital zone chased by helicopters and ninjas. And the ninjas are all on fire too."

%%* Sekima Hiwatari of ''Manga/BusoRenkin''.

* [[EverybodyHatesHades Hades]] from Disney's ''{{Disney/Hercules}}.''

* Chernobog in ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}''.

* In the ''Roleplay/GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse'', this was actually pretty common among characters who [[PlayingWithFire controlled fire]]. Starfire, Ablaze, Firefall, Inferna, Centigrade (who is also AnIcePerson), Incendie ("Blaze" in French), Mondfeur ("Moonfire" in German), Ulkataranara ("Comet Man" in Hindi), Playma ("Flame" in Russian), Salamander, Sunfire, Wildfire, Flame, Ifrit, Komet, Inferno, Fuoco Bianco ("White Fire" in Italian), Pumpkin Jack, Tourmaline, Pyro, and Red Devil all could wrap flames around themselves like a blanket.

A character has the ability to set their ''whole'' body ablaze with flames. Different from ManOnFire, as the latter trope involves that person being harmed by said fire. Because fire is awesome, this makes the character [[IncendiaryExponent automatically awesome]]. If they can turn it on or off, expect them to enjoy showing off via FingerSnapLighter. May be a form of BattleAura. FlamingHair is a subtrope of this, where a person can only ignite their hair, as well as ElementalPunch, where the character primarily lights their fists on fire ForMassiveDamage. By their nature, the character is not harmed by setting themselves on fire -- they have the RequiredSecondaryPowers.

* ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'': Kirby turns ''into'' a fireball and rushes into his foes.

* ''{{Transformers}}'' has both Sunstorm, an overpowered clone that is constantly leaking energy, and The Fallen, an ancient evil who's just on fire because fire is cool.

* [[http://www.costumzee.com/view/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/300px-thefallen.jpg The Fallen]] from the Franchise/{{Transformers}} Comics takes this to the extreme by not only being permanently on fire, but ''having flames inside his body.''
