'''Flamewakers''' are ruthless servants of Ragnaros. They form a rigid society in the fiery regions of the Elemental Plane, ruled by a monarch who in turn answers only to Ragnaros. A flamewaker has a humanoid torso with long muscular arms which rests on a serpentine body; the creature's elongated head has a distinctively demonic quality. Its body is mostly covered with yellow or red scales, though a broad strip of grayish scales runs from its chest down the front of its body. Thick spikes range from 1 to 3 feet long protrude from its shoulders, arms, and tail. Flamewakers are highly intelligent, so they use sophisticated tactics and strategies. A group of flamewakers commonly spreads out to prevent area attacks from hitting too many. They try to divide their opponents, such as through the use of ''dominate monster'' or ''firestorm'' cast between opposing forces. Meanwhile, those flamewakers that engage in melee slowly retreat to draw away attackers, while other flamewakers wait to engage in flanking positions. A flamewaker generates so much heat that its mere touch deals additional fire damage. Flamewakers' metallic weapons (such as a flamewaker's quarterstaff) also conduct this heat.{{Cite|MG|73}}

Elemental plane

Though it was rumored Flamewakers may have once been Dark Iron Dwarves, transformed like the naga, the Flamewakers are native to the elemental plane, and were summoned to Azeroth by Ragnaros to attend their master.Template:Cite There is a possibility that there are also versions loyal to the other elemental forces, as the blue texture for the Flamewaker suggests that not all Flamewakers are fire-aligned (see picture).

This is supported by the Silithus quests to summon elementals from the Elemental Plane - the fire elemental summoned is a Flamewaker (Prince Skaldrenox, an Abyssal Lord).
