Flamelurker

Lore

The boss of the Armor Spider Archstone.

"Since ancient times, a fire demon has been sealed in an underground temple filled with dragon bones."

The archstone speaks of a fire Demon which has been trapped in the Temple with Dragon God since ancient times, Flamelurker is undoubtedly related to that fire Demon. Little can be extrapolated about Flamelurker's origin since the boss soul is given to Ed, and is not used to create any spells.

A ten foot tall, horned creature covered in spikes and engulfed in flames. Its fist attacks create huge explosions of fire. Trapped deep inside the Stonefang Tunnel, the Flamelurker is a hulking humanoid demon completely covered with fire with powerful claws capable of emitting energy shockwaves. It can also leap for a very long distances to hit it's target with a double hand smash. It usually roars before it attacks and, when wounded, jumps back, leaving fiery footprints in front of him.

Theories

The Legendary Big M

+ Expand

The placement of two Hands of God in the Flamelurker's chamber, which speak of the Legendary Big M, hints that Flamelurker is his fire Demon possessed spirit. Big M was a strongman from long ago who used his God-like fists to slaughter dragons with his bare hands. Flamelurker attacks exclusively with his magma-infused fists. Both Boldwin and Ed each carry a Hand of God and are known for their feats of strength which hints that they are descendents of Big M. As trades are often passed down the family line, it is likely Big M was also a blacksmith and thus it would be fitting that Big M's Demon Soul would be used in blacksmithing.

The Last King of the Burrowers

+ Expand

Flamelurker is the last King of the Burrowers as the design of Flamelurker's head mimics the depiction of the King of the Ancient Burrower's head and circlet on the Stonefang archstone. There is also a sarcophagus in the Flamelurker's chamber, a place of prominence, which is likely the King's final resting place.
