The Varleigh is an uncommon demon of uncertain origin. Some maintain that it is a flame literally possessed by a malevolent spirit. If this is true, there is no reason given as to why a spirit would choose to embody a flame. Regardless, they are fascinating and incredibly destructive monsters.
Often described as a "pillar of flame", the Varleigh can twist and bend its shape to suit its purpose, which is almost certainly mass death. A Varleigh caused the Great Fire of London in 1666, only to be destroyed by the Duke of York (later James the second), using a high pressure water cannon. This is one of the methods to extinguish a Varleigh, a more uncommon but perhaps more effective method is to flash-freeze it using a chemical spray of some kind. This may cause the Varleigh to become a physical element, which in turn can be interred. The Varleigh is likely to return after the ice melts, this author recommends sealing it in a mine or a well of some kind.
