The fire elemental is a third-level creature of the Preserve town in Heroes of Might and Magic IV. It can be found at the Creature Portal, or the Fire Portal external dwelling. Fire elementals are ranged units that shoot balls of flame at their enemies. They tie the earth elemental for highest health, and have the highest attack as well. Also, like the other elementals, they resist many negative status effects. Finally, they are naturally fire-resistant, and their attacks are less effective against creatures that are similarly fire-resistant.
