The Fire Crystal is an enemy encountered in battle alongside the optional boss Culex in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Like Culex and the other crystals, it is from the dimension of Vanda and met in a portal leading to that world found in Monstro Town.

True to its name, the Fire Crystal uses largely fire-based attacks, including Flare, Flame, and Flame Wall. It rounds these attacks out with the moves Hot Shot and Fire Saber.

It is weak against Ice-based attacks. It has greater Magic Defense than the next-in-line Water Crystal. Combined with its exceptional Magic Attack, it can be considered an even more difficult opponent than even the Earth Crystal.

In the Nintendo Switch remake, the Fire Crystal initially returns in the Culex boss fight where it retains its two-dimensional 16-bit appearance, offering a stark contrast to the game's revamped and updated 3D graphics. However, a post-game rematch gives it a full model, called Fire Crystal 3D, as well as the other crystals and its master. In this form, defeating it causes it to use Vigor Force before shattering, giving all its allies an attack boost.
