They can attack Mario by jumping on him, or they can attack Mario's partner to [[Injured|cost them a few turns]] unless they block the attack. Attacking them causes them to split into more Embers, and they are immune to fire attacks. | ||

In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Embers now have a gradient on their flames and bright yellow eyes. They no longer split into two Embers when hit by most attacks, but they (along with Lava Bubbles and their stronger relatives [[Phantom Ember]]s) can still do so if hit by a fire attack, which now heal Embers instead of merely doing no damage. In battle, they have a number of new moves. Their most frequently-used attack involves flaring up in front of Mario or his partner, dealing 3 damage. They can also spit a fireball at Mario or his partner, which deals 2 damage and may cause a [[burn]]. Their third attack involves creating a large wave of flame that hits both Mario and his partner, dealing 2 damage and possibly causing a burn. | In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Embers now have a gradient on their flames and bright yellow eyes.

In this game, Embers are depicted as "flame spirits" and ghosts, the spirits of the pirate ghost [[Cortez]]'s crew. They first appear on the [[S.S. Flavion]], where they attack and sink the ship in a reference to St. Elmo's fire. During this sequence, a particular Ember is mistaken by [[Flavio]] for Cortez himself. Embers later appear on [[Keelhaul Key]] as enemies. Mario battles three of them upon first entering Keelhaul Key's shantytown. Later, a group of them is seen attacking [[Admiral Bobbery]], [[Lord Crump]] in his "Four-Eyes" disguise, and a Toad sailor on a wooden bridge. Bobbery insists on fighting these Embers himself, and is later seen chased to the top of a palm tree being encircled by the two Embers, which Mario then defeats. They are also fought in this same area if Mario hits the stone heads an incorrect number of times after inserting the [[Skull Gem]] into the entrance to [[Pirate's Grotto]]. In Pirate's Grotto itself, Embers are encountered as regular enemies by themselves and fighting alongside Lava Bubbles, and this is the only area where they can be found after completing Chapter 5. A particular Ember and its allies are battled in Pirate’s Grotto for a [[Black Key]]. | In this game, Embers are depicted as "flame spirits" and ghosts, the spirits of the pirate ghost [[Cortez]]'s crew.
