Flambo

Flambo is a small fire creature from the Fire Kingdom who occasionally appears as Finn and Jake's ally. He came into being after Flame Princess blasted one of her subjects. He also appears as the player character in the game Flambo's Hot Mess.

Flambo first appears in the episode "Business Time." Finn uses Flambo to light his flamethrower. He wears a special kind of glove when handling Flambo, and squeezes his torso; causing Flambo's head to get bigger/burn stronger. Finn then lets Flambo run away as he begins to melt icebergs; searching for junk to build a Gauntlet Dock.

Flambo returns in "The Chamber of Frozen Blades" acting as Finn and Jake's campfire while they are staking out the Ice Kingdom. Flambo apparently is their informant, having received a tip that Ice King was up to something suspicious. When Finn and Jake head off to investigate the castle, Finn tosses Flambo a piece of charcoal which he eats.

He is also seen helping Princess Bubblegum with a barbecue in the episode "The Real You," but causes a fire after Peppermint Butler stops watching the grill and argues with Chet.

Flambo returns in the season 3 finale "Incendium". In this episode, he leads Jake to the Fire Kingdom to meet Flame Princess. He casts a Flame Shield spell on Jake, which temporarily protects him from fire and turns him blue-colored. Also, he spat on him.

Appearance
Flambo is completely made of fire and looks like a small animal. (Adam Muto has stated that Flambo is a fire creature that resembles various animals, including a cat, rat, or "whatever." ) He has stubby arms, legs, and a long, fiery tail. He runs on all fours but can also stand upright. When he eats coal, his flames become even larger. Flambo is shown to scream like a girl.
