The '''Old flame''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest X}}. It is a more powerful version of an ordinary [[Dancing flame]]. Its name is a play on the English term "[[Wiktionary:old flame|old flame]]".

==Characteristics==
Old flames have a near identical appearance to their lesser forms, being fire [[Elemental family|elemental]]s that with a vaguely humanoid shape with a mischievous grinning face. They are now composed of deep crimson flames, with blue flames closer to the center of their bodies. According to their bestiary description in ''X'', an old flame is formed when a dancing flame has continued to burn unextinguished for 1,000 years, evolving into a more powerful form closer to that of primordial flame. Its fire abilities are much stronger than those of an ordinary dancing flame.

The old flame that appears in ''Tact'' has the demeanor of a stereotypical elderly person, injuring his back with the slightest physical exertion, becoming belligerent at the drop of a hat, and insisting that he is younger and stronger than he is actually capable. He is old friends with [[Cogsgrove]], the Mayor of Ibbley.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ10}}===
Old flame first appeared in Version 3.1 of the game. In battle, it has the ability to breathe out [[Scorch]] and can cast [[Kafrizz]] on its opponents.

==={{DQTact}}===
Old flame appears as an A-rank monster of the [[Inorganic family]] during the second part of the limited ''True Dragon Quest X'' event. He will join the party in Chapter 3, Episode 4 of the event quests entitled "State of Emergency" and he can be fully awakened by completing the quest at any difficulty. The old flame also stars in his own Battle Road.
