"Lava Golem":

Yu-Gi-Oh!

This card's lore was: This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by Tributing two monsters on your opponent's side of field and is Special Summoned to your opponent's side of the field. This card inflicts 700 points of damage to the Life Points of this card's controller during each of his/her End Phases. If you Special Summon this monster, you cannot Normal Summon or Set a monster during the same turn.

In episode 126, Yami Marik played this card against Joey Wheeler. He Tributes Joey's "Jinzo" and "Baby Dragon". In the next episode, Joey attacks Marik's "Plasma Eel" with it, but Marik activates "Relieve Monster" to return "Plasma Eel" to his hand and Special Summon it in Defense Position. It cannot be destroyed by battle, so it is able to defend Marik's Life Points. On his next turn, Joey Tributes this card, "Panther Warrior" and "Rocket Warrior" to Summon "Gilford the Lightning".

In the Japanese anime, this card's attack name is Golem Volcano, but Jonouchi decides to rename it to Jonouchi Fire.

In episode 155, Yubel removes this card from play with "Chain Material" in order to use it as a Fusion Material Monster in a fusion using "Super Polymerization". However, Jaden activates "Spiritual Fusion", allowing him to choose the Material Monsters instead.

Sadie and Corey use this in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force as part of Burn and Final Countdown Decks, respectively.
