The Lava Beast will perform these basic melee attacks randomly whenever a target is close enough. Each of these attacks is guaranteed to deal knockback that cannot be negated by Tenacity. Despite having three different styles of attack, there are no notable differences between them.

=== Special Abilities ===
:The Lava Beast burrows again but instead going underground, it starts summoning up to 9 or 10 special Lava Bug minions and then resuming its other attacks once the process is over. Unlike regular Lava Bugs, these ones mostly just hovers around and are more focuses on attacking nearby heroes than doing anything else. When all summoned lava bug minions are killed, the Lava Beast enters a stun phase where it stops doing anything for 7 seconds and will be able to take 50% more damage for that duration.
