Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In Real Life, Pyromania is a mental disorder that compels a person to set fires and causes the sufferer to feel enjoyment and stress release (and in some cases even sexual releasenote although this is known as pyrophilia, which is technically a separate disorder and can be mutually exclusive from pyromania.) from starting and watching fires. In addition to being a very rare disorder, it also has the standard mental disorder caveat of no two cases being identical and usually coming bundled with other issues and a difficult childhood. While real-life pyromaniacs tend to be somewhat mentally unstable, fictional characters with this disorder tend to exhibit it to the level of evil, murderous Ax-Crazy behavior who really only get their kicks from death and murder with fire. Pyromaniac characters enjoy lighting fires, watching fires, playing with fires, killing with fires, and generally make and use fire whenever they're able to. Whether they have inherent fire powers or merely use flamethrowers or other incendiary weapons, you really don't want to get in their sights. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Note that using or favoring Kill It with Fire does not automatically make a character a pyromaniac; having a mental disorder that makes the character feel enjoyment in the act of starting fires is what makes one a pyromaniac. May overlap with Ax-Crazy. Compare Psycho Electro for electricity-based powers and Mad Bomber for a common, terrifying overlap. For a more lighthearted take on mental illness-induced criminality, see Sticky Fingers. |

Starcraft: The sequel adds a helpful description text to the firebat in the campaign, claiming that the rate of pyromania in firebat recruits is 'only' around 70% and that recruits tend to be drawn from prisoners with arson sentences. That's a lot of fire-starting crazies... |

In Cosi, by Louis Nowra, one of the inmates of the mental asylum is a pyromaniac who was institutionalized after setting his mother's cat on fire. He asserts that it would all have been fine if his mother hadn't inadvertently let the flaming feline into the house when she came out to see what the noise was, resulting in the whole building burning down. | |

CSI: NY had two of them in the two-part season 9 opener. They suspect a convicted arsonist/pyro is behind a fire which contained a booby trap that killed a firefighter; he insists he didn't do it (supported by the fact he only started fires which did property damage and went out of his way to avoid killing anyone) and offers to help. It turns out the real killer was an investigator who learned a lot from him from interviews and got obsessed with him (and maybe became a pyromaniac herself). However, at the end of the episode, he suffers a relapse in the next part...after being jailed for taking revenge on the people who hurt him as a kid, he is seen using his glasses as an improvised magnifying glass to start a fire in a paperback book in his cell. | |

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar: The Daemons of the Eternal Conflagration are renowned for their specialization in, and obsession with, the use of fire and the convocation includes more Flamers of Tzeentch than any others. Led by a Lord of Change known as the Radiant Lord, Tzeentch turns to the Eternal Conflagration when the god of magic feels the time for subtlety is at an end and those who stand in the way of his goals, and everything else in the vicinity, needs to be reduced to ashes. The members of the Pyrophane Cult are obsessed with the wyrdflame, believing that true glory lies in fiery destruction. Members of the Cult revel in the use of sorcerous fire to burn everyone who stands against them and their dark god blesses them for bringing corrupting flame to his enemies. |

The Simpsons: Ralph Wiggum has shown signs of pyromania on a couple of occasions. He shows Bart the place where he claims to have seen a leprechaun, who told him to burn things. When asked by a fire safety man if he was going to start any fires, he replies that "at my house, we call them uh-ohs". In The Simpsons: Road Rage, he'll also spout out the "the leprechaun tells me to burn things!" line when you pick him up. Reverend Lovejoy is also implied to have these tendencies, such as his being overenthusiastic towards a burning as well as buying a van whose sole purpose is to burn books. In one episode it is implied that he had burned down a previous church of his. |

The Flash: The villain Heatwave became this under Geoff Johns. It's hinted he burned down his childhood home while his family was inside. Became canon (for a time, at least) as a result of the "Top was responsible for the Rogues undergoing Heel Face Turns" storyline: what makes this incarnation of Heat Wave a sympathetic, even tragic, villain is that he is genuinely mentally ill and he recognizes it; when his pyromania first surfaced, he unintentionally set the family home on fire and was so captivated by the flames that he couldn't make himself move to go for help as his family burned to death inside. While he did commit murder by arson once (a childhood friend who made the mistake of pranking him by locking him in a freezer), Heat Wave constantly burns places down despite not wanting to and all his attempts at seeking therapy have failed. | |

Borderlands 2: Krieg becomes one if you put points into his "Hellborn" skill tree. Many psychos from both games exhibit pyromaniacal tendencies. In the second game, there's a cult of psychos who worship the Firehawk (aka Lilith) and are completely obsessed with fire. Pyro Pete, from the "Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage" DLC. As Torgue himself helpfully points out, "HIS GIMMICK IS THAT HE REALLY LIKES FIRE". In his case, it's implied that his pyromania and psychotic behavior is all just kayfabe. |

Halo Wars: The UNSC Flamethrower Marines are described as "pyromaniacs to the core" and their in-game combat chatter backs it up, with the Marines shouting things like "I can't believe I get paid to do this!" The Halo encyclopedia released in 2011 gives a large dose of realism, saying that anyone who used a flamethrower in active service is prescribed psychological assessment immediately afterwards. | |

King of the Hill: Joseph, from the later episodes. Whenever he and Bobby find something he almost always suggests that they burn it. In an episode when Bobby is a guidance counselor for girls with problems, Joseph at one point bursts in to say "I have these strange desires to burn things" and in another when a TV crew working for Dusty Hill of ZZ Top is filming at the Hill's house, they tell the neighborhood that there's buried treasure in Hank's lawn and Joseph pours gasoline and lights it with a lighter. | |

The Closer has Bill Croelick, a very creepy pyromaniac, as a Recurring Character; it's mentioned that he's sexually aroused by the smell of burning flesh, and he repeatedly comments on the ways to make people go up in flames. He's not the culprit in either of his appearances (though it's heavily implied that he did set a girlfriend on fire years ago, but due to witness death the verdict at trial was Not Guilty), and even helps Priority Homicide find the culprit both times with his knowledge of fires. | |

World of Warcraft's Fire mages. Indeed, one of their talents pre-Mists of Pandaria was named "Pyromania". It also bleeds into their gameplay; whereas Arcane mages draw their power from their mana supply (representative of the great mysteries of magic) and Frost mages' spells are strengthened by the debilitating effects on their enemies, Fire mages are mostly empowered by internal procs, representing the sheer rush of successfully lighting everything on fire. | |

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Pyromania (called "Firebug") is a mental disorder that forces the character to roll willpower whenever given a chance to start a fire (which is surprisingly often) and gives Fellowship penalties from depression whenever the character isn't setting fire to stuff. Most characters who acquire it tend to live short, interesting lives before being put down by law enforcement or their fellow party members after setting fire to something they really shouldn't. And if the party Red Wizard ever gets it, run. Run like your pants are on fire, which they will be shortly if you do not. | |

Irregular Webcomic!: The Fantasy theme has Kyros, the fireball-happy wizard. It rapidly gets to the point where every other member of the party dives for cover when he begins casting a spell. He considers it an aiming problem when he only hits the things he's pointing the fireball at. Given that the Fantasy theme uses a houserule where XP can only be spent on things the players have practiced using, and all Kyros ever uses is his fireball, this trend is one that never reverses. | |

Don't Starve: Willow is also known as "The Firestarter", and for good reason. She regenerates Sanity from being near fires, but also has lower maximum Sanity and will automatically and randomly start fires with the lighter she carries if her Sanity gets low. On top of this, most of the time when you have her inspect an object, she'll contemplate how flammable it is. | |

The Practice: In "Fire Proof" an Italian-American businessman is charged with arson and felony murder due to a confessed pyromaniac serial arsonist claiming that he'd been hired to burn the guy's warehouse for insurance fraud, which later killed the night watchman. He openly admits to masturbating while watching his fires, as they sexually arouse him, and is a huge creep all around. The jury acquits the businessman, and he later admits to Lindsey he'd made the fraud scheme up, setting the fire just for his usual kicks. He figured that he'd get caught, so instead first turned himself in and became the state's witness to get a deal. | |

Given his hobby of blowing up golf courses, his burnt hands, the short speech he gives to a dope they were threatening to set on fire, and "Mr. Reed"'s threat to tell the police of his activities. Someone had the bright idea to call the bluff of a jittery, wild-eyed man who has tied him to a chair and has this to say: Norman himself has his moments as well, although he generally prefers to take the "bomb-throwing" part of "Bomb Throwing Anarchist" Up to Eleven. |

Pathfinder: Elananxes are cruel catlike fey with a close affinity to fire — they are immune to fire damage themselves and their bites are inherently fiery — and these two things combined lead them to have an intense love of wildfires, which they often start themselves, as they greatly enjoy both watching the flickering of the flames and the suffering of other creatures caught in the fire. Pathfinder's goblins are another race of pyromaniacs, who especially enjoy setting living creatures on fire. Hobgoblins also have some stripes of this, though they lean more towards explosives instead. |

New Tricks: In "Where There's Smoke", the team investigate the death of a London Gangster in a suspicious pub fire. Initially convinced that the fire was set to kill the gangster, Brian realises that it is almost impossible to reliably start a fire in the method that the arsonist used unless you are very practiced. He discovers that the fire was actually the work of a serial arsonist, and the deaths were incidental. The serial arsonist turns out to be a retired Metropolitan Fire Brigade fire investigator, who had responsibility for investigating his own arsons. | |

Berserk: During most of her formative years, Farnese was one as taking part in burnings was the only source of relief that she had from her Lonely Rich Kid existence, which got mistaken for religious devotion by the Holy See. As an adult, she even derived sexual gratification from it, at one point even masturbating to people being burned at the stake. This side of her disturbed her greatly, even though she tried desperately to convince herself that she was not wrong. Eventually, she manages to get over it. | |

The first antagonist in the Killer Escape series is the Burner, a masked Serial Killer who enjoys torturing his victims before burning them alive. Notes from his victims hint that he became this after witnessing his wife burned horribly in a car crash, but aliens in the third game explain that he intentionally burned his own wife. The Burner returns for Killer Escape 4, where upon surviving a boiler explosion to the face , he constantly stalks and attacks you throughout the game, but he can't kill you due to your regenerative powers similar to the protagonist of Being One. |

In the second game, there's a cult of psychos who worship the Firehawk (aka Lilith) and are completely obsessed with fire. Pyro Pete, from the "Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage" DLC. As Torgue himself helpfully points out, "HIS GIMMICK IS THAT HE REALLY LIKES FIRE". In his case, it's implied that his pyromania and psychotic behavior is all just kayfabe. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!: Flame Knuckle appears in a flamethrower-equipped power suit and attacks you with incendiary weapons when it's destroyed. |

Archer: Cheryl Tunt noticeably likes to set fires, mostly in trash cans, and likes to watch fire burn. In two Noodle Incidents, she watched a dumpster fire and wanted to wander around town hoping to find a fire to watch. In one episode, she and Pam also had dates with firemen and it can be assumed she was attracted mostly by his profession. In a flashback, her brother reveals she set their gazebo on fire when she was a little girl, probably around seven or eight. In short, she's fascinated by fire and has a bunch of other stuff wrong with her, making her a rare realistic example of this trope. The series also eventually confirmed/acknowledged she was mentally ill when her brother Cecil tried to get conservatorship over her, though nothing really changed due to subsequent seasons constantly changing their theme and it'd be terribly inconvenient if Cheryl were institutionalized. | |

Link from The Legend of Zelda has always had a thing for bombs, and the original The Legend of Zelda was the only game in the series (until the Oracle games) that required you to start several forest fires in order to progress, especially if you didn't have a guide telling you where to burn. | |

Submarine: Jordana loves setting things on fire, and many of her dates with Oliver involve doing so. She always dresses in red to highlight this. Unlike many examples of the trope, she's not insane or especially dangerous, merely sort of a jerk, and Oliver treats her pyromania as a quirk that proves she's not too gooey. | |

Fallout: Most of the games have a Pyromaniac perk, which causes the player to inflict greater fire damage with varying weapons. Fallout 3's is perhaps the most spectacular, increasing fire damage by a whopping 50%. Enough to make the flamer outperform a minigun at short range. Cook-Cook, one of the Fiend leaders in Fallout: New Vegas, fights with a flamethrower. He's also completely psychotic. And a rapist. Of both genders. And all ages. And maybe even his pet Brahmin. He's a damn good chef, though. Fallout 4 Has "The Forged", a group of raiders totally obsessed with fire, using flamers and Molotov cocktails as their weapons of choice. |

For starters, he has a brainwashed Terra burn fifty of the Gestahlian Empire's finest soldiers alive, he torches Castle Figaro to persuade Edgar to hand over Terra, he has Thamasa burned to the ground (to which he explicitly states "This little Hamlet has too much "boring" and not enough "burning." Burn it to the ground!"), it was heavily implied that his misaligning the Warring Triad also resulted in several fires on the planet, and don't forget his frequent use of the Light of Judgment which kills people by incinerating them after his ascension to Godhood. | |

BattleTech: This is canonically one of the primary reasons a Mechwarrior would choose to pilot a Firestarter, a design which is so niche in its utility that it is of little strategic use when rampant use of incendiaries is not called for, outside of impromptu scout or picket duty. The number of Firestarter pilots whose mini-biographies include phrases like "morbid fascination with fire" is almost excessive, and at the very least constitutes a plurality of printed bios for the design's pilots. The rather low sadism-to-efficiency ratio of choosing to burn enemy infantry alive as opposed to just using a machine gun probably doesn't help the mech's reputation as vehicle of choice for the kind of mechwarrior who got kicked out of most of the reputable companies for enjoying themselves a bit too much. | |

Books of Bayern: Fire-speakers are compelled by their powers to burn bigger and hotter flames, and unless the speaker has proper training they will burn themselves to death following the voice of fire. The temptation grows stronger the more skilled a fire-speaker is, and even those with the discipline to resist will eventually be consumed anyway by their own power. The only hope is to learn a language opposite of fire, like wind or water, to temper it. A rebellious captain seeks to use fire-speaking in war, but his men are so poorly-trained that they incinerate themselves before they even see battle. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: This is something of a recurring issue among Targaryens, who are often fascinated by normal fire, dragonfire, and/or wildfire to worrying degrees. It has to be said that most have been able to handle it in a socially acceptable manner when they have been bitten by the firebug, crises notwithstanding. Then you get the few nutjobs, like Aerys, who go overboard at the stupidest times. The Dance of the Dragons was an exceptional display of the family breaking out the pretty, pretty flames at the least provocation across the board, no matter if they were Black or Green. (Take-home lesson: MAD doesn't work when many of those with the nukes secretly, and deep-down, just really enjoy seeing them explode, and will unconsciously lean towards taking the opportunity to let loose when it comes up.) Aerys Targaryen, the Mad King, eventually became a full-fledged pyromaniac. Jamie reveals in book four that the king, in the later years of his marriage, was generally "uninterested" in the queen except for on days when he'd seen someone burned to death in front of him. Speaking of Targaryen kings and wildfire... that which connects them all is the Guild of Alchemists: Targaryen kings who heavily promoted their work, especially the creation of the deadly and unstable wildfire, were then facilitated in kind by the Guild, occasionally eclipsing the influence of the Order of Maesters at court. All members of the Guild we've heard of or met seem to love seeing their wildfire concoction getting used just a little bit too much. The Red Priests can get in on this action, although most seem to be more pragmatic in their (very liberal) use of fire than you'd typically expect for the trope. After all, fire is their god: frivolous use just for your own jollies would probably get higher temple officials to frown at you and cut you down to size, pronto. Followers then egg on to heights of worrying "devotion", however... they get a pass. |

Gaunt's Ghosts: Brostin. In his civilian life before the destruction of Tanith, he was a firefighter and also an arsonist. After the Founding, he was aptly assigned as a flametrooper. Whenever Brostin uses his weapon or witnesses a fire, he is shown drawing personal satisfaction from it. And he's a chain smoker too. His smoking habit is half "safe" release, half Addiction Displacement; it gets a lot stronger when he can't or shouldn't be lighting everything on fire. | |

Touhou Project: Mononobe no Futo enjoys setting things on fire when she's feeling scared or simply emotional, such as when she was deeply moved by a thought she had and decided she had to burn something. In Hopeless Masquerade her Last Word is to set the entire stage on fire, which causes continuous damage to the opponent. The whole thing is a Historical In-Joke about the person she's based on's involvement in the burning of Buddhist temples during a religious war. | |

Magic: The Gathering: Being Red aligned with, among other things, fire, passion, and impulsivity, quite a lot of Red-aligned people have pyromaniacal tendencies. This includes a large number of Red mages and planeswalkers, including Jaya Ballard and Chandra Nalaar, who often excel at pyromancy. | |

Psychonauts: Phoebe has some... issues with starting fires. She occasionally has psychic "outbursts..." While Played for Laughs, in some ways she's a more realistic example than most on this page—she's a nice, generally level-headed person, with her pyromania presented as a bad habit that she's trying to break. Raz will start having urges too. "Oops, sorry bird." When you continue to torch innocent woodland creatures, Raz will lampshade this sadism. |

Kid Radd: The protagonists come across a colony of NPCs who, being invincible, have odd party games one of which is called Blatant Pyromania. It's played by setting yourself on fire. Sheena and Radd get in on it too. Sheena, an NPC, finds it surprisingly fun; Radd has an understandably less enthusiastic opinion. | |

Game of Thrones: This appears to be a genetic trait among the Targaryens, many of whom have an obsession with heat or fire and (sometimes correctly) believe themselves immune to it. They also have a fixation on lost dragons. Aerys Targaryen's last words were "Burn them all." Also, that's how he killed Ned's father. Since he did not have dragons, he decided the next best thing was burning people so he could pretend to be one. During the wildfire explosion in "Blackwater", everyone looks horrified except Pyromancer Hallyne, who's giggling. |

The Kiryuin family in Natural Selection show traits of this seeing as their favorite method of destruction involves burning things to the ground. Ryuko set fire to the Honnouji slums twice over in a fit of rage and Ragyo burned down the hospital she was born at as well as several rival companies that offended her sensibilities. | |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: The Fury was an astronaut who was burned over all of his body from an accident while on a mission, and became unable to feel pain. During this experience, he saw the Earth obscured by a wall of fire, and subsequently became obsessed over this vision of the Earth in flames. Most likely from some form of PTSD, he turned into a psychotic pyromaniac and sought to burn all of his enemies with his powerful flamethrower. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Each and every Ork Burna Boy, and most Skorcha gunners, at least to the degree that orks can be called "mentally ill" by human standards. Orks will happily kill each other for their equipment or their position in the hierarchy, but skorcha wielders are considered unhinged because they will set orks on fire just to see them "do the burny dance". The Arch-Arsonist of Charadon, an Ork warlord, measures his success in worlds burned. Orks do not do things by halves (well, except people anyway). As cleansing fire is quite effective as a demonstration of what happens when you turn to Chaos, many Inquisition-affiliated factions have people who are living the dream of setting things on fire and getting rewarded for it. The Sisters of Battle are a playable faction particularly infamous for it given that they're known for being highly fanatical and their rules in simple terms allow for a lot of flame weapons to end up on their side of the battlefield. The Salamanders chapter of the Space Marines are from a volcanic planet with a constantly shifting gravity, generally have had rules boosting the effectiveness of their flame-based weapons, and their culture even includes numerous very intensive rituals for deaths, mostly involving cremation. Pyromania jokes just write themselves from there. The Fire Lords chapter of the Space Marines has something of an obsession with flame and makes heavy use of flamer weapons and incendiary missiles during battle. |

Warhammer: The Bright Order — the College of Magic which specializes in fire magic — is something of a subversion. Aqshy, the Wind of Fire, tends to inspire rampant pyromania in human wizards who use it regularly, so a significant part of a Bright Wizard's training is dedicated to resisting the pyromaniac urge that might overtake him. The Skaven of Clan Volkn, which lives within the volcano of Fire Mountain, have a decidedly unhealthy fascination with fire and the setting thereof, and is particularly known for its prosperity for using a large number of warpfire throwers in battle. |

Team Fortress 2: The Pyro. Apart from the fact that most of their weaponry causes people to be set on fire, the game makes it very clear that the Pyro takes delight in starting said fires: About the only intelligible things the Pyro can utter are a maniacal laughter made when using the flamethrower & the occasional "ouch" when getting hit by something. In the Meet The Team shorts and Valve comics, even when not burning their enemies alive, The Pyro will idly play with their lighter and torch whatever they happen to have on hand. And while according to "Meet the Pyro", they seem to think all this fire does something else, the comics have shown that even then they've got a pretty damn strong affection of burning stuff. | |

Monster: Johan has set lots of buildings on fire (some of them with people in them) throughout his life (and he's still only a young adult in his late teens or early twenties), but since he's The Sociopath who's extremely fond of Dissonant Serenity, it's hard to tell if he actually derives any pleasure from setting the fires or watching them burn (or even killing people for that matter). The neo-Nazis seemed fond of setting buildings on fire and burning people to death, which probably helps to explain why they sought out Johan and wanted him to join them (aside from the whole "master race" thing), though they clearly took pleasure in attempting to wipe out people they thought were inferior or who stood in their way. | |

He claims that where he's from this was seen as nothing but a fun quirk. In a later episode, after dealing with the many people after Sea Hawk because he set their ships on fire, they run into someone mad that Mermista set one of their boats on fire. She sheepishly says she just wanted to see what it was like. |

League of Legends: Annie — setting things on fire is pretty much her MO. She also has a flaming bear for a pet that she summons for more burning of her enemies. Brand's visual design, backstory, and even name all revolve around fire, in addition to every single one of his abilities and most of his dialogue. In fact, he takes the obsessive, murderous compulsions of pyromania to the absolute extreme; His sole purpose for existing is to Set the World on Fire, and when chosen in the Champion select he asks if the player is ready to do just that. |

Blue Heelers had a special two-part episode at the start of the 2003 season in memory of the horror bushfires that summer. All the fires were caused by a pyro. | |

Barney Miller: There's a serial arsonist setting fires throughout the neighborhood. Hapless liquor store owner Mr. Cotterman decides to torch his place for the insurance money, letting the arsonist take the blame, but as luck would have it just as he comes to the squad room (to set up his alibi for when the fire is scheduled to start) he finds out that they just caught the arsonist. | |

Hidden Talents: Torchie often starts small fires in his room, at meals, and even in the middle of lessons. He also carries around half a dozen lighters with him so he can watch the sparks. His fire-starting is actually due to Power Incontinence rather than pyromania, but that still doesn't explain all the lighters. | |

Dino Attack RPG has this sort of character in Andrew Jackson, AKA agent Pyro, who, in keeping with his Team Fortress 2 namesake, is a complete psycho who loves to see things burn. His daughter is shown to use a flamethrower as well, though it's hard to tell if she herself is also a pyromaniac or if it's just the result of her impersonating her father to protect him from The Mole. | |

Mega Man Battle Network: Mr. Match's entire schtick is setting things on fire, which he relishes even after leaving WWW. Of course, he barely holds a candle to the fire-themed NetNavis he operates throughout the series. He has a new one in every game, and each one is swathed with flames and at least as manic about fire as the man himself. | |

Till Lindemann of Rammstein loves fire and is a certified pyrotechnics expert. He even had the entire band be trained in pyrotechnics so they can put even more fire and flamethrowers on the stage as they perform. The song "Feuer Frei" means "fire at will", "Benzin" is "gasoline". There's also "Mein Herz brennt" (my heart is burning), "Sonne" (sun), "Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen" (do you want to see the bed on fire), "Feuer und Wasser" (fire and water). "Asche zu Asche" (ash to ash) is about being burnt at the stake. Even the band's name is a reference to an air show disaster which is famous for the video footage of a huge fireball of a plane crashing into a crowd of spectators. Though he apparently really got into the pyrotechnics to distract the audience while he's singing since he's nervous performing in front of people. |
