The strongest and the most evil of the ancient elemental masks, Py-Ro controls the element of fire. His temper is known to go off like a volcano when perturbed.
The Wrath of Cortex instruction manual
Py-Ro is the Elemental of Fire and the strongest of the Elementals as well as their leader. When perturbed, his temper is known to go off like a volcano, though he is somewhat calm, if not somewhat insane. He can conjure fire from the ground or as a wall and transforms Crunch into a load of smoldering rocks in his form, showing he may have power over the Earth element. He is voiced by Mark Hamill in the English version and voiced by Toshitaka Shimizu in the Japanese version.
