@ArhenMaoDante Thanks

I guess the option number 2 would be the most likely. Akantor does have a very thick skin and high heat resistence, it seems that it uses the rocks as a means to push itself down into the lava, it does not dive into it like the Lavasioth. When trying to emerge it pierces the rocks from below and once the opening is big enough for the entire body to go through it gets pushed out.

Yeah, I guess it makes a little sense ^___^
