Description
Personality
Meltus may look like a scary dinosaur with fearsome looks, but he is actually a rather shy Mixel with a permanent sniffly cold and allergies to almost everything especially to fire and lava, which is ironic because he is an Infernite. Whenever he and his fellow Infernite Cousins venture out to someplace new, he takes one sniff and starts sneezing flames. He often finds life hard with these allergies but despite them, he often does his best to get by. However, unlike Flamzer, he doesn't worry about safety which makes him quite easygoing and carefree.
Physical Appearance
Meltus has a red dress-like body with two red arms with black hands, a long red tail, and an orange spike on the back. He has feet similar to Krader's with a head with eight teeth similar to Kraw's over a red jaw, with a grey nose emitting flames, and a dark red triangular tip on the front which connects to the top of the jaw including two eyes with reddish eyebrows connecting on top. On the top of his head, there are two orange spikes on the front and back of each other.
In the cartoon, his red jaw doesn’t clip through the dark red part on the back on his head.
Ability
Origin
He has the ability to emit flames from his nostrils upon sneezing. He can also light the end of his tail on fire and control it like a hose.
Due to being an Infernite, Meltus has incredible heat resistance, being able to take a bath in lava with no negative effects or physical pain despite his ironic allergies to fire and lava.
Biography
Early life
Little is known about Meltus' past. However, he did develop allergies at some point.
First adventures
During a camping trip with his brothers, he Mixed with Burnard to save Flamzer from a forest freeze, albeit with some difficulty. Eventually, the freeze was put out.
During the trip, they were abducted by the Orbitons' ship-space and taken to the Mixel Moon. Not taking the invasion too friendly, the two tribes had a Max battle, but later find each other friendly.
At the welcoming party, he suffered from a bit of gas that was quickly fixed with some Oxy-Juice, which he later had to rescue with the help of Nurp-Naut from a Nixel and made the excuse that he was allergic to Rokit Sauce to avoid eating it.
Their fun was short-lived, as he and Rokit teamed up against the Glowkies, though they turned out to be friendly and joined them in a party.
However, he grew homesick and wished to go back home in the end. ("Mixel Moon Madness")
Further adventures
Meltus had attended a special convention with his Infernite brothers and alien tribes the Orbitons and Glowkies. At it, they competed in quite a few events. ("Mixels Convention Craze")
Meltus was one of many Mixels who were forced to outrun the Nixelstorm and help shut it down. ("Mixels Rush")
Meltus was one of almost all of the Mixels who searched and fought for the Mixamajig, and then captured by King Nixel. He maxed with his branch of the Infernites in order to defeat him, and Mixopolis was revealed by the Weldos soon after. ("A Quest for the Lost Mixamajig")

Sneeze fire with shy and sweet-natured Mixel Meltus, 1 of 3 quirky members of the Infernites tribe featured in LEGO® Mixels™ Series 4 sets.
Trivia
- He is the only Series 4 Mixel without sharp teeth (which is ironic when considering the fact that he's based off of a dinosaur).
- He is said to be allergic when he is outside of the Magma Wastelands. It is unknown how this is possible. One possibility is that none of the things he is allergic to are present in said location.
- The spike on his nose is dark red in the cartoon, but on his LEGO model, it is orange like the spikes on the top of his head and back.
- He has six teeth on his LEGO model, while in the cartoon, he has eight, likely due to sizing issues.
- He is able to stand up normally, similar to a humanoid.
