I don’t know what you already have. But here’s a few :D

The Cherufe originated from Chilean mythology and is portrayed as a giant monster that lives in the bases of volcanoes, in the shape of a man, made up of molten magma.

The fire serpent or Xiuhcoatl is an Aztec myth.

Chimera is a female creature from Greek mythology that is known for being a combination of three different creatures. Her bottom half is that of a dragon, her torso is a goat, and her head is a lion. However, in some works of art, the chimera also has a goat and a dragon head and is a fire-breather.

The salamander was associated with fire in myth and folklore because it frequently sprang from wood when it was set aflame for fuel or warmth. Folklore depicted salamanders as being born out of fire or created from flames, and that they lived in volcanoes.

In Norse mythology, the fire giants, also called the Muspeli, giants that live in Muspelheim, also known as the land of fire.
