Blaze

Blazes are a type of mob that appears in The Nether. They are able to float and shoot 3 fireballs at the player in a quick succession. They appear to catch fire just before shooting said fireballs, then "cool down" until they can shoot again. They drop Blaze Rods, and can spawn naturally or from a spawner in Nether Ruins.

Fireballs they shoot can set players on fire. Unlike fireballs fired by Ghast, they're not explosive.

Trivia

 * Lighting has no effect on their mob spawner, as Nether mobs typically do not evaluate light when spawning.
