It is an interesting concept, but I think that chaos can be elegant and graceful as well as harsh and unbalanced.
I agree with this sentiment as IMHO Chaos is alluring and intriguing like the spiraling prism-like rainbow that appears on the texture of spilled oil.

Oh, I agree. But this particular fire elemental of chaos has a fairly rigid description - something like a sentient coal surrounded by tongues of flame.

I like this second one much better.... the only thing I think that it could use is longer, more languid fire tentacles. Just as this is a picture frame of a dot in time of this Pyrophor's life and movement, so showing movement is paramount. Not all of it's movements are going to be shakey and quick, some will be slower and more sensuous. I think you have the quicker more combustible fire tentacles down, it is the more languid ones you need to add, just on the sides.

Clarity Requested 
Rip & others, what is the difference (in appearance) between this pyrophor and the blazon???
I've sketched some ideas but I scrapped them when I viewed Rip's interpretation of the pyrophor.

Blazon - ". . . is an animate burning rock about six inches across that avoids all beings larger than it."
- Monstrous Compendium, Appendix III
From the pages of my sketch pad, I present the "skeletal" look at my interpretation:
I can add the "flesh" if there's not too much conflict on appearances.

"Their eerily shifting features make pyrophors appear as flickering coals five feet in diameter, with fingers of flame that periodically flare out. These natives of the Elemental Plane of Fire move very quickly and, in the air, resemble small meteors."
So the differences are:
- Pyrophors have facial features; blazons probably don't (at least, it isn't specified).
- Pyrophors are much, much bigger than blazons.

Very well then, I intend to add some "flesh" to this sketch some time later this evening.
