| Reference | EvilHack - monst.c, line 3650 |
A frost salamander, :, is a monster that appears in EvilHack. It is an icy counterpart to the standard salamander, and only resides in cold areas; like salamanders, they can wear all armor except boots and wield weapons.
Eating a frost salamander's corpse conveys a high percentage of cold resistance.
Generation
Frost salamanders are only randomly generated in the Ice Queen's Realm.
Strategy
While frost salamanders are incapable of drowning you like their fiery cousins, their strong attacks and cold damage can prove perilous for the unprepared. A simple approach to disposing of frost salamanders is drowning them by melting the ice from underneath them - most fire sources, such as a fire horn, wand of fire, or even a scroll of fire (preferably blessed) are acceptable. Even if you do not drown them, frost salamanders are vulnerable to fire by virtue of their affinity to cold.
If you entered the Ice Queen's Realm without full intrinsic cold resistance, frost salamander corpses are a good source of the property.
Encyclopedia entry
For hundreds of years, many people believed that salamanders
were magical. In England in the Middle Ages, people thought
that fire created salamanders. When they set fire to damp
logs, dozens of the slimy creatures scurried out. The word
salamander, in fact, comes from a Greek word meaning "fire
animal".
