A salamander has the torso of a man atop the body of a great snake. It has a thick hide. It is poisonous if eaten. They are not the salamanders from real life but rather are based on the monsters from D&D.

When chatted to, the salamander will mumble incomprehensibly.
The salamander mumbles incomprehensibly.


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".
