| Reference | monst.c#line2895 |
A salamander has the torso of a man atop the body of a great snake. They are generated with a spear (6/7 chance) or a trident (2/21 chance) or a stiletto (1/21 chance). They are not the salamanders from real life but rather are based on the monsters from D&D.
Salamanders appear in large numbers on the Plane of Fire.
When #chat-ted to, the salamander will mumble 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". [ Salamanders, by Cherie Winner ]
