A large salamander (ESO)

Salamanders are amphibians found in tropical regions such as Summerset, Murkmire and Southern Elsweyr.[1] They can vary in size from very small to extremly large.[2][3] The largest salamander ever recorded, Graveld, was put on public display at the Royal Menagerie, but later escaped to the wilderness and was ordered to be killed.[4]

Large salamanders are capable of being very dangerous, with them attacking prey using their long tongues and tails.[5] They also defend themselves with intense elemental magic.[5][6] Some salamanders have a knack for one particular brand of elemental magic. It's not too unusual to find a salamander that is talented primarily in producing natural shock, flame or frost magic instead of utilizing all three in equal measure.[7][8] The toxin skin salamander is a breed that relies on venom instead of magic.[9] Scholars studying arcane husbandry have learned of Ayleid rituals that grant luminescent qualities to common salamanders.[10]

Newts are a comparable species of amphibian.[1]
