	Just like the [[lizardfolk]] they are often associated with, salamanders readily get the [[monstergirls]] treatment. The trick is coming up with something more unique than just "hot-blooded lizardgirl with fire [[elementalism]] powers", which admittedly works, but is a little underwhelming and cliche. For example, that's ~~literally~~ the definition of the salamander in the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]].

	'''Salamanders''' (order ''Urodela'') are a clade of amphibians that look more or less like lizards with frog's skin instead of scales. Found throughout much of the world, salamanders became famous amongst the occult bestiaries of ancient peoples because of their tendency to inhabit damp logs which people would then toss on fires, resulting in a panicked salamander then "magically" appearing amidst the flames and fleeing to safety. Because of this, salamanders have become mythologically associated with fire, and Paracelsius even described them as being the "[[elemental]]s" of Fire. ''Actual'' salamanders are... nothing special compared to their froggy cousins, aside from their superior regenerative processes that scientists hope to one day apply to humans. They're pretty much the most basic form of vertebrates, similar to the early fishapods which crawled out of the rivers and swamps and onto land about 360 million years ago.

Modified Salamander.

	As a result, salamanders have proliferated throughout fantasy media as a kind of lesser [[dragon]]; fire-proof and perhaps fire-breathing lizard monsters that usually lack the vast power and/or intelligence of a true dragon.

			===Frost Salamander===
	Because D&D has always liked its grid-filling, there's actually a species of Ice Elemental Kin doppelgangers to the Salamander, the oh-so-imaginatively named "Frost Salamanders". Originating from [[Mystara]], only the oldest of [[neckbeard]]s or the most devout of [[Planescape]] fans will remember them as being anything more than the palette-swapped salamanders you fought in the first [[Icewind Dale]] CRPG. A "true" Frost Salamander is a six-limbed barely sapient reptilian creature that exudes an aura of extreme cold, and which preys upon other creatures like an animal. This version of the frost salamander would be updated to 3.5 in the Monster Manual 2 in what was pretty much a one-to-one conversion; still a dim-witted brutish creature mostly concerned with eating and mating. It was later updated for 5e in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes as an elemental.
