Salamander

Salamanders are elementals of fire and a subvariety of Fae. They are embedded within fire.

Physiology & Behaviour
Physically, Salamanders appear to have some traits that are considered by some to be dragon-like in nature, such as tails, scales and reptillian eyes. As such, some non-Fae, especially humans and even dragons themselves, might mistake Salamanders to be a variety of dragon. This offends the Fae of the Fae Forest, as they have been foes with dragons for a long time.

Salamanders are naturally gifted with the ability to control fire magic. Individually, a campfire is possible. As a group, they can burn an entire empire down. They are very much like fire-breathing dragons, to the point where they are considered 'Faerie Dragons'.

Salamanders are all mostly red in hue. However, blue Salamanders can be achieved by years of fire magic practice from the regular red one, signifying age-old experience. Blue Salamanders are respected by fellow Fae.

Breeding
A Salamander is so hot, it can only mate with other Salamanders or another heat-resistant race. However, gaining the trust of a Salamander will allow you to touch their flames without feeling or getting affected by intense heat.

Weaknesses
Regular water cannot extinguish their flames, as they will simply turn it into steam. However, magic-induced water or a lack of oxygen can do so.
