Salamander

Salamanders are lizard-like amphibians with an affinity for fire. They are divided into two groups: normal and elemental.
==Description==
Salamanders come in warm colors like red, orange and yellow with black. That warns predators that they are poisonous. They come in two types:
Normal salamanders are often depicted as a typical salamander in shape, with a lizard-like form, but is ascribed an affinity with fire, sometimes specifically elemental fire. They are so cold that they can live unharmed in a fire and extinguish the hottest flames, and freeze hot water by entering it. They have poison powerful enough that merely by falling into a well they would poison the water, and by climbing a fruit tree poison the fruit.
Elemental salamanders are beings of pure fire and often with more humanoid shaped, though with reptilian/snake like features (some are still completely animal like), and are directly connected to fire. Unlike the legendary salamander, they are generally both intelligent and sociable beings, able to form their own societies.
These fiery creatures are virtually everywhere as long as there is heat, especially normal salamanders. The greatest number of elemental salamanders live in the southern part of the Ninja Galaxy, where they serve the Fire Dragon King.
==In culture==
Legend has it that the salamander produces a kind of wool that is fireproof. It can be spun into cloth and  when it becomes dirty, it must be thrown into a fire, which will consume the dirt without harming the cloth. This cloth is made in the deserts of India, and is worn by important people. This is a good description of asbestos, which some sources link with the salamander.
