Salamander

The salamander is a small fire dwelling lizard that feeds on flames. They are born out of flames, specifically called salamander fires, and appear to be blue or red depending on the heat of the flames .They live as long as the flames that spawned them .
The salamander can survive outside out of the flames that birthed it for up to six hours if fed on pepper. Salamander blood has powerful regenerative and curative properties. Muggle world salamanders are amphibians, not lizards, and have no affinity for fire . It's unknown if salamanders can shed their skin like Muggle world salamanders .
There are different types of salamanders, such as the blue and the scarlet variety .
The maximum number of hours a salamander can survive out of fire and the amount of legs most salamanders have is used in the runic alphabet to represent the number six .
Scale rot is an illness that can affect both salamanders and dragons. In 1996, Hagrid mentioned that he needed to rub more chili powder on a couple of salamanders that had scale rot. If left untreated, it can cause a salamander's tail to detach .
There also exists a variant species called the Frost Salamander that instead of dwelling in fire is closely associated with ice . This type of Salamanders are also used to the Undines as protectors of the underwater treasures .
