== Description==
===Physical Appearance===
Fire Salamanders look like their non-magical counterparts, though the coloring of their body always stays within the range of warm colors such as red, orange, and yellow. Golden or yellow blotches are speckled all over their backs, reminiscent of stars.
=== Behavior===
They share many behavioral traits with normal Fire Salamanders, prone to getting mixed up by Humans and uninformed Supernaturals, but can be identified when spotted doing thing natural to the magical beasts; like being seen in their natural habitat of fire and fire areas. 
Fire Salamanders are born when an area has set on fire multiple times in the same place. Due to being sensitive to the cold, their birth, and habitats being uncommon to find, Fire Salamanders are rarely seen unless there is a heavy rain shower. From October through March, they hibernate inside and under rotting logs, sometimes people getting surprised by finding one if they unknowingly taken in an occupied log. Their diet consists of only fire, where they also replenish themselves in many ways, such as regeneration and healing.
==History==
Fire Salamanders have been used as symbols and family crests for centuries, used for their symbolism of passion and fire. Due to being an uncommon sight, their assumed rarity and some encounters with the small beasts inspired awe in the Supernatural community.
If they didn’t have magic or know someone with magic that could do that for them, Supernaturals have used Fire Salamanders in many ways in the past to gain an immunity to fire; though this was rare as pyromancy is a commonly used form of magic and supernatural animal activists protesting harm against the creatures; some people have died from incidents involving Fire Salamanders.
