Below is a list of all known species of salamanders, descriptions of salamanders and hybrids between salamanders. For the classification and phylogeny of salamanders see Branchia.

## Cell stats

### Speed

It's larval form has three flagellocytes while it's adult form has 4/5.

### Health

It is very large so it has a lot of health.

### Intellegence

It can detect food with it's stereocyte and it controls metamorphosis with it's neurocytes.

### Defence

As an adult only it's tail is vulnerable. As a larva only the middle of it's body is protected.

The Copper Salamander is a species of salamander named after it's copper coloring. It has two distinct life stages. It metamorphoses after it's neurocytes reach a certain mass. Once it's neurocytes reach a certain mass they begin outputting S2 which triggers the stemocyte to transform. If food concentrations are low enough it will stay in it's larval form. It can be forced to metamorphosise early if exposed to S2. It can regenerate it's side limbs. The Copper Salamander is commonly used in research.

## Cell stats

### Speed

It only has 3/2 flagellocytes because it's hind limbs don't develop.

### Health

It is smaller than the copper salamander so it has less health.

### Intellegence

It can detect and swim toward food. It's neurocytes are inactive unless exposed to S3.

### Defence

It has keratinocytes protecting the middle of it's body.

The Axolotl is a species of neotenic salamander which stays in it's larval form except under certain circumstances. In Axolotls the neurocytes which control metamorphosis are only activated by S3 instead of mass causing them to stay as larvae. When exposed to an S3-secreting secrocyte the neurocytes activate causing the activation of the stemocyte which causes the development of the hind limbs. It can also regenerate it's side limbs.

### Evolution

Axolotls most likely evolved from a group of Copper Salamanders that lived in a nutrient poor environment. To save resources they skipped metamorphosis and developed the adult flagellocyte (which makes eggs) instead of the larval flagellocyte first. After no longer needing to metamorphosise anymore the neurocytes through random mutations only activated through S3 instead of mass. Also the first axolotls lived in an environment devoid of predators so they lost their camouflaging colors.

## Olm

### Defence

None

Olms are a small, distantly related species of salamander that have adapted to very low resources. It has a lipocyte in the middle of it's body which allows it to move large distances in search of food. It is capable of finding food that is very far away. Olms have their arms further out than other salamanders so their shoulders aren't crushed. Olms are the longest-lived species of salamander living ten times longer than most. Olm myocytes are an example of Exaptation where it's myocyte was originally for turning it is now used for contraction. Olms are closely related to Mudpuppies.

### Evolution

Olms evolved from a group of proto-mudpuppies that lived in caves. To become more efficient they simplified their body. They also became pale because they lived in lightless environments.

## Siren

### Intellegence

It can steer towards food and move it's body.

### Defence

It has few keratinocytes

Sirens are a species of salamander that can grow indefinitely. It is by far the largest species of salamander. Unlike other salamanders Sirens do not go through metamorphosis instead they just add body segments. Sirens alternate between making eggs and body segments. Sirens are the second longest living species, they live six times longer than most. The largest recorded siren had 65 cells.

Gallipatos are a species of salamander that use side spikes to defend themselves from red predators. Their closest living relative is the Clawed Salamander. When a red predator approaches it's spikes will activate until the threat is gone. It's larvae are born the earliest of all salamanders. Gallipatos spend the second shortest amount of time as larva out of all other salamanders. Gallipatos have huge eggs and larvae. Gallipatos are bigger than most salamanders.

Poisonous Newts are a species of salamander that use HCN to defend themselves. They live in toxic lakes full of HCN which they harvest and use for defense. They seem to be related to the Gallipato, Giant Salamander and the Olm. They are the third largest species. They are one of the only species without any Nitrocytes because breathing the lake water where they live would be a bad idea. Their Nitrocytes have degenerated into lumps of cartilage.

### Evolution

Poisonous newts likely evolved from a group of salamanders that lived near HCN lakes to avoid predators, Eventually they grew immune and they started harvesting it for defence against predators.

Spotted Salamanders are a species of salamander that use photosynthesis while developing. Once they become larva they lose the photocyte. They almost immediately metamorphosise after being born. They are closely related to the Copper Salamander and Axolotl; They are close enough to make functioning hybrids. Spotted Salamanders depend on how much light there is. They live in areas that get a lot of sun.

### Defence

They are fully defended

Blood Salamanders are a species of salamander that are mainly carnivorous. They mostly eat fish but they can eat other salamanders. They find fish and drag them in using their ciliocytes. They are named after their slight crimson color and carnivorous diet. They have completely lost the ability to metamorphosise; even with genetic modification they cannot metamorphosise. The only trace of their metamorphosis is the few remaining metamorphosised cells within their genome.

Frankenstein's Salamander is a species of salamander created by a mad scientist. It was made by taking a Gianipato and splicing it with Blind Salamander and Spotted Salamander DNA. They are extremely efficient and they can quickly take over a petri dish with light. They can lay an egg every second. Their main weakness is their dependency on light. They start laying eggs as soon as they develop and they don't go through metamorphosis. They have stomachs on the side of their face to store food and if they can't find food they will enter a state of dormancy where they will swim aimlessly until they find food. They are extremely dangerous as they can take over an ecosystem very quickly.

Angler Salamanders are a species of salamander which live deep deep underwater. They attract prey with their food-smell-secreting secrocytes. They move very slowly to save energy. They can't go through metamorphosis, even with genetic modification. They are closely related to Blood Salamanders. They can hunt but they are very slow so the prey usually moves away. They typically eat cyan Efficient Smart Swimmers. Similar to Blood Salamanders, a few remaining genes for metamorphosis remain. They are purple to camouflage in the environments they live in, and their side devorocytes are brown to mimic nutrients. Angler Salamanders feast on the Angler Corals deep deep underwater, and avoid stone corals.

Blind Salamanders are a species of salamander that live in caves. Despite their appearance they are not closely related to Olms. They have a few remaining genes for metamorphosis which can be activated through genetic modification. They move slowly to save energy. The caves they live in have slightly more resources than Olm caves. They can be distinguished from olms by their wider body's and shorter tails. Blind Salamanders can develop hind legs through genetic modification. The Hind Limbs are faster than the front limbs. The Hind Limbs are also slightly crooked. Blind Salamanders are wide but have as many cells as an Olm.

The Hellbender is a species of salamander that is closely related to Giant Salamanders. Hellbenders are very flexible because of their many myocytes. Hellbenders evolved recently and are able to hybridize with Giant Salamanders. Hellbenders are brown with patches of orange. Hellbenders live as long as Giant Salamanders. Hellbenders are born with tails so they can quickly collect food. Hellbenders have soft faces that let them crawl into small places. Hellbenders get their name from their color, and similar to some species of coral, they are very muscular (many myocytes).

The Clawed Salamander is a species of salamander that can force spikes out of it's limbs to harm attackers. The Clawed Salamander will only use it's claws as a last resort because they cost a lot of nutrients. The Clawed Salamander is related to the Gallipato. The Clawed Salamander is neotenic meaning it doesn't go through metamorphosis naturally. Only it's tail can be forced to morph giving it three pairs of limbs. Clawed Salamander babies are born under-developed and must find food to grow their bodies.

### Defence

Medium

The Log Salamander is a species of salamander that reproduces sexually. It's method of reproduction is similar to the Gendered Trout where females produce egg gametes and males produce gamete swimmers which go to the egg gamete, then the fertilized egg splits into two gametes that decide the gender of the offspring. In order to gain their method of reproduction, they had to remove their metamorphosis and not waste a single mode. Log Salamander Males are smaller than Females.

The Slimy Newt (also known as the giant axolotl) is a species of newt that secretes a sticky substance. Contact with the substance will cause it to start replicating and draining resources. The Slimy Newt is closely related to the Poisonous Newt. Slimy Newts are neotenic and keep their Nitrocytes. Slimy Newt's are able to grow their hind limbs after being exposed to S2. The Slimy Newt is sometimes called the giant axolotl due to their similar colors.

### Defence

Average-Low

There are two types of hybrids between Copper Salamanders and Axolotls. The hybrids that are neotenic are known as copper axolotls, they are commonly bred to be pets. Hybrids that can go through metamorphosis are known as brass salamanders. Brass salamanders are more common than Copper axolotls because copper axolotls need both axolotl neurocytes while brass salamanders only need one copper salamander neurocyte to go through metamorphosis. Copper Axolotls can sometimes be infertile.

### Olms

Olms and Angel Salamanders can easily hybridize to make Engloms.

Olms can make hybrids with Mudpuppies semi-easily.

Olms have difficulty making hybrids with Proto-Salamanders but it is possible.

There are no hybrids between Olms and other salamanders.

### Sirens

Sirens are too distantly related to make hybrids with other salamanders.

There have been hybrids between Sirens and Finite Sirens but they were almost always infertile.

### Gallipatos

Gallipatos are too distantly related to make hybrids with Copper Salamanders, Axolotls and Spotted Salamanders.

Hybrids between Gallipatos and Olms/Sirens have been more successful with the hybrids having a vaguely salamander shaped head. However the body parts were full of stereocytes and devorocytes.

Hybrids between Gallipatos and Giant Salamanders show a highly developed body but they have no flagellocytes and are infertile thus requiring life support.

### Poisonous Newts

Poisonous Newts are too distantly related to make hybrids with Copper Salamanders, Axolotls, Spotted Salamanders and Sirens.

### Defence

Average-High

Blood Salamander and Copper Salamander/Axolotl/Spotted Salamander hybrids usually devour their own brain but if they survive the resulting hybrid has the title "Bull" e.g Bull Axolotls. The resulting hybrid can suffer from a number of deformities such as infertility and half-head syndrome. If the hybrid can have it's tail metamorphosise it is usually a death sentence because Blood Salamanders are lacking major tail metamorphosis genes so the hybrids get tumors in their tail. If the hybrid has flagellocytes from from each parent the hybrids will swim lopsided because the Blood Salamander flagellocytes are faster. If the hybrid can survive without any deformities it is usually sold as an exotic pet. The hybrids are usually more aggressive than a Standard Salamander. Blood Salamanders hybridize best with Axolotls because they both don't go through metamorphosis. If the Hybrid has the wrong brain for its mouth it will need nutrient injections or help while swimming to guide it to the food it can eat. Numerous ethics boards have denounced the creation of Bull Hybrids as the process requires a lot of Death and Deformities.

Blood Salamanders and any other salamanders are unable to hybridize.

### Frankenstein's Salamander
