Description

Flame salamanders come from the Elemental Plane of Fire. They look like giant snakes, more than 12' long, with dragon-like heads and lizard forelimbs. Their scales are all the colors of flame, red and orange and yellow. A flame salamander is flaming hot, and all non- fire-resistant creatures within 20' of the monster suffer 1d6+1 points of damage per round from the heat. They are immune to damage from any fire or heat attack. Flame salamanders are intelligent; they speak the language of the Plane of Fire, and many will also know Elvish, Common, and/or Dragon.
