Salamander (species)

Salamanders are a race of bipedal amphibians in Magical Starsign. They used to live in the Holy Tree Yggsalad, but were forcibly relocated to Salamander Cave after pirate otters invaded the area.

Physiology
The skin on a salamander's foreheads has earthy markings, and their tails are long with pale brown caudal fins. Male salamanders have puckered red lips and a tuft of red hair at the back of their head and the sides. The males also wear green shorts with blue shoes and have bright blue eyes. The female salamanders have pink hair tied up at the back with strands of hair at the side, clipped up with red beads. Their eye color is orange with three thick, black eyelashes. A skirt of dead grass and a pink bikini top is worn for clothing, and they also wear purple shoes. Instead of possessing scales, salamanders have mucus membranes over their skin. They must keep the mucus as hydrated as possible to stay alive, hence why they habitually "slurp" whilst moistening their bodies.

The naming convention they follow is based on East European cuisine. In the Japanese version, their names are reduplications of two-syllable food words such as Taretare (tare/dipping sauce), Sobasoba (soba/cold noodles), and Yubayuba (yuba/tofu skin).
