Salamander

Salamanders are a specialized species of lizards adapted to swimming. They lack the separate head coloration their land based cousins do and their bodies tend to be one color. They have a sticky tongue and resemble Axolotls, having visible pink gills. They only come in two colors, Chocolate and Vanilla.

They are native to Shoreline, Drainage System and Subterranean.

Underwater Camouflage
Pulling from their white cousin's repertoire, Salamanders can turn almost invisible when underwater and tend to guard underwater pipes. Once they see you near them, they will turn off their camouflage and charge. They tend to be harder to spot as the salivating most lizards do when they see prey is not as visible underwater.

Tongue
Like their terrestrial cousins, Blue and White, Salamanders have a sticky tongue they use to pull in their prey. They will rarely use this underwater, but it tends to be longer than Blue's tongue but shorter than White's.

Combat
Fighting tends to be more difficult with salamanders due to the tendency for them to ambush you in water. First thing that you should do is leave the water as spear and rocks do not work while submerged. After getting the salamander on the ground, treat it like any terrestrial lizard. The tongue will likely come into play when its no longer submerged, but a well aimed rock should dislodge you should manage to stick you with it. From then one, about 2-3 spears should do the job. In Drainage a good strategy is to try and spear it to walls.

Stealth
Sneaking works on land well enough as they tend to have poor eyesight and hearing when not submerged, but in the water it becomes more difficult. Avoid sneaking past one that is swimming, you will not succeed and it will catch you. If you're in drainage, a pop snail will attract its attention, so be wary and also be aware of the snails that litter the ground. In Shoreline, they tend to be on lower ground or in the water, often blocking vital pathways, making sneaking by without them noticing rather difficult.

Evasion
You cannot escape it in the water, especially when diving, as it will catch up very quickly to you. You can however escape it by moving to higher ground. Salamanders are pole climbers, so they cannot go too high up, and their tongue can only reach so far. If caught by the tongue, chances are you willed be pulled quicker since there is no friction to stop it underwater. A well timed jump or rock smack just as its jaws hit you should allow you to stun it or rebound against its jaws for a chance to escape.

Taming
They can be tamed by feeding them 4 times but they often have difficulty reaching shelters.

Trivia

 * Curiously, despite being adapted for aquatic terrain, their code suggests their movement speed in water is only .2, which is a trait shared by Pink, Black, and White lizards. The fastest swim speed in the code is the Red lizard at 1.9 with Green, Blue, and Yellow following in that order. It is worth noting that the rest of these lizard species are particularly bad divers
 * Chocolate and Vanilla Salamanders tend to get aggressive with one another when they meet
