: Counter target red spell or ability that targets Submerging Salamander.
Created for Challenge # 032. I originally concepted this as an amphibious red lizard, but I realised Salamander is just too close to the concept, so a Salamander it became. More amphibious than most salamanders though.
The Wizards salamanders appear to be fusions between real salamanders and the mythical salamander, such as the ones that appear in D&D and Harry Potter.
I like this design, by the way.
Every time I hear about the mythic version of the salamanders, I think to myself "Geez. Those Europeans needed to get out of the house more. It's just an amphibious lizard... you'd think they wouldn't build a crazy and obsessively wrong mythos around something that could be observed at your local lake." It's a bit like taking a deer and turning it into a firebreathing monster that ate the hearts of men and were responsible for the Fall of the Roman Empire. Oh, hold it. That's the Peryton.
