Physical Details

  This tiny little creature is a hot little fellow, to say the least. A difference between males and females is not noticed so it is assumed that there is not much if any difference between the two. The newt only gets to around 2 inches in length not counting the tail and with the tail, it can reach around 4 inches in length. Often these tails are removed for a few reasons, but they do grow back over time. The weight of this newt is often around the 2 to the 3-ounce range. A thought of rolling magma comes to mind when thinking of this tiny little troublemaker. Yet, when it's moving it also resembles the burning coals of a forge or a fire. The majority of the creature’s skin is covered in ash gray or ash black colored skin. The left and right sides of these creatures have 2 thin lines of bright orange that start just after the head and reach the end of the tail. The center of this creature is flame kissed with a bright red wide stripe with a smaller yellow stripe in the center of that. If one looks really close an even thinner bright blue stripe can be seen as well. An open mouth of this creature would show a sight akin to a bellowing forge. The eyes of this creature are also flamed kiss. The most distinguishing feature of this creature is the flames produced by the ones that still have their tales. It is the only creature of any kind to be this sort of burned.

Suggested Environments

Preferred Habitat

  This elemental newt finds its home in the mild islands of most of the realms. This area is hot summers and large rainfall during the winders. Most of these islands are home to rather short mountain tops with thick vegetation at the base. In addition, these islands are prone to volcanic activity as the mountains tend to a variety of volcanoes called cinder cones.
