The tribe views the salamander not as a mere creature but as a manifestation of the mountain's spirit—a guardian of fire and earth that both nurtures and challenges their existence.
The Ashen Tribe performs rituals and offerings to honor the Pyroclast Salamander, seeking its favor and protection.

Basic Information
Anatomy
The Pyroclast Salamander, a giant among the elemental beings, exhibits a fiery blend of orange, red, and black across its skin, reminiscent of the flowing lava from which it draws its power. Adorned with naturally formed osteoderms and a flared, fire whip-like tail, this creature is a formidable presence in its volcanic domain.
Its eyes, glowing like hot coals, and the ability to spit molten slag emphasize its dominion over fire and earth. An aura of intense heat surrounds it, manifesting the raw energy of the volcanic landscapes it inhabits.

Dietary Needs and Habits
Predatory by nature, it consumes large creatures and elemental entities, utilizing the geothermal heat for digestion. The consumption of volcanic minerals is crucial for its slag production and the maintenance of its osteoderm armor.
Behaviour
As a nocturnal predator, the Pyroclast Salamander roams the heated grounds of Mount Pyraflame, feeding on the giant fauna that share its environment. Its diet is supplemented by the rich minerals present in the volcanic ash, essential for maintaining its robust physique and elemental abilities.
Sleep Pattern: The Pyroclast Salamander follows a polyphasic sleep cycle, resting during the cooler hours to conserve energy and remain alert to the dangers and opportunities of its fiery world.
