Firesnake

Description and Characteristics

Salamanders hatch from eggs that are two-foot-diameter spheres of smoldering obsidian. When a Salamander is ready to hatch, it melts its way through the egg’s thick shell and emerges as a fire snake.

These snakes vary in size, but most are 4-6ft in length and are covered with plates of glowing stone. Small deep set dark eyes hide between glowing brows and a flame tongue that tastes the air. A fire snake matures into a Salamander adult within a year.

When killed, their bodies cool and turn to stone.

Behavior and Intelligence

Territorial and aggressive, they often hide in tunnels burrowed out of the rock.

Locations in Vestra

Found mostly in caves and underground, these creatures once of the Fire Realm, have found their way to Vestra and prospered, particularly in the Amesgar Mountains.
