'''Salamander''' is a reptilian enemy from the ''[[Final Fantasy (franchise)|Final Fantasy]]'' games. They first appear in ''[[Final Fantasy II]]''. Although Salamanders share a name with their {{wp|salamander|real world counterpart}}, they can breathe [[fire (element)|fire]]. Salamanders often appear as a stronger relative of [[Basilisk]].

==History==
===''Final Fantasy'' series===
====''Final Fantasy II''====
In ''Final Fantasy II'', Salamanders are encountered in the [[world map]] area surrounding [[Mysidia]] (after obtaining the [[Ultima Tome]]), [[Jade Passage]] (floors B1-B3), and [[Arcane Labyrinth]] ([[Cauldron]], [[Giants]]). They are relatives of [[Basilisk]]s, [[Catoblepas]]es, and [[Ice Lizard]]s. Salamanders have one [[enemy ability]], [[Blaze|Blaze XVI]], in which they deal [[Fire (element)|Fire]]-elemental damage to the entire [[party]]. Salamanders are weak to [[Ice]]-elemental attacks. Salamanders have the same basic appearance as Basilisks except for their red skin

In the unreleased [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] prototype, they are named '''R.Lizard'''.

===''Final Fantasy Legend'' series===
====''The Final Fantasy Legend''====
[[File:Lizard TFFL sprite.png|frame|right]]
In ''[[The Final Fantasy Legend]]'', they are named '''LIZARD''', and like other monsters, they can be encountered as either an enemy or be a [[party]] member. As enemies, LIZARDs are only encountered in the [[world map]] area surrounding the [[Tower (The Final Fantasy Legend)|Tower]]'s first floor. Their only usable attack is [[Bite|BITE]], and they are vulnerable to Ice attacks like in ''Final Fantasy II''. LIZARDs have five transformations, in order of: '''P-FROG''', '''GECKO''', '''DINOSAUR''', '''SALAMAND''', and lastly '''BASILISK'''. Both LIZARD and SALAMAND have the Japanese name of "Salamander," albeit with different spellings, although the latter's Japanese name is spelled the same in other ''Final Fantasy'' games. Like other monsters and their respective transformations, LIZARD's sprite is the same throughout all of its forms.

===''Final Fantasy Mystic Quest''===
In ''[[Final Fantasy Mystic Quest]]'', they are named Salamand like in the ''Final Fantasy Legend'' trilogy, but their name is formatted in lowercase. Salamands are only encountered in the [[Lava Dome]], and are the stronger relative of both Basilisks and [[Flazzard]]s. Salamand can use a variety of attacks including [[Flame]], [[Thunder]], [[Poison Breath]], [[Fang]], and [[Claw]]. Salamand retains its vulnerability to Ice attacks, specifically [[Blizzard]].
