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 Basilisks, Catoblepases, and Ice Lizards. Salamanders have one enemy ability, Blaze XVI, in which they deal Fire-elemental damage to the entire party. Salamanders are weak to Ice-elemental attacks.

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

Final Fantasy Legend series

The Final Fantasy Legend

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's first floor. Their only usable attack is 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 the same as in other Final Fantasy games.
