The Salamander is a small fire dwelling lizard that feeds on flames. They are born out of flames, and appear to be blue or red depending on the heat of the flames. They live as long as the flames that spawned them. [1]

The Salamander can survive outside out of the flames that birthed it for up to six hours if fed on pepper. [2] Salamander blood has powerful regenerative and curative properties. Muggle world salamanders are amphibians, not lizards, and have no affinity for fire. It's unknown if Salamanders can shed their skin like Muggle world salamanders.

Salamander

The number six, in runic.

The maximum number of hours a Salamander can survive out of fire is used, in the runic alphabet, to represent the number six. [3]
