They will hunt for and eat bugs, fungi, and other plant life while avoiding larger creatures as they grow. It takes three years to reach their maximum size. Furthermore, it takes them around a year and a half to fully acquire their fire breath. They will start with heated air and work their way up to flames.

Salamander's have excellent vision that can see in the ultraviolet spectrum and thermal legacy far away, and they even have some extremely amazing night vision.
