salamanders

Salamanders are a race of amphibians that look like lizards. At first glance, Scarterra salamanders are not that different from real world earth salamanders. They come in a wide variety of colors and sizes and can be found all over the world.
Salamanders are famous for their ability to regenerate lost tails and lost limbs, a few of the brightly colored salamanders are poisonous, but Scarterran salamanders don't really have any special abilities that make them stand out apart from the regeneration (which is pretty slow compared to the regeneration of some magic beasts.)
But we are talking about salamanders in the mortal plane. The real of Fae Home has it's own type of Sprite Salamanders that greatly resemble ordinary salamanders. the Sprite salamanders are disturbingly adept at finding temporary connections between the Fae and Mortal realms.
These sprite salamanders do have exotic magic powers but they look more or less like ordinary salamanders most of the time, but they reflexively trigger terrifying supernatural power when spooked.
That salamander sunning itself on the rock is probably and ordinary ampibian, but you are never 100% sure.
This has led to a wide variety of (justiably) superstitions and fears surrounding salamanders.
