Salamander

Salamanders are large neutral mobs that spawn in the Nether.

Appearance
Salamanders are 5 block long orange mobs that also have yellow eyes and teeth. They open their mouth like the Enderdragon.

Behavior
They live by lava pools in large groups basking on the shores. They can also be seen swimming in lava, as they are flame retardant like all Nether mobs. If hit, they will all attack you with a powerful lumbering attack that deals 4-6 hearts of damage. If out of sight, they will let you be. When killed, they drop salamander hide. Salamander hide can be made into fire resistance armor which allows the player to remain in fire or lava for 30 seconds before starting to deal damage. When you start to, it is usually 1 heart per 2 seconds however.
