Salamander: Difference between revisions
(Salamander is briefly mentioned in FE1, and while the page before technically acknowledged that, it was under the impression that it may just a basis for his name in FE4. That is like claiming Naga's name being mentioned in the Archanea games is a just a basis for the character in FE4. With this, Salamander appears in both, and it's a bigger leap in logic to assume the one in Archanea isn't the same as the one in Judgral.) |

Salamander (Japanese: サラマンダー Salamander or サラマンド Salamand) is a character who is briefly mentioned in the background story of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War.
Biography
Archanea
In Chapter 9 of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, the boss Mannu mentions Salamander as Pyrathi's God and wishes for him to ablaze the player's army.[1] Additionally, when Malledus is describing the Manaketes at the end of Chapter 7, he mentions a clan of fire dragons that shares Salamander's name.[2]
Jugdral
Salamander was one of the twelve dragons who empowered the Twelve Crusaders in the Miracle of Dahna; Salamander is said to have taken the form of an old man.[3] It is not known which crusader Salamander gave his power to, though his association with fire makes Fjalar a likely candidate.
Trivia
- In the remakes Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem and Shadow Dragon, any mention of Salamander was cut. In Mystery of the Emblem, the Pyrathi chapter was cut altogether; in Shadow Dragon, the chapter returns, but Mannu does not mention him.
- Tiki draws a parallel between Bantu and Salamander in her Choose Your Legends variant in Fire Emblem Heroes.[4]
- Salamander's title "fire god" (Japanese: 火神) is also the title of the Crusader Fjalar.
- In Japanese, the Salamander who appears before the Twelve Crusaders is referred to as "Salamand" (Japanese: サラマンド), rather than "Salamander" (サラマンダー) like in Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light. Both are known officially as "Salamander" in English.
