Salamander

Salamander is the Mana Spirit of fire. He appears as a fiery reptilian creature wielding a spear. Salamander's powers are perhaps the most destructive, sporting attacks like rains of magma, explosions, fireballs, walls of flame, and a weapon enchantment that burns opponents. Despite his reign of destruction, the Fire Elemental has only one beneficial spell in both Seiken Densetsu 3 and Sword of Mana which temporarily boosts the target's attack power.

—Salamander and Hero

Salamander is found in Vinquette Hall, trapped in a Metaball. He is the first spirit to join Hero, and the second to join Heroine (Wisp being her first).

Secret of Mana

Seiken Densetsu 3

Salamander is the sixth Mana Spirit to join the heroes. He resides in the Valley of Flames past the Desert of Scorching Heat. As the heroes approach the Valley of Flames, they encounter resistance in the form of Nevarl's forces, including Bill and Ben, two powerful ninjas. Once in the Valley, the heroes find Bigieu, who is attempting to release the Fire Mana Stone's energy by sacrificing Hawkeye's friend Jessica. Fortunately, Hawkeye (or his feline friend Nikita if Hawkeye is among the heroes) is able to rescue Jessica, forcing Bigieu to sacrifice Bill and Ben instead. Her task complete, Bigieu leaves. After she's gone, Salamander appears and joins the heroes on their quest.

Dawn of Mana

In Dawn of Mana, Salamander is hot-tempered and usually wants to act before thinking. He is skeptical of Gnome's story, and it is hinted that he is just plain belligerent towards Gnome in general. His elemental power involves burning enemies.
