Usually found in arid regions of volcanic activity, a Fyrenewt is perhaps distantly related to wugs or lizard men. A fyrenewt has the general appearance of a man-sized humanoid amphibian of the salamander sort. Rather than slick or slimy, a fyrenewt’s skin is rather rough and sandy in texture and has hues of crimson-tinted browns. Fyrenewts speak their own language.

The typical fyrenewt warrior wears chainmail armor and wields a metal weapon such as a sword or metal-shafted lance. In addition to a weapon attack, the fyrenewt can breathe forth a spray (cone-shaped) of fluid that instantly ignites upon contact with air. This breath weapon is usable no more than once every ten rounds, and causes 2d4 points of damage (or half if a save vs. Dragon Breath succeeds) to any creatures within 10 feet in front of the fyrenewt.
