## Traits

***Heated Body.*** A creature that touches the salamander or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 7 (`2d6`) fire damage.

***Heated Weapons.*** Any metal melee weapon the salamander wields deals an extra 3 (`1d6`) fire damage on a hit (included in the attack).

## Actions

***Multiattack.*** The salamander makes two attacks: one with its spear and one with its tail.

***Spear.*** *Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack:* +7 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. *Hit:* 11 (`2d6 + 4`) piercing damage, or 13 (`2d8 + 4`) piercing damage if used with two hands to make a melee attack, plus 3 (`1d6`) fire damage.

***Tail.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. *Hit:* 11 (`2d6 + 4`) bludgeoning damage plus 7 (`2d6`) fire damage, and the target is [grappled](rules/conditions.md#grappled) (escape DC 14). Until this grapple ends, the target is [restrained](rules/conditions.md#restrained), the salamander can automatically hit the target with its tail, and the salamander can't make tail attacks against other targets.
