Astral Salamander

     Astral Salamanders swim through the astral plane, feeding on any creature unlucky enough to cross their path. They sometimes land on a large asteroid and set up a lair there but they usually move on if nothing edible arrives in about a week. These strange creatures feed through thermal holes on their tails, which secrete a substance that liquifies any creature in contact with it, allowing prey to be easily slurped up. Though these creatures can speak through a form of telepathy, it is very hard to understand and just sounds like gurgling, roaring, and static to most creatures.

     Astral salamanders lay slimy, greenish eggs that are usually tucked away out of sight of predators. The eggs feed on magical or psychic energy, so the engines of elemental ships or spell jamming ships, as well as magical power plants, are common choices. In rare cases they will even lay their eggs on the skin of titanic living creatures to feed off of their psychic energy. The eggs hatch in 6d6 days into Astral Salamander Tadpoles, which mature into adults in 2d4 months.
