Homebrew Firenewt Species Details

Originally from the Elemental Plane of Fire, firenewts can be found near hot springs and volcanoes. These amphibians need hot water to live, becoming sluggish after spending a week away from a source of moist heat. Firenewts therefore delve for sources of heat in the earth, and a firenewt lake features a network of channels and sluices to circulate hot liquid through the area.
