Traits
Fire Aura
At the end of each of the salamander's turns, each creature of the salamander's choice in a 10-foot Emanation originating from the salamander takes 10 (3d6) Fire damage.
The salamander has Advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Actions
Multiattack
The salamander makes two Flame Trident attacks.
Flame Trident
Melee Ranged Attack: +12, reach 5 ft. or range 30/90 ft. Hit: 16 (2d8 + 7) Piercing damage plus 14 (4d6) Fire damage. The trident magically returns to the salamander's hand immediately after a ranged attack.
Inferno Blast (Recharge 5–6)
Dexterity Saving Throw: DC 18, each creature in a 30-foot-radius Sphere centered on a point the salamander can see within 120 feet. Failure: 35 (10d6) Fire damage, and the target starts burning, taking 5 (1d10) Fire damage at the start of each of its turns instead of the normal burning damage. The target gains 1 Exhaustion level whenever it takes this burning damage. Success: Half damage only.
Bonus actions
Blazing Movement
The salamander moves up to its Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks. During this movement, fire fills a 5-foot Emanation originating from the salamander. When the Emanation enters a creature's space, that creature takes 7 (2d6) Fire damage. A creature can take this damage only once per turn.
