Salamander

Salamanders are versatile, two-handed ranged weapons. Salamanders may be obtained through net trapping and must be fuelled using a variety of herb tars made with the Herblore skill.

When you die or drop a salamander it runs away. Strangely, when a beast of burden holding any salamanders is dismissed or dies, the salamanders are dropped on the ground and can be picked up as items.

Trivia

 * On the 17 January 2011 patch notes, salamanders had their idle animation stance updated.
 * When moving around, a salamander becomes a one-handed weapon rather than a two-handed one.
 * When Salamanders were first released players would purchase them for 12k to upwards of 65k depending on the tier.
 * There was a glitch where any damage you did (regardless of how much) always showed a critical hit (orange bar). This has now been fixed.
 * When you attack with salamanders, you appear to be pulling their tail.
 * When you are in the combat stance with a salamander, it is similar to holding a gun, or anything similar to that matter.
