Salamandridae (Goldfuss, 1820) Newts and Salamanders (true salamanders)
Fire salamanders are often regarded as typical salamanders, in that they are of average size (around 8 inches long) and proportion, colorful, toxic, and possess four normal limbs, and a tail.
The true salamanders portray limited sexual dimorphism, usually in the form of swollen cloaca (in males), and laterally compressed tail on those that reproduce in the water.

Salamander has a silly accent, wears a costume that makes him seem just as eccentric as the Doctor, and is a megalomaniac psychopath; despite this, he never seems fatuous.
His seeming loyalty to Salamander early on is misleading; he is simply determined to do his job properly and to the best of his abilities, and his job is to protect Salamander in the absence of evidence that he has committed a crime.
Kent’s true nature is signposted; early on he arranges for Bruce to call in on him, forcing the Doctor to impersonate Salamander on the spot, which is a risky gambit considering the importance Kent places on the opportunity presented by the Doctor.

Since all cave using salamander species are lungless, and breathe through their skin, they require moist, damp places in which to forage and dwell.
Strangest of all Missouri cave salamanders are the grotto salamanders.

Lifeforce followed soon after Salamander (we're talking about Japanese versions mind you) and is really just a tweaked-up version of the first game, featuring slightly more colorful graphics, much higher difficulty and... brace yourselves... Gradius' powerup buying system. Noooo!
What foul, heartless fiend could have done such a thing? To weigh down Salamander's fast, heady shooting with that damnable system that forces you to devote half your attention to counting your collected credits so you can buy equipment necessary just to make your feeble ship playable--devil's work, I tell you!
Fortunately, Salamander's true sequel, Salamander 2, released a whopping ten years after the original, casts off the hateful buying system, triumphantly restoring the game to fast shooting freedom. With gorgeous backgrounds, fast action and crisp sound effects, Salamander 2 has everything going for it--while it lasts.

I don't believe these salamanders are doing anything naughty; I think they were just conveniently piled up in the same spot under the log.
