The War Salamander is one of only two amphibious units in the game (the other being the Azure Dragon. Due to being able to fight on both land and water, it can fulfill multiple purposes. Not only can they be used to boost the already strong Chinese Navy, they can also be used to harass on water maps. Its strong attack and durability make it one of the stronger myth units in the game, for a very reasonable price.

Scientific name -- Andrias davidianus Size -- Up to 6 feet long Diet -- fish, crabs, shrimp, and insects

''Arguably the largest amphibian, the War Salamander is a giant-headed creature with tiny eyes and the strength of a bear. Its sight is not its greatest asset, but the creature is covered in sensory nodes that enable it to sense even the gentlest tremors. And while the Salamander is capable of inflicting a lot of damage, it mostly sticks to fish and insects for food.''

In ancient China, the creature adopted a nickname "infant fish" due to its cries strongly resembling a weeping child.
