Suggestion

Common Name:Ainsworth's Salamanders

Scientific name:Plethodon ainsworthi

Time:1900s?

Diet: carnivore

Temperament: neutral (aggressive when in water)

Abilities

The Ainsworth's Salamander can be seen attacking by either biting and swinging it's tail that can give huge knockback to small creature and slowing down larger creature,it also have abilities that's already been documented in the mythical island such as climbing walls similar to the megalania, It also able to go on a "stealth mode" where it spread it's legs until the stomach hit the ground to be able to sneak around creatures with aggressive temperament with the cost of it's speed ,however it does have some abilities that hasn't even being seen even by the fantasy creatures

Mouth Holder 

Well this is new,as the ability name suggest it uses it's mouth to hold stuff such as creatures up to the size of a raptor (which it can swallow to heal 60% faster when hurt) and both enemy and friendly players, however it can also effectively hold eggs, and big ones too, and somehow similar to the oviraptor when the salamander put an egg up it's mouth the group of the specific egg's creature won't be aggravated which sometimes makes it great to get wyverns eggs

Oil Skin

For some reason the salamander's skin can be washed with oil and it won't even bother to it, infact it can use it for it own advantage,the oil skin makes it more slippery which cause it's speed to be increased even while in stealth mode, infact some survivor have been seen sliding down hills with these giant salamander washed in oil for fun and if you seen one do it you can't blame why,they can be washed away with waters from ponds and the ocean,they also have another use which is for the next "ability"

Amber Rage

When washed with oil, there will be a hot bar about"Amber Rage", the amber rage has a percentage that increase when you're in a hot area such as the plain old desert or the wyverns nesting place in the blazing mountain,the percentage increase faster the hotter the place is, however when attacked by a fire inducing attack such as flame arrow,flamethrower,etc, the percentage will instantly reach 100%, and when the percentage reach 100% either from the hot location or attackers,the Salamander will reach a state called "Surtr"

Surtr 

Surtr is the state when the salamander gets so hot the oil around it's skin goes aflame,for some reason the fire it produce is even hotter than any of the wyverns breath temperature COMBINED, so much so that riders often times burn to death from it's flames, which is how it was named "surtr" referencing to the fire giant that causes Ragnarok in Norse mythology,even if you're a few meters away your body can still catch up on flames,however the salamander surprisingly doesn't have or get any effect from the blaze other than stamina lost, because of its insane temperature survivors have used it to destroy structure from your little tiny Thatch building all the way to the industrial metal one just by sending their salamander close to the base, even on the face of death the fire still rages on 

Taming Method 

These Salamander's are found on the large river in the bottom side of the map in the desert, while it's impossible to forcefully tame the adults salamander you can get their eggs however they're not just randomly placed somewhere in the river or behind structures, they're located inside the salamander mouth, note that only females hold the eggs while males doesn't hold anything, getting the egg from it's mouth is rather simple but will take some time, because of the abundance of eggs in their mouth sometimes when they go hunting for fish in the night some eggs will fall out of its mouth for you to receive, however most of the eggs are unfertilized meaning you might need wait to get a fertilized one,just be careful not actually being in the salamander's mouth, the eggs can only survive and hatch in the water and baby salamander until juvenile can only live on the water 

Weakness 

Of course with strong abilities comes it draw backs,when in the state "surtr" the fire can be instantly stop by an ice wyverns breath attack,infact ice wyverns are the true counter for the Raging fire lord, it will be one of the only creature who won't catch on fire being close to the salamander when in surtr state and just by being next to it it can reduce the fire's damage,cold environment wouldn't let the salamander go to surtr mode, and already said before,the surtr state can be both helpful to raid bases or disastrous by killing your tribemates that's close to it, there's also a temporary weakness for the salamander,chitin armor, because of its high density of hydrogen bond it can't be melted therefore it can Temporary protect you from the salamander's blaze before it eventually does cooked you alive inside the armor

Reasons I choose the creature 

Amphibians in Ark aren't really that abundance,the only ones we have are diplocaulus and beezelbuffo,while both can be useful at times needed they aren't really much of a use in other times, and also I think the ice wyvern deserve a use at least since it's one of my favorites wyverns because of is design yet the other wyverns are much better to use than it, so this creature may or may not increase the people usage for ice wyverns.
