Drakefang Salamander - I

"What the hell is that ugly thing?!" Leonhardt shouted before hopping onto the embankment, grabbing Asuka and flinging her onto the grass behind him. 

The beast's dark red eyes narrowed with an eerie bloodshot glare. 

Shaa!

A massive, four-legged salamander covered in gleaming, obsidian-black scales thick and glistening with moisture. Its underbelly glowed faintly with ember-like veins, transferring the searing flames through its body, a remnant of its draconic heritage. 

With sharp, jagged spines running down its back and a maw filled with sharp, dagger-like fangs that dripped with hot, bubbling saliva that sizzled upon contact with the lake.

"What is a Drakefang Salamander doing here?" Asuka gasped, fastening her belt and grabbing her sword, hastily preparing to fight the beast.

"Hm? Is that something dangerous?" 

"They are an upper C-Rank monster."
