• Heated Weapons. Any metal melee weapon the saleerandee wields deals an extra 3 (1d6) fire damage on a hit (included in the attack).

ABOUT

Saleerandees are bipedal reptilian fey covered in shimmering, colorful scales. They stand about three feet tall and have a slender build. Their eyes glow with an inner fire, and they move with agility and grace. Despite their lizard-like appearance, they possess a certain otherworldly beauty.

Saleerandees seek out warmth and fire, making their homes near human fireplaces, blacksmith shops, and campfires. They are particularly drawn to places where flames crackle and dance.

Saleerandees are descendants of elemental beings known as salamanders, and they have a deep affinity for fire. They are known to gather around flames, soaking in the heat to alleviate their natural coldness. Despite their intimidating appearance, they are benevolent creatures, often imparting their knowledge of fire manipulation to those who show them kindness.

Saleerandees are primarily focused on seeking warmth and avoiding conflicts. However, if threatened or provoked, they can defend themselves with their fiery abilities and short swords. In combat, they prefer to use their Hurl Flame ability to attack from a distance, and they can also teleport using Inferno Step to reposition themselves strategically. Their invisibility grants them an advantage in both hunting and avoiding danger.
