Creatures of Middle-earth: the Salamander in LotRO: Shadows of Angmar |
Ó
More J.R.R. Tolkien lore heading for you in this The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar creature feature update, and this time it's about the dragon's slightly less imposing but otherwise still formidable cousin, the Salamander. Let's get up to speed with how these fire-breathing lizards came about, and how much of a threat they are in Middle-earth.
It seems, at the time when the rings of power were all the rage in Middle-earth, the bloodline of dragons had already started to flow thin, with the once-mighty brood of flying monsters of unmatched power and fury now spawning simpler and weaker breeds. From the mighty dragons of color, now rise the semi-intelligent drake, the not-so-intelligent worm, and the in-between salamander.
Also known as efts, salamanders still resemble their flying cousins, but lack the wings to take flight, nor the fearsome tail to whip it good with. Even with these disadvantages, however, the salamander is still a force to be reckoned with, having retained the dragon's trademark ability of breathing fire. Adventurers should do well to take caution while exploring remote locations, such as the untamed region of Evendim - for they may just get a faceful of Salamander breath when they least expect it.
This begs the question, however - will there still be dragons in Turbine Inc.'s The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar? Here's hoping so; after all, no MMORPG is complete without a dragon!
