The Hellbender? Sounds like the vengeful spirit of a Firelord determined to seek revenge on the Avatar.

Capable of growing nearly 6 feet in length (1.8 meters) and living as long as your grandparents, the mighty Chinese giant salamander once had the world at its wet, stubby feet. It’s a “living fossil,” having seen the dinosaurs come and go, and it is currently the largest amphibian on the planet.
Chinese giant salamanders are one of three known “giant” types, all of which diverged from other amphibians during the Jurassic Period (about 170 million years ago). The Japanese giant salamander is a bit smaller than its Chinese counterpart, while North America’s largest salamander, the hellbender, may reach 28 inches (70 centimeters) in length. These three giants make up the family Cryptobranchidae.
Sleek and mysterious, this creature lives underwater yet does not have gills-it absorbs oxygen through its skin! The Chinese giant salamander is a flagship species for China’s freshwater river ecosystems. Despite its “giant” status, this salamander is now critically endangered due to over-harvesting for human consumption, as well as habitat loss and water pollution.
Revered for thousands of years, and later feared and avoided-which wasn’t too difficult, given their penchant for fast-running mountain streams-its luck ran out in the 1970s when a market grew for “exotic” giant salamander meat, accompanied by an uptick for use in traditional remedies. This led to thousands of Chinese giant salamander farms cropping up around the country-and some salamanders sell for more than $1,500 each!
In a study published in the journal Current Biology, scientists traced the genetics of 1,100 giant salamanders and discovered that they were more evolutionarily distinct than previously thought. The results suggest that there could be at least five distinct giant salamanders that developed independently in isolated locations over millions of years.
So, while it may seem that that populations bred in human care may save the salamander, the opposite is true. These salamanders are still poached from rivers with impunity to stock farms, and China’s Ministry of Agriculture supports the reintroduction of farmed salamanders back into waterways. Though the reintroductions are well-intentioned, these individuals are often fully hybridized at the farms and may carry diseases such as ranavirus, spelling disaster for authentic genetic lineages within the five possible species.

I wonder if you can have one as a pet.
Just wondering. 🤔🤔🤔

[@Eskapismus]

Nope, it's an endangered species.
