The '''Axolotl''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest IV}}.

It is an amphibious {{MFamilies}} with tough pink leathery skin with a tall red sail on its back.

==Description==
This awful amphibian likes to disrupt the [[party]] by casting [[Fuddle]]. Thanks to its leathery skin, it is highly resistant to the extreme temperatures produced by [[Frizz]], [[Sizz]], and [[Crack]] spells. Furthermore, it never falls victim to its own spell. [[Fizzle]] out its fun before it fudges yours! In its unused sprite for the {{NES}} version, the Axolotl possessed mossy green skin and a blue tongue.

==Etymology==
An [[Wikipedia:axolotl|axolotl]] is a type of salamander known for pink pigmentation and intricate gill structure.

==Trivia==
*The Axolotl has the distinction of only appearing in remade versions of {{IV}}. It has a sprite and stats in the original {{Famicom}} version of the game, but it cannot be encountered anywhere. It shares this in common with four other seafaring monsters: [[Glugworm]], [[Mangler fish]], [[Maulrus]], and [[Terrornodon]].<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Dragon_Warrior_IV_(NES)#Unused_Sea_Enemies Dragon Warrior IV (NES) on The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>
