Giant Salamander

Before the hole
The Giant Salamander is a dinosaur like amphibian that can measure up to 13’ and goes up to 55’7 in length, it mostly leaves from eating fish, but can feed of other animals if the fishing is not going well. They are not usually aggressive except when angry. They don’t like going into dense forest that are hard to navigate for a creature that big. They like relaxing in water, letting only their heads out of the water, they even sleep in water in general. They lay eggs in lakes, between 5’ and 7’ under the surface, and they stay around to protect the babies until they can take care of themselves. Their algoid appendage helps them moving in the sea, with the use of their tale they can go up to 25’ miles an hour, opening their mouths during those peak of speed makes the eating process really easy when the fish density is high. Also  their skin is slick and covered in mucus and each of their pair of eyes have a function, one is for normal sight, one for underwater with protective membrane and the last is to see in the dark. Their cycle of day and night is not linked to any source of light but rather on their need for food, so they can sleep during long periods of time when they ate a lot, and they can live during night as well.

After the hole
As they lived in the center of the island there is just a few specimen that survived the hole. But the survivor now live peaceful lives, over time the absence of need for sustenance made their behavior shift, sleeping most of their life in water. Even letting other animals cuddle with them. When they are awake they just wander around places with a lot of humidity, eventually to come back and take a nap in a stream or beneath a cascade. However, if another species were to damage or even touch their membranes, they can go into an intense rage, stomping, biting and screaming until they recovered. During this process even the other Giant Salamanders do not dare approach. It is a terrifying sight to behold.
