The Black salamander is the strongest salamander and can be caught using the Hunter skill at level 67 Hunter. It requires level 70 Attack, Magic and Ranged to wield, and is 2-handed. Harralander Tar is used as ammunition for the salamander. This weapon is about as fast as a whip.
The black salamander is a possible weapon substitute for the Barrows minigame. The ammunition is cheaper than a cast of Slayer dart. In Barrows, the magic bonus does not affect its use as much, and casting in full rune armour has a similar effect as casting in full mystic robes. It can also be used to range Ahrim the Blighted, however a rune crossbow is better. It is not advised to use the melee option for Karil the Tainted, as a dragon scimitar has higher bonuses.
Salamanders can train ranged, magic and strength.
Warning! The black salamander will NOT appear under your gravestone if you die! This is because it is a live creature, and it will run away.

[edit] Trivia
- The attack speed shown only applies to the Scorch (strength) and Blaze (magic) attack styles. The attack speed of the Black Salamander when using the Flare (ranged) attack style is 6, which is similar in concept to the Rapid style of most ranged weapons.
- Standing still or walking, you will have an older animation to your character.
- Theoretically it is possible to hit 64 using the Black Salamander when combat stats are boosted to level 255 during the While Guthix Sleeps quest.
