Salamanders are versatile, two-handed ranged weapons. Salamanders may be obtained through net trapping and must be fuelled using a variety of herb tars made with the Herblore skill.
When you die or drop a salamander it runs away. In contrast, when a beast of burden holding any salamanders is dismissed or dies, the salamanders are dropped on the ground and can be picked up as items instead.
