[MMII] Frost Salamander | EN World Tabletop RPG News & Reviews

Garnfellow said:

Has this creature ever been updated?

Not according to the Wizards monster index, so the current version would be the one in the Update booklet.

Garnfellow said:

There seems to be something funky in its sizing. It's listed as a Medium creature, but its Space in the 3.5 update is 10 ft.,

That appears to be a mistake that goes back to the 3.0 version that had a space of 5 by 10. It should be 5 by 5 in both versions under normal circumstances.

Garnfellow said:

the advancement line starts at Large,

As far as I recall, that isn't all that rare. Odd, but not unprecedented.

Garnfellow said:

and all of the text describing its tactics seems to indicate a fairly big creature.

The rearing up is pretty bear-like (who also start at Medium), but the bull rushing seems to be a less optimal tactic for a creature with Strength of 11.

Garnfellow said:

Also, should it have the extraplanar subtype?

Not according to the flavor text, which makes it an inhabitant of the Material Plane, much like a white dragon.
