The Axolotl is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest IV.
It is an amphibious monster 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.

Trivia
- The axolotl has the distinction of only appearing in remake versions of Dragon Quest 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.[1]
