You might expect to see our next bizarre beast in a pond, bog, puddle, wetlands, or even under a nice moist rock or log. If that’s the case, you’ll be looking in all the wrong places because this amphibian can live hundreds of feet above ground.

Abelle's main source of inspiration for these pin designs stems from the gold speckers that cover a Wandering salamander’s scales. To them, the spots almost resemble stars in a galaxy, and they wanted to represent that in the final design.
