Origin
It settled near hot springs and volcanic streams; its skin proteins gradually grew more resistant to high temperatures and chemically aggressive water.
Appearance
A charcoal salamander with a wide head, golden eyes, three orange stripes on its back and four legs with orange soles.

Evolution
Line E-01: Amphibian Adaptation
Axolume is the base form.
- Axolume → Magmander — the geothermal branch. A long life near hot springs and mineral-rich water turns the glowing gills into heat-exchange organs; the skin darkens and becomes heat-resistant.
- Axolume → Olmurk — the cave branch. In cold, total darkness the body lengthens, eyesight fades, and chemical sensing and energy saving matter more than bright bioluminescence.
Axolume is one of the key showcases of the Evolumes idea: a single starting biology can yield opposite forms under the pressure of its environment.
