<< This raises some interesting psychological questions about playing amphibians or fish. If Newtlings come from the amphibian tradition of dumping thousands of eggs and then it's every one for themselves how does that affect your personality and colour your interaction with other species? [snip]  

 There again, the bunch from the Rainbow Mounds, near Apple Lane, appear to  look after their young and worship their ancestors (assuming the Great Newt  is the proto-newt). >>

      This could be reconciled if they give birth to live young, as fire salamanders do (among others). It was once claimed that Ducks don't lay eggs, although this was subsequently Gregged and/or Sandied IIRC - at least there's precendent for this among amphibians!

Forward the glorious Red Army!
