Some sources say that Gilbert Stuart was the artist who drew the claws and wings on the district map, to turn it into a beast. I have no idea how accurate that attribution may be.
Also, an older meaning for "salamander" was "a mythical lizard-like creature said to live in fire" or "an elemental spirit living in fire". That may be why this artist's creature had wings, unlike the salamanders we know today.
