Sanshōuo

is a puppet, originally created by Sasori, but passed onto Kankurō. Unlike Kankurō's other puppets, Salamander stays true to its name and resembles a salamander. Its abilities are unseen in the manga, but in the anime, Salamander is shown to have incredible defensive power. It has a frill that swings up to defend against attacks from the front as well as the tail being able to tuck up to reach the frill and guard the rear followed by an iron cloak immediately covering all sides, and a hollow body Kankurō and up to two other people can take cover in to defend against attacks coming from other directions. Unfortunately, its weak point is the side joint of the frill, which when struck will knock the shield off, rendering it defenseless. It can also spit fire in video games.
