==Trivia==
*The axolotl has the distinction of only appearing in remake versions of ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. It has a sprite and stats in the original [[Famicom]] version of the game, but it cannot be encountered anywhere. It shares this in common with four other seafaring monsters: [[Glugworm]], [[Mangler fish]], [[Maulrus]], and [[Terrornodon]].<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Dragon_Warrior_IV_(NES)#Unused_Sea_Enemies Dragon Warrior IV (NES) on The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>
