Role In Plot

Stoneheart

The salamanders come to life after George stops to speak to a man in the street. The man cannot see the salamanders move, which confuses George. The taints then start to walk and they chase George to the Royal Artillery Memorial. They arrive at the memorial, and all three of the salamanders are shot and destroyed by the Gunner, after the spit first kills the pterodactyl.
