Origins
One day, SSB20 decided to put "Congrats! You found the salamander!" at the end of the description of Trend Cult. He thought it was a bit random and awkward, and considered changing it.

When he decided to change it, he found out that a Trend Cult manager named Nezon had edited the description to add onto this "salamander", including making bargains, adopting it as the "ritual pet", and adding a salamander at the bottom.

SSB20 had wanted a name for this salamander. He made a studio for deciding the name. The most popular vote was Derek the Salamander, suggested by Mecurey.

Reception
Users tried to edit the salamander, including giving him an eyepatch, burning him, or slicing him. Nezon decided to make a concept of a "safe" for the salamander to dwell in, which was supposed to make it obvious that you shouldn't edit it.

SSB20 accidentally deleted part of the salamander while trying to update the description, so he tried to change it, and it looked odd and different. Nezon fixed it, and made a "safe v100", where Nezon claimed even he couldn't change it. (trying to convince users to stop touching the salamander and let him live in peace)

Forms of Derek the Salamander
As of December 2020, SSB20 added a minor shenanigan. He put the word "bruh" before the word "safe" in "BRUH SAFE v100", and changed the version number to "8675309" to reference Tommy Tutone's hit song in the 80's: "867-5309".

Later, in December 2020, as a part of SSB20 making the Trend of the Day into "Eat a salamander sandwich", SSB20 changed the walls of the salamander's safe into what looked like bread, and changed the written text of the "BAN SAFE" into "sandwich".

After the name Derek was introduced, Nezon converted the safe back into a safe, and named it Derek's safe, Version SSB20 as a joke. They may soon replace it with Mercury as they were the one who had made the name Derek. It was then changed to Dawn by DawnRooney27 for no reason.
