newts
Small aquatic salamanders
Newts are small amphibians related to salamanders, with slender bodies, short legs, and long tails.
They live in or near water and have moist, often brightly colored skin.
The pond was full of newts.
In figurative use, newt sometimes suggests something small and slippery, or appears in whimsical contexts—witches' brews famously call for eye of newt.
