Videogames 'Fortnite,' 'Minecraft' Catapult Smiley Salamander to Global Fame
A global audience of a half-billion gamers have gotten to know the axolotl, which largely cluster in the canals around Mexico City and look like little dragons with a goofy smile. The videogame "Fortnite" trotted out axolotl characters in 2020, and "Minecraft" followed suit last summer. Roblox, a platform with millions of user-made games, has dozens of axolotl-centric ones, including "Axolotl Tycoon" and "Axolotl Paradise." Axolotls appear in "Adopt Me!," one of the most-played games on Roblox. All of the exposure has spawned axolotl memes, YouTube videos, coloring books and nonfungible tokens.
