Salamander (沙羅曼蛇 Saramanda) is a 1988 OVA mini-series based on Konami’s arcade game Salamander. There were three volumes released on VHS and Laserdisc. The series is not canon however; as the MSX Gradius series states that the events with Gofer take place over a two-hundred year period following the crisis with Zelos and his Salamander Armada. In this mini-series it is revealed that the Bacterians capture sentient life to create leaders for their space armada.
