Mojang knew that wild axolotls existed, hence the file name of the brown one being axolotl_wild.png. But they ignored that they were actually green. In honor of a real green axolotl with five gills, I made him for Minecraft. cute little fellow, isn't he? Sometimes axolotls are born with small defects that do not harm them, but make them look weird. I was looking at pictures of axolotls for sale and saw one with five gills and thought he was cute.
