So what is the premise of the game?   Similar to Angry Birds in that the 
Pigs have stolen the Bird's eggs and the Birds are fighting to get back 
at the Pigs.

But for a Newt the enemy would either be a Garter Snake or Leech.  I 
think the leech would be a good enemy because you can draw them as dumb 
looking with large buck teeth.  ;)

The rest could play like Angry Birds, smashing through walls and 
windows, and stone.   You could have various Newts too...

This from Wiki...

    * /Pleurodeles <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleurodeles>/, ribbed newts
    * /Taricha <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taricha>/, Pacific newts
    * /Triturus <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triturus>/, crested newts
    * /Tylototriton <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tylototriton>/,
      crocodile newts

You could have the basic Newts above, but give them some special kind of 
smashing power.  The Frebelly Newts could do a type of fire damage (good 
against wood) or not give a fire attack, but just make them like the 
triangle wood smashing birds.   The Ribbed newt could be a stronger or 
bigger Newt good for smashing more items, etc.  The Small bodied Newt 
(or a small Newt) could be used like the little bird that you can 
activate and actually hits as three birds.

The Paddle Tail Newt could be your boomerang bird type.  ;)

Just some brainstorming.  I think going with this on a Newt idea would 
be fun.
