In the Froghemoth entry, it specifically calls out that Bullywugs would treat a Froghemoth like a god. Keeping in mind that Grung see themselves "as superior to most other creatures", would a tribe of Grung also worship a Froghemoth in the same way? Or would the Grung's slaving nature have them treating the huge monstrosity like a weapon of war?
This may in fact be more along the temperament of the froghemoth in general. I see the grungs attempting to use it as a weapon of war, mostly because I feel teh grungs are a bit smarter than bullywug (who also worship slaads). However, froghemoths (depenedent on edition and system) are literal engines of wanton destruction, and could quickly become too dangerous for the grungs to wield as a war beast.
Overall I feel they probably won't worship it, but they might rightly fear it.
I think their superiority complex would have them trying to enslave it and either using it as a weapon or (the idea I like more) treating it like Jabba's Rancor. Use it to instill fear among their enemies and their own people. It worked for Jabba...
After eating about a dozen grung and becoming poisoned I can see them trapping one fairly easily.
As folks prior to me have mentioned, the grung would probably use it for fighting or using it as a death sentence.
Alternatively, the grung could be in a scenario where they are unable to kill or capture/tame the froghemoth and instead opt to either try to avoid it or "appease" the beast by feeding it.
