Homebrew Bullywug Species Details

Bullywugs are froglike humanoids that live in swampy environments. Their life in the swamp is a brutal one, especially when living underneath the rule of a vain king. The only way for bullywugs to survive is to either murder their rivals, which requires that the deed is not discovered, or raiding travelers to pay tribute in the form of treasure to the king. Not all bullywugs can last in this world, and either are banished when they fail to meet the kings expectations, their crimes are discovered, or if they simply wish for a less terrible life. Regardless of what drove them away, a bullywug adventurer will always hold a little place in its froggy heart for treasure and power.
