Homebrew Frog fairy Species Details

Frog fairies are among the most adorable of the fae. They resemble Grung-like frog creatures, but with the addition of fairy wings that provide them with the ability to fly. Like most fae, they have a natural aptitude for magic. Frog fairies are most often seen near bodies of water, especially ponds and lakes. They tend to form strong family units, with the children often finding homes near their parents. However, it's not uncommon for a frog fairy to be struck with wanderlust that draws it to adventure.

Hidden waterside homes

Frog fairy thrive across a number of climates, with some subraces settling in humid jungles and others thriving in harsh, cold environments. Because they require regular contact with water, they tend to settle around bodies of water, with smaller settlements sometimes surrounding large ponds and bigger villages often found on small lakes. They tend to prefer areas that receive regular rainfall, though there are rumors of a desert-dwelling subrace that primarily lives underground. They tend to be reclusive, with their homes far from larger cities and villages and sometimes employ magic to hide themselves from passersby.

Family ties

From tadpole to flying fae
