Homebrew Frogfolk (Anuran) Species Details

The Frogfolk, known as the Anurans, are an amphibious species that dwell in the swamps, marshes, and dense rainforests of many forgotten and remote regions of the world. They are humanoid in form but bear many physical characteristics of frogs: smooth, often brightly colored or camouflaged skin, large eyes, and long, agile limbs perfect for navigating their wet and treacherous habitats.

The Anurans live in close harmony with the natural world, and their culture is built around the cyclical patterns of water, weather, and the balance between life and death. They are masters of both shamanistic magic and herbalism, drawing upon the power of nature and the spirits of the wetlands to sustain their tribes. Frogfolk are generally small, standing between 3 to 4 feet tall, but their agility and cunning make them formidable in their own right
