Homebrew Frogfolk Species Details
The Frogfolk, an amphibious species said to be born of the Fey's natural influence upon nature.
Well known for their similarities to their original amphibian ancestors, these slippery creatures utilize their innate aquatic traits to their advantage. Hatching as tadpoles, they grow their arms and legs after about six months. It takes another four years for a Frogfolk juvenile to reach maturity, being recorded to live to a maximum age of roughly fifty years. Age is also an extremely important role in the hierarchy of their villages, with elders being appointed as leaders. The wisdom and subsequent word of said elders is seen as law, and are not to be taken lightly if one wishes to retain good standing with the Frogfolk village.
