Homebrew Climatoads Species Details

Created by the first god Darenoth and placed into the magical playground called the Meadowlands. They were placed specifically in the waters and tasked with defending the marine life within, even those that wouldn't take kindly to it. They adapted to the magical water and herbs and created their own fighting styles and tactics. One such tactic is weather alteration, using the weather to boost their attacks.

With their adapted abilities and tribal approach to life they often seem very conservative but in age groups one or two Climatoads are encouraged to leave and hunt the beasts of the meadowlands or weave themselves into other nearby species. 

Climatoads are frog-like humanoids, thin hips and a triangular torso, their colours vary but all have markings similar to the goliaths ever since their pact with the god of weather, allowing them to tap into them and bend the weather to their will. They live for around 100 years but after 60 hit a very elderly state and struggle with movement, until then they move incredibly swiftly through the water, trees and ground. They cannot breathe underwater indefinitely and instead sleep on floating lily pads that they roll up like sleeping bags to travel with.

Climatoads come in many forms, their markings are created at birth and that decides the weather type that they are best at controlling.

Wind

Wind Climatoads bear whispy markings, curved in shape up their arms and to their heart where a spiral sits. They control things like tornadoes and specialise in knocking back enemies, with large hand movements they harness the winds to every extent.

Lightning

Lightning Climatoads bear jagged, sharp markings, often times zigzags up the arms and ending in a cloud over their heart. They can summon and control lightning, electricity sourced from the sky.

Sun

Sun Climatoads bear broken lines as markings, like that of a map, up their arms and to their heart where a sun sits perfectly. They can use the sun to cause minor mirages and the most powerful of them can bubble the blood inside of their enemies.
