Homebrew Bullywug Species Details

Bullywugs are a primitive race of frog-like humanoids found throughout bogs and marshes, the self-proclaimed lords of the swamp. 

Bullywugs are amphibious humanoids with webbed digits that stand between 5′4″‒6′ and weigh 150​ to ​240 pounds on average, although they can vary in body type from 4​ to ​7 feet and 100​ to ​300 pounds.

Their hides are smooth and reasonably tough, with mottled coloration ranging from emerald or olive green, yellow, brown, and gray. Bullywug skin is chameleon-like, so if they remain motionless in swampy terrain, they will shift through different hues and shades of their normal color range to match their surroundings.

The huge heads of bullywugs resembled those of frogs, with big, bulbous eyes, wide mouths, and long, flicking tongues.
