Homebrew Bullywug Species Details

Bullywugs were amphibian humanoids with the head of frogs, about the size of humans, with leathery, green or gray-mottled skin, and webbed digits. Their tongues were so large they almost prevented them from being capable of speaking common.

They were renowned for both their camouflage and incredible jumping abilities, capable of leaping roughly 30 ft in length and springing 20 ft in height. Bullywugs spoke their own language of croaks, staccato notes, and clicks, called bullywug.  A bullywug could comfortably survive on land and in water, one of the few water-breathing species that was amphibious.

Bullywugs lived in primitive, semi-organized communities that hunted and fished together. The hierarchy was based on strength, with respect and leadership given to the strongest individuals. They were territorial creatures who attacked just about anyone who trespassed. Oddly enough, they tended not to fight within the tribe, but would fight with rival tribes.

Bullywug ponds would often migrate, in their constant search for more territory and food, and move on too rapidly to leave behind any items that reflected their "culture". They used simple weapons like halfspears and as a point of pride, wore at least leather armor despite the extra strain it put on their ability to swim.
