Homebrew Bullywug Species Details
Bullywugs are short frog people who have the uncanny ability to speak freely with any amphibians. Often times, you will find them hopping around in swamps and ponds. They are rather mistrusting of outsiders, and can find themselves in conflicts with those just passing by. Usually, they rely more on their high numbers to win encounters than by their own strengths. Bullywugs who find themselves to be adventurers, are almost always orphaned by adventurers who accidentally or purposefully eliminate their leaders, usually froghemoths.
