Homebrew Gentleman Bullywug Species Details

Bullywug, in general, are thought of as brutish, stupid and all around unpleasant.  Not so for the Gentleman Bullywug.  Gifted with extreme intelligence, this sub-race of Bullywug seems to have made a small world for themselves, filled with industries, garden parties and, in some case, very comfortable row houses.  The life of a Gentleman Bullywug is nothing short of a Victorian daydream.

Even though life is good and manicured for the Gentleman Bullywug, many of the younger spawn dream of adventure and romance.  This causes them to leave home, and seek out daring-do, things their elders would see as most unorthodox, even though the thought had probably crossed their own minds at some point.  Through disapproval and much heartache, young leave their comfortable manors and seek out things unknown.  Or, maybe, they don’t, choosing to live in the house they grow-up in.

Physical Attributes

Having molted green or greyish skin, the Gentleman Bullywug closely resembles the average frog, if only they were bipedal.  Their large heads have bulbous eyes protruding from the face to a small degree, making them look walleyed.  They have webbed hands, and opposable thumbs, so they are able to use normal everyday items, as well as weapon and shields. 

Unlike their more brutish cousins, the Gentleman Bullywug usually stands between one and two and a half feet tall.  They are considered mature at age 22 and live for a full 70 to 90 years old.  They have a general sense of style and seem to favor more dapper apparel.  Waistcoats and top hats are common wear among the older males.  Women tend to adorn themselves in petticoats and corsets covered in frilly bodices with long skirts.  Canes are a common accessory among the well-to-do.
