Homebrew Bullywug - Black Ashe Swamp Species Details

Bullywugs have green, gray, or mottled yellow skin that shifts through shades of gray, green, and brown, allowing them to blend in with their surroundings. They wear armor and wield weapons, and can deliver a powerful bite or tongue attack depending on the tools they were given at birth.

There are two known types of Bullywugs in exsistance; the "Bullywug" is the norm for the race.  Normally these Bullywugs lead a tribal shamanistic lifestyle where survival is an every day routine. The "Royal Bullywug" once called "Advanced" has a risen to different level of awareness this is due to a hightened intelligence.  Many believe the "Royal Bullywug" came into exsistance after standard Bullywugs began dealing with more civilized races.

Bullywugs are eager to go to war over territory and pray that they get the chance to take on other clans of Bullwugs, especially clans of the two Bullywug types.

Bullywugs love nothing more than interrigate those who trespass on their territories. Their warriors attempt to capture intruders rather than simply slaying them

Bullywugs speak a language that allows them to communicate over large areas by croaking like frogs. News of intruders or other events in the swamp spread within minutes across this crude communication system.

Simple concepts in the language are understandable to frogs and toads. Bullywugs use this capability to form strong bonds with giant frogs, which they train as guardians and hunters. Larger specimens are sometimes used as mounts as well. The frogs’ ability to swallow creatures whole provides a bullywug hunting band an easy means of carrying prey back to their villages.
