Homebrew Bullywug Species Details

Bullywugs are amphibian humanoids with the head of frogs, about the size of humans, with typically leathery, green or gray-mottled skin, and webbed digits. Their tongues are so large they almost prevent them from being capable of speaking common, typically speaking in a garbled broken form of it.

Bullywugs are renowned for both their camouflage and incredible jumping abilities. A bullywug can comfortably survive on land and in water, one of the few water-breathing species that is amphibious.

Bullywugs live in primitive, semi-organized communities that hunt and fish together. The hierarchy is based on strength, with respect and leadership given to the strongest individuals. They are territorial creatures who attack just about anyone who trespasses. Oddly enough, they tend not to fight within the tribe, but will fight with rival tribes.
