Homebrew Frog-folk Species Details

Frog-folk spawned out of a combination of experimental science and rudimentary magic. Halflings, Gnomes and Humans specializing in artificer and wizard studies came together to advance the intelligence of animal life. And wouldn't you know it-their first animal test subjects, were frogs. Through strenuous study and practice, the group managed to grant 2 frogs human-level intelligence. The frogs quickly grew to 3 feet tall and began learning common, manners, eating various foods and reading. Soon, the frogs mated and spawned dozens of tadpoles that naturally grew into intelligent frog-folk. Some of them asked their wizard masters to study the arcane arts, and others befriended fighters and paladins, learning the ways of martial combat. The group of artificers and wizards celebrated their achievement and naturally fit in well with the frog-folk, even planned a getaway vacation for themselves. But the group of artificers and wizards  never returned, leaving the frog-folk and many to wonder; did they simply go missing? Or did they recreate the experiment on an animal species that became barbaric and killed them? Many questions remain, but some believe the latter.
