Homebrew Koa-Toa Species Details

Resembling something of a cross between, a fish, a toad, and a humanoid, Koa-Toa are oft-confusing, ambitious race of the Underdark.  They were once the mind slaves of the insidious mind flayers, and their servitude to those mad creatures has left them marked with insanity.  While still holding some sense of society and culture, the koa-toa mainly worship the goddess Blibdoolpoolp, a gigantic female human with a crawfish head and claws, but new gods are created every day in the minds of the koa-toa.

So powerful is their belief in the gods they think up that they are granted power through them, though there is some debate that the "false" gods may indeed act as another aspect of Blibdoolpoolp herself.  Koa-Toa are also very gullible and superstitious, but it is difficult to change their mind once it is set up.
