Some of my favorite creatures are the Bullywugs, but unfortunately, they are not SRD, so I decided to make my own version! Unlike the frog-like Bullywugs, these toad-like humanoids do not leap, being broader and heavier. Instead, they use their long, sticky tongues to grapple opponents and reel them in to beat them with their great clubs, turning them into a person-sized game of paddle ball.
