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.

Muhtoud

Muhtouds are a primitive race of toad-like humanoids that dwell in the swamps and jungles of Astaria. They are most commonly found in ancient temples and ruins that they have claimed for themselves. While the Muhtouds have little in the way of civilization, they adhere to a strict caste system in which the shamans hold supreme power over the warriors and peasants.

Standing between 4’10” - 5’6”, Muhtouds are broader than they are tall. They weigh between 175 to 300 pounds on average. Their thick, bumpy hides are tough, ranging in mottled coloration from brown, yellow, dark green, and red.

Greedy Explorers. Muhtouds respect for strength and power is only overshadowed by their immense greed. The amphibians are often in conflict with other tribes over control of resources or dungeons to plunder. This often finds them meddling with forces far beyond their understanding.

Amphibious Warriors. Muhtouds are adept at fighting on land and underwater. While typically found in bogs and marshes, there have been reports of some Muhtoud tribes that have taken to the seas.

Tribal Castes. While the Muhtoud shamans hold ultimate leadership authority, the warrior caste makes up the majority of the tribes. Even the weakest Muhtoud is capable of fighting in defense of the tribe.
