description

Fey embodiments of swamplands, bullywugs protect the murky wilds and consider themselves cosmically favored for that role. These human-size, toador frog-like creatures have close relationships with the creatures of the swamp.

Bullywug bog sages channel the magic of the swamp to sicken foes and speak with plants.
