Bullywugs are ugly little frog-men who live in swamps and have no redeeming qualities at all, whatsoever. They're fat, they smell bad, they have no drive nor ambition, no greater dreams or an empire to speak of, and oh yeah, THEY ARE COMING!!! MILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF BULLYWUGS ARE COMING!!! WHY WON'T ANYBODY LISTEN TO ME?!?!?
As hard as this may be to believe, bullywugs are actually one of the oldest monster races in D&D, stretching all the way back to AD&D 1st edition, created by Gary Gygax for the Fiend Folio. They even were picked as the mook of choice for the D&D cartoon series. Yes, that existed. That said, they've never really been anything more than a froggish take on goblins, being stupid, violent, savage swamp-dwellers with a penchant for human flesh and clumsily worshipping various abominations.
Pathfinder renamed them Boggarts and gave them some more development.
