Bullywug

Bullywugs, seen here, often participate in activities of intellectual and spiritual development, honing their minds and bodies, preparing for the day when someone will actually give a shit about them and take them seriously.

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 (where they look more like lizardmen than frogmen). 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.

Bullywugs in 4th Edition

They made their 4e debut in the Monster Manual 2 for 4e, complete with racial profile in the back appendage, and a history portraying them as, literally, left over mistakes by the Primordials in creating life. Nobody would ever play these things, unless they wanted to be an ironic idiot and/or the group punching bag, unless you are a munchkin (in which case you can probably make a damn decent bleak disciple assassin and slit their throats in their sleep), or unless you grab a third-party version. They never had any feat support.Stats:

• Average Height: 5'4" to 6'0"
• Average Weight: 150 to 240 lb.
• Ability Bonuses: +2 to CON and DEX
• Size: Medium
• Vision: Normal
• Languages: Common, Primordial
• Skill Bonuses: +2 Athletics
• Rancid Air: (Poison) Aura 2: Any enemy that spends a healing surge in the aura is weakened until the end of its next turn.

Bullywugs 5e

In 5th Edition, Bullywugs have become a race of Bullying frogs with an Inferiority superiority complex, trying to impress outsiders. They can talk to and are often in company with giant frogs, toads, and other amphibians (although this takes a special Bullywug translator) which they use as pact animals, usually having them sallow and regurgitate game, and for some reason Bullywugs like the taste. There are 3 versions of the Bullywug. The standard bullywug, Bullywug Croaker, and the Bullywug Royal the last 2 appearing in Ghost of Saltmarsh.

The Bullywug Bullywugs can Jump up to 20ft long or 10ft for it's high jump, they can Breath underwater(Somehow), there skin blends in with the the wetlands terrains they live in and they can talk to Toads and Frogs, and possibly other Amphibians with training. They are an good monster for Wetlands and other places are rather Inflexible elsewhere. Croakers Some Bullywugs have the Natural Ability to use Bard magic though Croaks, hence the name. While also having a more powerful bite and stanard Bullywug. Their 2 Bardic abilities are Glaar-pat and Rooooo-glog. Glaar-Pat is a 3 a day ability that deals pysic dmg to any creature of the Croakers choice in 30ft while Rooooo-Glog is a one a gives 10 Temp Hp to any Bullywug that can hear it and is in 30ft of the Croaker. All and all a good Support Monster.
