Bullywug Bullywugs are froglike humanoid creatures . Description . Bullywugs are described as humanoids with the head of frogs . They are usually shorter than a human , with leathery skin and webbed digits . They are very good jumpers , and can jump roughly 30 feet forward and 15 feet vertically . Bullywugs speak their own language of croaks , staccato notes , and clicks , called Bullywi , and the intelligent ones pick up Aquan , Sylvan , or Infernal . The average bullywug is smaller than a human , about the size of a halfling . A bullywug can survive on land and in water ; it is one of the water - breathing species and is amphibious . A bullywug must immerse itself in water once per day or suffer dehydration . Society . Bullywugs live in primitive groups , hunting and fishing together . The hierarchy is based on strength , with the strongest being the leaders . Bullywugs are very territorial , and mostly will attack anyone who trespasses . Oddly enough , they tend not to fight within the tribe , but rival bullywug tribes will fight with each other . Bullywugs rarely work alongside other creatures since they would rather use them for food or sacrifice . However , occasionally during hard times small groups of bullywugs will latch onto a powerful ally that can help them bring down tougher game . Bullywugs live in semi - organized communities that are often slightly mobile . They respect no one but those stronger than they are . Bullywug colonies disrupt the natural environment of any land . They will eat off the land until their immense gullets are filled and then they move on . Bullywugs are known to revere a god named Ramenos , but this deity seems to be more concerned with sleeping than with the welfare of his race . Ancient , crumbling statues of Ramenos can be found in the deepest jungles , great monuments near ruined temples that hint at what was once a mighty deity in some long forgotten time . The great old temples also indicate a time when Bullywugs were less primitive and more organized , capable of building huge monuments of stone . A particular point of interest involving the species was discovered by Brother Twick of Verdusk , a halfling cleric of Chauntea . It seems that bullywugs are irresistibly drawn to ale and either die or lapse into a coma when they drink it ( depending on the amount consumed ) . Bullywug attacks have become increasingly rare in the lands surrounding the marshes where bullywugs live since those settlements have started keeping a keg of ale ready simply in preparation for attacks from the creatures . Bullywugs revered a creature known as froghemoth s . If a bullywug tribe came across one , they would attempt to lure it to their den , paying tribute in the form of food and protection . The froghemoth would kill and eat a number of bullywugs before they could successfully communicate their intentions . They would also protect and raise any eggs the froghemoths hatched , which was good , as froghemoths tended to eat their eggs in the wild . Organization . A grouping of four bullywugs was known as a " pod " . A pair of pods was called a " float " , and between two and six floats made up a " pond " of bullywugs .
