Bullywug

Bullywugs are a Race of Proto-humanoids that first appeared in the book The Autistic Hero 2: Worlds Clashing. They were intended to be the Leading Sentient species of earth before humans and they were created by The Quetzalcoatl and the The Rainbow Serpent to be the Dominant Species but they failed because a large portion of them couldn't survive the cold seasons so they were taken off the planet and evacuated into another Realm between the world so they were unable to lead as the main race, They were brought to the realm Reptaria which was next to The Feywilds. a Bullywug Shaman appeared in The All Realms Meeting of the Second story where one of each race that came before humanity to exchange peace treaties as well as to talk to each other.

## Biology+Lore

Bullywugs were amphibious humanoids with webbed digits that stood between 1.6 to 2.1 meters and weighed 150​ to ​​300 pounds. Their hides were smooth and reasonably tough, with mottled coloration ranging from emerald or olive green, yellow, brown, and brown-gray. Bullywug skin was chameleon-like, so if they remained motionless in the Swampy environment of Reptaria, they would shift through different hues and shades of their normal color range to match their surroundings using special Pygmints also found in Cuttlefish. The creatures were noxious to be around, for they carried with them the rancid reek of the bog. The huge heads of bullywugs resembled those of The extinct Beelzebufo frogs, with big, bulbous eyes with slightly rigid crests on top, wide mouths, and long, flicking tongues with adhesive properties used for catching small prey instantly and also restraining the throats of larger prey such as Terror Birds. Said tongues were barely capable of navigating a stunted variant of Common, and they typically spoke with Infrasonic Croaks which can be picked up by modern devices but not easy to hear with the Naked Hearing. Bullywugs were created in the Late Cretaceous period from said Beelzebufo frogs but they didn't fend well against the cold, due to being cold blooded species makes them unable to survive right and many would get froze in the Swamp Waters. Because of this descent into extinction the Bullywugs were Migrated to the realm Reptaria so they could live in a more prominant ecosystem that didn't wipe them out. So they were removed from the Material Plane and thus were no longer the Dominant Species of earth. Bullywugs start their lives in Transparent eggs which they attach to their backs and then carry them with them and when they are ready to hatch they cling to a branch over a pond and let the tadpoles fall into the water. It is here they fiercely Defend the pond and its even from other bullywug groups. Their sticky opposable digits is designed for gripping weapons such as the classic Spears and Javelins. It is known they are also able to belch poisonous clouds of gas which is Psychedelic and can make it's opponents see weird things and it allows them to escape or attack. Their skin also helps to defend themselves against predators who use Infrared vision to search for prey.

These tongues reach a length of 10.4 meters when fully expanded and it launches out at a speed faster than the Pistol Shrimp can snap.
