Throggar, or Frogbeasts, are hungry, stupid animals that live in sluggish streams
or swamps. They do resemble frogs in many ways, except for their great size,
their claws, their teeth, and their smaller, red eyes.
They will usually leap to attack any creature that passes nearby unless it is
particularly huge. They can leap great distances on their powerful hind legs:
40' forward or 15' up. They can't leap backward.
COMBAT: Throggar attack with claws and fangs. Salival secretions from their
mouth are very caustic, however, when they are hungry or attacking. Any bite
that successful hits will cause an additional 1-4 hp damage due to this acid.
If their bite attack roll is a number 4 or more than that needed, they have
clamped tight on their prey: no more biting damage will occur, but the
noxious secretions will continue to do 1-6 hp damage per round until the beast's
bite is released (a couple of good hits should do this).
ECOLOGY: Throggar are usually hungry. They live in small groups, often
cannibalize their companions, and give birth to live young, which prey on
increasingly-larger animals.
