The grung is a 9th-level spellcaster. Its spellcating ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 12, +4 to hit 1d20+4 with spell attacks). It knows the following ranger spells:

1st level (4 slots): cure wounds, jump
2nd level (3 slots): barkskin, spike growth
3rd level (2 slots): plant growth


Amphibious. The grung can breathe air and water.

Poisonous Skin. Any creature that grapples the grung or otherwise comes into direct contact with the grung's skin must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute. A poisoned creature no longer in direct contact with the grung can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Variant: Grung Poison

Grung poison loses its potency 1 minute after being removed from a grung. A similar breakdown occurs if the grung dies.

A creature poisoned by a grung can suffer an additional effect that varies depending on the grung's skin color. This effect lasts until the creature is no longer poisoned by the grung.

Green. The poisoned creature can't move except to climb or make standing jumps. If the creature is flying, it can't take any actions or reactions unless it lands.
Blue. The poisoned creature must shout loudly or otherwise make a loud noise at the start and end of its turn.
Purple. The poisoned creature feels a desperate need to soak itself in liquid or mud. It can't take actions or move except to do so or to reach a body of liquid or mud.
Red. The poisoned creature must use its action to eat if food is within reach.
Orange. The poisoned creature is frightened of its allies.
Gold. The poisoned creature is charmed and can speak Grung.
