Frogfolk (Boggard)

Overview

On average a Boggard is a few inches shorter than a human, but his muscular stature, large lower body, and thick skeleton make a weight nearing 300lbs very common. Most boggards are a shade of green, with moist, slick skin. approximatelyBoggards speak Croak, a deep, throaty language more often sung than spoken. Boggards are carnivores and live primarily on the monstrously large insects and rodents that live in the swamps of their natural habitat. While they can digest and survive on other meats, they prefer the crunch of living bugs heading down their throat as they swallow them whole. The fact that the insects occur naturally and in abundance means that the Frogfolk have never had to develop a system for producing food.
