Special Abilities	Swamp Stride A boggard warrior ignores difficult terrain caused by swamp terrain features. Terrifying Croak (auditory, emotion, fear, mental) The boggard warrior unleashes a terrifying croak. Any non-boggard within 30 feet becomes frightened 1 unless they succeed at a DC 18 Will save; those who critically succeed are temporarily immune for 1 minute. Tongue Grab If the boggard warrior hits a creature with its tongue, that creature becomes grabbed by the boggard. Unlike with a normal grab, the creature isn’t immobilized, but it can’t move beyond the reach of the boggard’s tongue. A creature can sever the tongue by hitting AC 15 and dealing at least 3 slashing damage. Though this doesn’t deal any damage to the boggard, it prevents it from using its tongue Strike until it regrows its tongue, which takes a week.

Ubagub the Slurk - Creature 2

UNIQUENMEDIUMANIMAL

The slurk is a sticky, tusked frog-beast found in underground lairs and caves. It has two massive tusks, which it uses to gore prey and tangle with rival slurks. With the slurk’s natural ability to climb walls and cling effortlessly to ceilings, it can be easy for unwary cave explorers to end up on the wrong end of the beast’s formidable ivory tusks.

The DC to Balance across the slime is 18. Entangling Slime A creature struck by a slurk’s slime squirt becomes clumsy 1 and takes a –5-foot penalty to Speed for 1 hour or until the slime is removed. The slime can be removed with a total of three Interact actions by the entangled creature or creatures adjacent to the creature. These actions don’t need to be consecutive or made by the same creature. Slurk Riding A willing or broken slurk can be used as a mount by a creature at least one size smaller than the slurk. A slurk’s back slime grants its rider a +2 circumstance bonus against any attempts to physically dismount the rider.
