Bullywug
The Bullywug is a traditionally reserved and quiet race. Many are unremarkable in terms of intelligence, and tend to stay within their tribes. They hail from swamps and jungles, keeping to wetlands to benefit their amphibious nature.
This is not to say that Bullywug are peaceful. Within their societies, they can be cunning and brutal to opponents on the societal ladder.
Some Bullywug are curious about the outside world. They venture out and become enraptured by the exploration of regions beyond the swamp. These are the adventurers of the world.

Culture and Cultural Heritage
Bullywugs live in a system of aristocracy, trying to please their superiors constantly. Bullywugs either move through the ranks by murdering their rivals, or presenting gifts to their superiors, and they always introduce themselves with grand titles. They only have three ranks in their society: the leader, the superiors, and the inferiors. Most bullywugs are in the inferior class, though some do reach the superior class.
History
Bullywugs are a race that has lived in the swamps of the world since age-old history. They have lived in a foul aristocracy, fighting over ranks and appealing to their superiors in any way that they possibly can. While other societies have improved their technology with metal, bullywugs still use simple weapons and armor, however they use them more effectively than most races do.
Bullywugs do not typically kill other races, preferring to capture people and bring them to their leaders. The leaders have giant inferiority complexes, desiring to be respected and feared by other races, allowing them to be easily flattered. As such, most races pity the Bullywugs, even when they are rude, some Bullywugs can find homes with the kinder races, and are ignored by the more hostile ones.
