Aeriscan Giant Frog

Aeriscan Giant Frogs (Aeriscan: Ranga Umaia Aerisciano) are endemic to the marshlands of the Aeriscan continent. As per their name, Aeriscan Giant Frogs are just like other common varieties of frogs excepting their immense size. It is hotly debated among Telian sages if their large size is due to natural or supernatural causes.

These creatures are found in humid wetlands. As amphibians, they divide their time between the water and the land.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Aeriscan Giant Frogs are carnivorous and will prey on anything smaller than themselves. With a sticky tongue that can extend up to 15 feet in length, they prefer to hide in the muck, waiting to ambush prey from afar. After hitting prey with their tongue, they attempt to draw it into their mouths to be swallowed whole.
