Monster: Frogling

Monster: Frogling

One D&D book that I've only opened probably once before today is the Book of Challenges. I thought that it does not contain anything new, but from among the encounters I noticed a monster that I've never seen before - the frogling. A tiny bipedal frog-like humanoid. This elemental being explodes upon death, creating a toxic cloud.
