Description
Giant frogs are
found in marshes, swamps, large ponds, river banks,
and lake shores. Because of their coloration they
are difficult to detect (Average: Observation to
spot). These creatures can leap up to 20 meters to
attack. A giant frog has a tongue which is equal to
three times its body length (6 meters). The tongue
is used to draw prey to the frog's mouth. Any
creature hit by the tongue make a Difficult test vs.
Strength, and if it succeeds, the frog will withdraw
it and not use it against the creature again. If the
grip is not broken, the creature contacted by this
member is drawn to the frog in 2-12 turns where it
automatically takes 1D6 damage to each hit location.
Exception:
Creatures weighing more than the frog have a second opportunity to
break its grip and will not be dragged to the frog's mouth until 12
+ 1D6 turns. Furthermore, creatures weighing more than twice the
weight of the frog will not be dragged at all, and the frog will
release its hold within 3D6 turns.
A giant frog can jump to a maximum of 9 meters high. The direction of a jump can be up to 45 degrees to either
side of their direct facing. Giant
frogs eat large insects, birds, rats, or just about any other
creature small enough to swallow. If a giant frog swallows an
opponent whole, there is a chance for it to fight its way out if it
has some sort of weapon (this will also kill the frog eventually).
The victim has three chances to so escape. Hits upon a giant frog
with whole prey inside have a one-third probability of hitting the
creature inside, thus inflicting whatever damage scored on the giant
frog on that creature also. They
aggressively hunt, but fear such predators as giant fish, giant
turtles, giant snakes, etc. If severely wounded they will retreat.
They fear fire. |
