Giant frogs can be 2, 4, or 6-ft in length. They are found anywhere their normal-size cousins are. They have natural camouflage and surprise on a roll of 1-4 on 1d6. A 2-ft frog weighs 50 lbs and can jump 180-ft, a 4-ft frog weighs 150 lbs and can jump 140-ft, and a 6-ft frog weighs 250 lbs and can jump 100-ft.
The frog can shoot its tongue up to three times its body length and gets a +4 to hit. The tongue does no damage, it only sticks to the victim. Any creature hit with the tongue can attempt to free itself by striking the tongue. If the victim manages to strike the tongue, the frog will retract it and attack a different target next round.
If the victim is not freed and weighs less than the frog, the frog will attempt to pull the victim into its mouth for maximum damage. If the victim weighs more than the giant frog it will take 2 rounds to drag the victim into its mouth. If the victim is more then double the frog's weight, the frog will not be able to move the victim. On the 3rd round the frog will release its tongue.
If the frog scores a natural 20 on an attack, it has swallowed its prey. A giant frog can swallow whole anything elf-sized or smaller. If swallowed, there is a chance for the victim to cut their way out. They must have in hand a sharp edged weapon and score an 18 or better. Prey get three attempts to escape. Any hit to the giant frog, that has swallowed its victim, has a 33% chance of doing damage to the victim as well.
