Frog Prince

Frog Prince by Stone Gargoyle

Frog Princes are the basis for many folk tales telling of frogs who are magically transformed into princes. In truth, Frog Princes are humanoid amphibians with the ability to transform into elf form when the need arises. Contrary to the name, Frog Princes can be male or female. Their frog-like appearance allows them to go unnoticed, blending in with their surroundings. They live in swampy areas in families of 2d6 members. When dealing with other humanoids, they assume an elven form, but they will remain in frog-like form when dealing with faerie folk.
Many have captured Frog Princes believing them to be capable of magically bestowing great wealth only to discover that they are incapable of such magic, and such has led to their deaths. Thus Frog Princes limit their dealings with humanoids in general.
