Poison-Arrow Elves by Stone Gargoyle

These primative amphibious elves have hide patterns resembling those found on frogs, which range from light yellows to dark browns and bright greens. Their skins secrete poisons when wet as well. They are smaller than other elven races and shy away from humans, who often mistake these secretive creatures for goblins. In spite of being obviously humanoid, these elves have only animal intelligence.
