PURPLE FROGS by Reagren Wright

Purple frogs are quite noisy and annoying, loud enough to be heard a mile away. Whenever they gather, the area has a purple hue to it. Their skin glistens purple. The skin has a magical toxic glandular secretion that not only poisoning anything that touches the frog via bare skin contact, but causes any physical contact to turn the being/animal purple. To matters worst, purple frogs boldly go wherever they want because other living creatures fear their touch. These frogs will jump right after humanoids trying to intimidate them. Should anyone choose to squish a frog underfoot, he or she soon finds him or herself purple for the next two days.
