Actions

  • Multiattack. The giant dire Abyssal frog makes three attacks: one with its bite, one with its claws, and one with its tongue.
  • Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) piercing damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 16). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained and the frog can’t bite another target.

  • Tongue. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (2d12 + 5) slashing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 16 Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 10 feet toward the giant dire Abyssal frog.
  • Swallow. The giant dire Abyssal frog makes one bite attack against a Large or smaller target it is grappling. If the attack hits, the target is swallowed, and the grapple ends. The swallowed target is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the giant dire Abyssal frog, and it takes 14 (4d6) acid damage at the start of each of the giant dire Abyssal frog’s turns. The giant dire Abyssal frog can only swallow one target at a time. If the giant dire Abyssal frog dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 5 feet of movement, exiting prone.

About

This frog appears to be about 12 feet long. Its skin is blackish-green and constantly oozes a milky slime from its body.

Giant Dire Abyssal Frogs come from the Plane of Slime and are wholly evil. They have a demonic aspect to them, with a spiny and usually poisonous hide. Their red eyes flicker with demonic intelligence.
