About

The toadman is the henchman of the Frog Witch. He lives in swampy forests and does whatever his mistress desires. A strange frog-like humanoid, he wears studded leather armor and a ragged cloak.

Swamp Dweller. At home in the swamp, the toadman can blend in and hide with ease. He spends most of his time at the Frog Witch’s hut.

Amphibian Allies. The toadman forms strong bonds with giant frogs, which are often used as guardians. It also uses them as mounts. He is more popular with the denizens of the swamp than his cruel mistress. However, this fey is wise enough to know he gains many benefits as the henchman of the powerful witch.
