Description

Inktober 2018 17: Swollen : A common feature of butterfrog, but taken to the next (say gargantuan) level!


Two for One, on sale!!!


Critter developed and stated by fabulous Mike Welham -> www.patreon.com/FrightfulFrida…


This toad, the size of a pony, has numerous folds in its overly excessive skin, making it difficult to discern its features. This extra skin doesn't seem to impede the toad's movement.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Sudden Growth (Ex) As an immediate action, a bloatoad can explode to Gargantuan size. When it does so, it makes a bull rush combat maneuver check (using the CMB listed in the stats below) against all creatures in its new space. Creatures pushed back 10 or more feet must succeed on a DC 21 Reflex save to avoid taking damage as if they had fallen the distance they were pushed back and landing prone. Creatures still within the bloatoad's space after it grows can attempt a DC 21 Reflex save to move to a square adjacent to the toad; on a failed save, creatures take 4d6 points of bludgeoning damage and are pinned. Pinned creatures takes bludgeoning damage during the toad's next turn unless it moves off the creatures. If the toad chooses to maintain the pin, it must succeed at a combat maneuver check as normal. A pinned creature takes 4d6 points of bludgeoning damage each round if it doesn't escape.

 

 

This massive, rotund toad's skin is stretched taut over its body, making it seem as if the slightest puncture will cause it to explode.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Expulsion of Air (Ex) As a standard action, or if the bloatoad takes at least 10 points of piercing damage from a single attack, it releases a burst of air as it reverts to its Small size. All creatures in a 30-foot cone take 4d6 points of bludgeoning damage and are knocked prone; Medium or smaller creatures are pushed back 10 feet. A successful DC 21 Reflex save halves the bludgeoning damage, and negates a creature being pushed back and knocked prone. The save DC is Constitution-based.

A Gargantuan bloatoad reduced to size Small as a result of damage cannot use its sudden growth ability until it has healed all the damage through fast healing. If the bloatoad instead voluntarily used this ability, it must wait until after the end of its next turn before using its sudden growth ability.

 

Bloatoads are shy animals that spend most of their lives in their apparent base forms featuring relatively compact frames with overly wrinkly skin. However, a visit to their habitats shows signs of damage where it appears storm bursts knocked down several trees in random locations. Bloatoads confronted with danger prefer to escape that danger, relying on the excess skin to provide them with protection while they escape. When escape seems impossible, air bladders hidden behind gill-like structures instantaneous fill, growing the toads to immense proportions. These newly mammoth frogs seek to crush their former and then return to their regular sizes once the threat has ended.

Love it! Especially the custom knockback attack. That's hilarious and I really hope it gets used in a game.
