Grippli (5e Race)
From D&D Wiki
Grippli[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
A grippli has the head and body of a large frog, but it's limbs have flexible fingers that allow it to manipulate weapons and other objects. Grippli can grasp things with their feet in addition to their hands, making them excellent climbers, but they can't use their feet for fine manipulation. Grippli are just as comfortable moving on four legs as they are moving on two legs.
History[edit]
TBA
Society[edit]
Most Grippli care about the survival of their tribe over moral ideals. Young Grippli are raised by the community rather than a single set of parents. Grippli settlements are mostly built out of mud and other materials that are abundant in the area.
