I would love to play a lawful good Grung. She’d be obsessed with chivalry, goodness and cities after learning about them from a Paladin her tribe captured...well at least until the paladin was eaten
Mine is a greedy capitalist who throws acid bombs at his enemies.
Your a kinder person than me
I like grippli much better.... No body toxin though.
I have a chubby 5ft guy who wears armour and human clothing, he's friendly, his name is Cory, I have a few more but he's my main, he's a foot soldier
I have a few pictures of him but unfortunately I can't share in the comment section, obviously
Honestly every time I hear your intro I imagine a chorus of huge frogs making that sound.
Grung traditional throat singing
@@tatsusama3192 I know what it is but that's the imagery that comes to mind.
I agree weirdly fitting for this vid
@@tatsusama3192 mongolian frogs then
A Grung monk would be a pretty cool concept. Dishing out unarmed attacks to apply poison via skin contact. Imagine an entire tribe of Grung monks all trained to be Poison Fists (Oriental Adventures Prestige class), bobbing from tree to tree throwing poisoned darts and shuriken, doing stunning fist attacks that potently envenom enemies.
Way of Mercy would be quite good since grung can poison their enemies.
I may have missed it but if I recall correctly the Yuan-Ti consider Grung eggs to be a delicacy when candied.
Now I want to make a Grung Drunken Master Monk that keeps its skin moist by soaking in a large bowl of wine two or three times daily.
There's actually a bit of lore around the Grung in the forgotten realms for the Tomb of Annihilation Book. Their deity in the Forgotten Realms (I can't remember her name for the life of me) is actually dead and is one of the 9 gods imprisoned within the Tomb of the Nine Gods. There is also a side quest involving them in that module where the party is tasked with helping a grung chieftain fool his people into believing that he is marrying their god.
All Hail the Hypnogrung!
Grung’s water dependency could be solved if the Grung or another party member has access to Shape Water and uses it to animate the water and encase the Grung’s body in a little bubble or suit of water while it rests or throughout the day.
so, i can make these groups from old 80`s and 90´s cartoons. Tortles= tmnt, Bullywogs= battle toads. Saurials+Pterafolk= extreme dinosaurs. all i need now is a rat race for biker mice from mars and a race of humanoid sharks for street sharks. why does any one wanna play, boring ass races as human,orcs,dwarfs or elves?
Played a civilized grung swashbuckler that had been taken from a spawning pool and raised as a sort of ships mascot in a dragon heist game. Lots of fun.
There is an official Grung Player Race, now. You can get it through DndBeyond under One Grung Above, which I believe is a promotion for their Extra Life children’s charity. However, it’s not Adventure’s League Legal.
Yes, when I say "official" I mean Adventure League Legal. :)
@@AJPickett Where is the bullywug player race
Rainbow Grung are the descendants of Hypno-Toad.
(We are going to get deeply nerdy) I'm so in
Baby Grung doo doo doo doo doo doo
F@#$ you. . .
*Charmed by Grung*
The next DND romance film looks lit
TY - I love to use the amphibians as amphibious - taking the path through the swamp - in armour - and the first thing you know is something has sprung out of the reeds besides you and is pushing you off the path into the water on the other side.
Strong poisons and toxins meet high-level Monk
High level Monk laughs while drinking poison spiked toxins
A way that I would explain the gold grung poison in such a way that it makes more sense, would be the poison is a strong psychedelic hallucinogen that induces a euphoria in the sufferer while they are in the presence of grung/listening to the grung language. So to keep that high going, one would do anything; Including follow orders.
The number of frog creatures in D&D is simply astounding and wonderful
You seem very grung ho about this.
@@jacobmendonca8571
Pfft. Ha!
Please do not BULLY our WUGgly friends; AJ does his GRIPPLIng work of the frogmen so you can SIFon it for your own inspiration while not breaking their base idea. A setting full of BATRACHIan races, perhaps?
Such a contrast from a Banderhobb😂 Adorable but dangerous
I came into this video expecting to need to provide the historical lore for grung, who debuted as savage, fanged, cannibalistic, xenophobic toadmen in the Greyhawk setting in 2nd edition, fell off the radar, and were then drastically reinvented for 5th edition. Color me amazed and pleasantly surprised by the director actually knowing about the true history of the grung already and incorporating it into the video! Well done!
Thanks :)
So a Grung and a Yuan-ti walk into a bar...
4:03 This actually reminds me of a real phenomena called phenotypic plasticity. Perhaps each pool has different chemicals/conditions which make them develop into their specific color?
Ah, yes. B'aang R'aaang.
Have you ever seen anyone play a Grung grappler build to give out poison hugs to enemies?
So many frog races.
False. There can never be enough frog races. Hail the ribbiting empire.
@@blatvis5710 Croak Croak ,May we ever leap forward
That description of a grung banquet was masterfully morbid! "...sizzling and popping while the grung tear off their raw riggling flesh..." I shuddered irl. Golf clap of despair, my good sage.
Awesome stuff, my kids just got a D&D for kids book from the library and this was the creature that caught their eye. We just watched the video together and thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep it up man!
Gotten idea for a kinda tmng raised by a tortle the four knowing nothing of the cast system and or the evilness of there kin, these Robin hood vigilantes developed a different kind of secretion causing an array of different effects. Red grung rage, orange grung hypnotic pattern, purple grung hex, and blue grung resist fear and mind effects.
Yeah! Just try picking up that frog and licking it's back.
is hilariously perfect since this recently became a playable race, being content put out by dnd beyond as part of a charity event
Great, another frog-like race. It's ribbitulous! All jokes aside I like the grungs but holy moly there are dozens of frogs in Dnd, even more than spiders or goblinoids. Even kuotoa look like frogs in some images(they're not of course). I guess they're present in many fairytales and myths so that's probably the reason.
Add Grung to the list of things my lizard-folk Bard PC wants to eat.... 😄🦎
Hi mom, i’m sorry people can actually lock me up on Google, I hope my first name is common across the world.
Lock not lock
Look not lock
8:45 we are referencing that time
And to the things my Orc character wants to eat. Alongside Kobolds, seaweed, and jellyfish
So much great Lore on your chanel you do a great job aj. 😁
If you had all the frog like races an even the banderhob and slads working together all races would be in trouble
Aren't Slaad the literal incarnation of Chaos? I don't see them working with other beings
Or each other
Yes! More frogs! I was thinking of making a Gold Grung warlock of ygorl that found a way to extract slaadi control gems and used slaad as slaves .Maybe they could even be a wild magic sorcerer. Maybe this grung could be a prophecised rainbow or black grung? Maybe this grung will start an empire that's a threat to humanoid civilization using an army of grung, slaad, and bullywugs. Perhaps the heroes might take away his control gem and the grung's blue slaad bodyguards infect him with chaos phage? Perhaps this villainous warlord will reemerge as a green salad? Maybe he'll uncover secret rituals to create banderhobb assassins that he'll send after the players. Maybe this former grung will ascend to the ranks of grey and death slaad and become a true existential threat? Hmmmmmm
Wow you are determined to finish Volo and Mordenkainen's books aren't you.
Yes.
I love grung, they’re pretty adorable.
Really love your intro, pretty badass
I've played in a few long term campaigns and my favorite character I've ever made has been Poca Rana (Spanish for small frog). The campaign was in a wild west setting so I made a rango inspired grung, a spikey desert toad. She was a desert storm herald barbarian/ arcane trickster rogue. I absolutely loved her. We went from 3rd level to 15th level and will be picking up our campaign again in the winter. She was chaotic nuetral and had been from a barbarian tribe in the uninhabited desert before she as a child was kidnapped by elven poachers and sold to a family of sorcerer and kept as a pet by their daughter. When they fell into poverty they abandoned the house and her and she was left to find her way home ie to be a party member.
Our dm even gave me some wild grung abilities based on me being am orange grung (the warrior kind) I got their churr ability and their poison ability that makes enimies scared of their allies. That churr ability actually prevented a boss from using its reaction to reanimate after the party oneshotted it. Should see the dm deflate that his undead boss couldn't come back cause it died while stunned. With a single round stun ability
As someone who has a Grung character with Rana in their name I approve this comment. Sorry I know it's late, but I thought it was cool someone did a similar name.
@@yesman7274 awww adorable tell me about them
I have three more theoretical colors: white, silver and bronze. White Grung poison blinds and deafens. Silver Grung poison stupifies. Bronze Grung poison immobilizes.
Thanks AJ, I love weird and rare player races.
Where is the bullywug player race
I'm adding a Grung society to my game. Between you and Mr Rhexx, I've been saved untold hours of reading. Thanks!
The picture of you with the quill is awesome.
Greyhawk adventures I love those novels.
Kermit just got serious!
It does seem smart that the gold charm makes the character understand and speak Grung. THat way the Grung can give the character orders in Grung and that way the player can talk to the Grung in Grung. (and no other player is likely to understand what is being said)
Also makes owning slaves easier when the slaves can understand their orders
I love the video. Grungs are some of my favorite humanoids. I love the ideas you had for Grung society, religion, and culture. If you need a good unpainted grung mini, wiz kids released a great one recently
Aj I made all my grungs actual happy little British frog men, that live in Shire type place
Wind in the Willows?
Yep
Hey AJ, you ever read the Redwall series? The grung would fit in perfectly XD
Not yet.
@@AJPickett It's a series about anthropomorphic animals, so if that's not really your thing than feel free to stop right there with no judgements from me lol but it had a very rich fantasy world where herons and owls took the place of dragons and so on. The toadfolk were much like bullywugs, and I feel the grung would fit quite well into a tropical setting in that world
Just building a Grung for a new campaign starting tomorrow, first time playing one. Your video’s very helpful for the process, thank you for sharing!
Glad I could help!
Good video AJ
I love when similarly themed monsters band together, particularly when they are sapient. Praise Wastri! Guile unmatched, nimble and sly, Lord of poison and slime, master of all who dwell within the swamp!
AJ, I've been watching you for YEARS now and you know I love ya but how have you not done a video on Grey Renders yet? lol
*shuffling of paper* GASP!
Grung, Bullywogs and Slaadi, aka Battle toads
May just use these guys for my Serpent Isle campaign. Make one of them honestly believe he/she can make friends just by hugging. Believes victims of mind control poison are "Real" friends.
Great work as always, mate
Always down to get deeply nerdy
Awww look at these little friends! I wanna pet em but I'll die!
So hey, are these dudes the descendants of the amphibian creator race?
No, they were not originally the Batrachi.
AJ Pickett Got it. So... long shot... no "kangaroo-folk" for the leap year day?
Do n't pat the merry slavery toad
Ohhhh!! Special video!! It's Yoshi's Island, but with Frogs..
I just realized these guys are directly or at least partly based off the Aztec civilization in southern and Central Mexico
just regard them as tree frog fairies, ..
in a random chamber he sees another dimention. a figure he had taken on as his hero.

Right now I'm playing a campaign as "Pepe Dankmeme", the Grung chieftain (gold caste). I have the retainer Kermit, the green skinned grung as my follower. My tribe worships Kek, dark lord of mischief.
They hold ceremonies where they celebrate "meme magic", where they use illusions to convey key ideas and imagery (literally memes made using minor illusion and other illusion based spells). They are ruled over by the leaders called "chans"; there are four of them, which is why their major clan is known as 4chan.
Their country is kekistan, a jungle based country where they play shadilay. All the non-grung are known as normies and they fight against a neighbouring tribe of Lizardmen with the highest caste being a Red lizardmen. Their tribe is known as Reddit, and another of fish people ruled by the leader Tum, who's tribe is Tumblr.
I can't wait to see how the campaign plays out. It's been a blast so far. 😁🐸
Sounds hilarious. I tend to play pretty comedic RPG sessions, though I understand it is not to everyone's taste.
Oh, i'd bet it's a blast. That sound amazing. Shadilay.
Full Grung Party we all start as Green Grung and Class Changes are done with Magical Herbs and Rituals.
You might have to try several times before you get the Grung you want?
Really wish i found these videos BEFORE painting a huge army of D&D minis...
Hello! Don't take this the wrong way, but would you consider soundproofing your recording or messing with some settings to make it more audible?
I really enjoy videos like this, but it feels best to listen to it as a background while multitasking, but I keep missing words here and there. Being a non-native speaker it's probably understandable, but it doesn't happen as often with some other creators.
Other than that, I am really enjoying the abundance of lore and information, thank you! ^-^
I never take constructive feedback the wrong way, thank you for letting me know. I am constantly trying to improve my audio tech and the way that I talk to make it as clear as I can.
@@AJPickett if you're looking for tips on creating a higher quality sound space, head over to AXK's channel. Hes a professional audio guy for film who breaks down different concepts like that.
Its a shame they are evil....they're adorable.
If you play one they can be whatever you want them to be, after all kobolds have the same alignment and you can still see good, or at least not evil kobolds running around.
Probably referring to the fact that those type of frog is absurdly deadly because of their skin is highly poisonous
Don't think I didn't see that Princess Bride reference
Inconceivable!
I had a grung character named dart. A rogue with a blow dart gun. He had the ranged feat that gave him +10 damage -5 attack. Combo'd with his stealth attack and poison he would hit for 20-30 damage with a damage 1 weapon making one time he popped a gaurds head by rolling a nat 20 and even the dm said the bush i was hiding in breathed before the shot. Really fun, would hide in companions backpacks for sneak attacks. Sucked when they rolled 1s and hit the backpack though
Froglok?
Does anyone else understand what I am saying when I say “Kulapari?”
It's on Netflix
AJ Pickett I know! That’s where I was introduced to it. I am such a binge whore... 😢
The children's book?
Trevor Pryce is the fellow's name. Former American football player who got into writing the young adult series of novels. Netflix made it into the animated series a few years ago.
@@kylethomas9130 it was a childrens book?
Wait. Wait... racist frog god... so Wastri is just Pepe as a god?
No, Wastri is just the Dark Lord Kek by a different name. Damn, get it right normie.🐸
I mean, that is kind of the ballpark that the whole Pepe and Kek thing came from, Wastri predates that stuff by a significant amount of time though.
But are any of them juvenile ninjas?
Bullywug are the swamp ninjas
16:00 Hello my baby, hello my honey
, Hello my ragtime.
Great video AJ. Now, if I ever resurrect one of my campaign worlds, the venomous Bullywugs of the Poison Swamp are now Grungs.
Play a mini campaign where everyone are lizardmen and you hunt bullywugs and grungs for food.
If the DM is up for it, PC black or green swamp dragon babies.

@@That80sGuy1972 Thank you very much for the compliment.
Hope you are have a good weekend reading over post from a month ago.
lol . .. updates notifications ?
From the age of 26 to 29 I was at my local RPG shop like four or five days a week gaming and just talking zhit coming up with game with everybody.
Then the factory where I worked at had some gamers, so our DM story telling skills got a real flexing.
One game I had everyone pull index cards with pre written PCs for a non combat .. Role .. play D&D game.
Everyone starts off in a village tavern and pulls a card,
Sam pulls card and says, " I am the tavern owner and bar tender ?! I .. am .. Quark ?! "
Me, " I did not write up what their gender or species/race was so if you want to PC a big ear gnome/goblin go a head. "
2.) My problem to creating games is I am to art driven and my short story writing skills were not on par, and my gaming group was just awesome. But I haven't been with them for close to 15 years and covid shut down my area's last gaming shop, then the work hours of everyone.
I am still trying to make at least fifty decent looking pictures to post on Bing with one or two page short one shot D&D games. But I don't do 5e cause of book funding, and once again I hit a dead end on my own fast pace game play. So I can only write out for 3.5e.
If I spend less time on the comment section, I might have more stuff done.
3.) As for being saga - connected, my grandparents back in the 1980's bought cassette tape books where you listen and read along with the Greek classics and Greek/ Roman histories. Then I got into Wicca as a teenager in the 1990's and went magik/fairy hunting in the library .. no internet at the time, .. all books. Grade school & junior school it was five to seven book reports/essays or else = paddling and grounding.
Along with growing up in the country side, collecting a hundred bull frogs or toads was just something to bring to school. Feed them for a month to get them good and big.
Video is about the .. Grungs.
1990's AD&D2ndE source book " Complete Humanoid " hand book guide cover the Grung along with the other Bullyg frog guys.
The book had background generic campaign guidelines rules for the small folk such as the little frog men, pixies, mites, and atomies (1 and half foot gnomes/ or forest gnomes).
Then the stander humanoid being of goblins, hobgoblings, orcs, lizardmen, and ogres. With this book you could run a generic off hand fairy tale setting game. Other than dealing the neck beard gate keeping trolls placing level and mage class limits on everything.
WotC 3rdE fixed that saying goblins can have unlimited sorcerer and wizard class level and create their own wands.
There is just the look of wonder in a group of eight year old eyes when they get to play two foot tall gnomes and frog men spell wand battling 3ft goblins and ten tall ogres.
Except in this game good dragons are green with gold trim high lights on their scales.
At the gaming shop seeing the .. fluming .. eyes and smoke coming off the murder hobos heads as a group of grade school children making non combat rolls to outthink the same goblin ogre lair they lost their 10th-level multiclass PCs in with .. 1st-level rogues. !
The goblin n/pcs were just happy someone manage to get rid of the ogres.
Edit: " cough, cough, " with 3rdE rules all you needed to deal with the goblins was 4 ranks in Diplomacy or Bluff.
@@krispalermo8133 I used to have that handbook. I lost it over a decade ago in one of my moves for that year. I played the Hobgoblin Pacifist. I based it on me, a relatively new pacifist.
Don't look at me like that. It's a hard walk. I have anger issues and was still seeing my anger management sponsor at the time. I went from being really proud of my ability to hurt people to being downright ashamed of it. Murdok (that hobgoblin) was my fantasy escape character and my DM's favorite player character. Goblins and goblinoids can get fun, deep, and complex as easy as you let them.
Oh, and I've been a successful pacifist for about 27 years now. Go me!
So these guys are only evil because the previous Greyhawk version was evil. You take away the cannibalism and the slavery, as they don't make much sense, and they come across as a group of people that want nothing to do with the world at large and will attack anybody that goes inside their territory, driving them off with poison arrows. Those tree frog people look incredibly weird, you can tell that the tree frog body is not supposed to be arranged in that way. Now I want an attractive, psychic frog race based off of Bulma and the Nemakian frog from Dragon Ball, Tsu from My Hero Academia, and various prehistoric amphibians from before the time of the dinosaurs. Any idea of how to make that happen?
Write them up, submit them to the next Kobold Press monster manual kickstarter? Or create your own monster manual source book.
@@AJPickett thank you.
Best I could do is Sergeant Keroro
Loved the alignment talk towards the end, you could make a whole video on it
so many ideas forming. can make Kulipari from Grungs or play as Kermit the frog. just make a Grippli bard.
It'd be great if the rainbow grung exists, but isn't their messiah. Instead, its poison makes anyone around believe it were anyway, including other grung.
He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!
Is that dmt or caffeine molecule structure? Good choice either way.
13:56 - In 1000 DR, at the Millennium Festival in Waterdeep, a human fighter with spikey hair meets a mysterious blond girl and, thanks to his artificer friend, is sent on a funky adventure through time and space. After befriending a zany Warforged Monk, they join a taciturn Grung Paladin on his quest to retrieve a +5 Vorpal Sword and stop a fiendish Mage’s mysterious dark ritual from destroying Faerun. Unbeknownst to them, the ritual was not intended to destroy Faerun, but save it! For, you see, the Magus was the sole survivor of the ancient Empire of Netheril, which had collapsed due to their mucking about with the Far Realm and doomed the future- the very thing Magus’ ritual had meant to stop! Thus, Sir Grung and his friends join forces with Magus to change history and save The Realms before 2000 DR, the fated awakening of Tharizdun! 10/10, greatest RPG ever. #GrungoTrigger

Can't speak for AJ.

Matt Lynn Thanks, man.
Remember monks Grunge are exactly the type of monster why we must always carry a backup weapon 🐱👤
Monks are generally immune to poison...
@@leosciotti1389 at lvl 10 by then you are the things that grunges nightmares are made out of you can catch arrows you are hypermobile and you are immune to poison but up until then you are vulnerable to their poison skin
Keep your head on a swivel! This is grung country…
Watched this video a few weeks back, didn't know if I would ever actually see the little guys. Yesterday my DM rolled them up on a random encounter and we had a little fight. My heartless teammates went through and terminated all of the tadpoles afterwards but my character managed to save a few he now has to try to raise. It was an interesting turn of events.
I like your rainbow 🌈 and black 🔳 grung 🐸, good ideas 💡
Personally I don’t like the concept of alignment. To make the point I once played a lawful good paladin who was obsessed with returning the belongings of defeated enemies to their families.
“Just because he’s evil doesn’t mean he’s s family is bad, that their inheritance!”
Dead adventurers in a dungeon “we should return his belongings to the family and return his body for proper burial”
I had taken an oath of poverty.... I enforced it on my party too
They objected to my last PC being neutral evil, so I rolled up a new character and arranged for “rocks fall”
Neutral evil characters are always best...
to paraphrase you “the dear sees the wolf as evil. The wolf only sees dinner.”
If I our PCs are happy looting the dead, that’s grave robbing. Evil
Killing hobgoblins because they protect tribal territory. Evil
Most PCs are neutral evil
So playing a neutral evil character leave so much room for genuine roll playing, it’s fun, especially when you are a cleric and point out the evil the other PCs are doing. Especially if your clerical goal is to convert others.
You may have seen me mention Tharizdun a few times.... I was his cleric and my healing only worked if my party had done evil within x days... I was so much fun explaining the evil they done so I could heal them... I really needed to take notes for her character
Why don't you like alignment again?
I think you just a control freak and not an alignment fault
I love these guys, my dm actually suggested I’d play one for a brand new campaign, so with a bit a time I made the back story that mine would be a gold grung whose people were attacked by a black dragon. The humans have since captured and tortured me for months because of how we survived. My friends also had great laughs cause I was the comedic relief of our group. Our character arcs were to this day ones I’ll always remember for the five of us went through flaws. But mine actually made them tear up as he told the black dragon himself with his own poison of how much pain he has done and why he refuses to fight it. He wanted only to say to this dragon that you don’t deserve what you have of your to willing to take from so many… I was the distraction for our barbarian that took the monsters head with a natural twenty.. he wasn’t satisfied with vengeance, but rather looked at the ways he once lived his life so lazily with granted ease, only to discover for himself that we all just want to be treated how we always want to be treated as equals.
I wonder what would happen to any non-red grung that was a sorcerer or psion? Automatic promotion? Demotion in case of a gold or orange?
I guess they change color?
I like the new art/animations, do you have a dude working for you now?
I do 😊 RedNZblue is editing many of my vids.
They worship “the Beast” from the movie, King Fu Hustle!
love that you can playa grippli. but they are not as cool as reptile races
Would Gnomes eat Grung, you know if there was an issue with fishing nets and broken boats? I'm just asking for a friend.
A black grung you say? Hmmm, it is nice poison, and we're already here."
Black Grung, is obviously a Seattle band.
Heh! Ah, no, gnomes would probably not eat grung.
Is there a pdf of the grung poisons you came up with id love to get my hands on it if that's at all possible?
or word doc
For Green grung poison. The poisoned creature can’t move except to climb or make standing jumps. If the creature is flying, it can’t take any actions or reactions unless it lands.
For Blue grung poison. The poisoned creature must shout loudly or otherwise make a loud noise at the start and end of its turn.
For Purple grung poison. The poisoned creature feels a desperate need to soak itself in liquid or mud. It can’t take actions or move except to do so or to reach a body of liquid or mud.
For Red grung poison. The poisoned creature must use its action to eat if food is within reach.
For Orange grung poison. The poisoned creature is frightened of its allies.
For Gold grung poison. The poisoned creature is charmed and can speak Grung.
For Rainbow grung poison. The poisoned creature is incapable of any act of violence against another grung, can speak Grung and becomes incapable of seeing another creature as equal to or as worthy as a true grung, this poison can last for 2d4 hours and victims save against it with disadvantage.
For Black grung poison. The poisoned creature must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw, taking 10d8 poison damage on a failed save and they now gain the Dying condition, regardless of their current hit point total they must make a death saving throw, unless they can make a subsequent DC 20 Constitution saving throw at the start of their next turn, they will take another 10d8 poison damage and must continue to make death saving throws, if they succeed on the Constitution save, they stop taking further damage, but they have to make the three death saves regardless, and in this instance, the additional damage from the poison does not cause instant failure of those death saves. With the Constitution saves, as per usual, if the victim succeeds, they still take half the 10d8 poison damage, and, to really drive home how extraordinarily toxic this substance is, it will effect creatures that are normally immune to poison. This is in no way official lore, I just thought I would provide something to scare the shit out of your players when you casually describe it to them.
While untreated grung skin poison breaks down one minute after exposure to the air, I see no reason why the grung artisans could not alchemically treat extracted poison and store it in little wood or bone pots, so grung could make use of each other's different toxins and this could form the basis of a complex cultural tradition within their tribes. Again, not official lore, but full of fun options.
Now, although not mentioned for the forgotten realms grung, the greyhawk grung certainly have teeth and can deliver a nasty bite equal to their dagger attack and also poisonous, but their saliva is less potent than their skin toxin and victims make that constitution saving throw with advantage.
