Grung

The Grung are a small, amphibious frog-like species that primarily inhabit the Ook Swamps in the Stormclaw Empire. Known for their brightly colored skin, which often has poisonous properties, they are a reclusive and tribal people who prefer to stay hidden within the dense, marshy forests of their swampy homeland. Their society is organized into strict hierarchies, with color indicating status, and they are known for their cunning, resourcefulness, and deep connection to the natural world. Despite being seen as primitive by many in the empire, the Grung possess a rich culture that includes unique rituals, songs, and a strong oral tradition. Though they have little interaction with the broader empire and are often viewed with suspicion or fear, they have maintained their independence and way of life by avoiding direct conflict and using the swamp's harsh environment to their advantage.
