Poisoned Custom
Any creature that grapples the grung or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or take 2 (1d4) poison damage and be Poisoned until the end of the grung's next turn. The grung secretes one of six tribal poisons (see Poison Darts); roll 1d6 or choose one to determine the poison's effect when it deals damage.

Combat Behavior

Tactics


• Grungs attack from ambush in the canopy, using Stealth and elevated positions.
• Hunters open with poisoned blowgun darts from range, targeting isolated foes.
• Warriors leap down with Standing Leap and engage with daggers, relying on Poisonous Skin to punish melee attackers.

Monster Description

Poison Dart Grungs are small, territorial tree frogs organized into rigidly color-coded tribes. Each caste secretes a distinct toxin, which warriors harvest by wiping their darts across their own skin. Tribes are led by a golden-caste Chief, defended by warriors, and fed by hunters who stalk the canopy with blowguns.

Ecology

Grungs live in rainforest canopies near still water, where tadpoles are raised in communal pools. They coat their skin with toxic sap to renew their poisons daily.
