Being completely new to race reation I'm having trouble statting out this race I have an idea for (I'm also stumped for names), Any ideas are appreciated.

PERSONALITY
the Frog Folk are a sneaky lot, power hungry and with little respect for social manners (Unless persuaded otherwise a Frog Folk would not think twice about walking in dripping swamp water into a king's chamber) they are canny and manipulative. They prefer the damp conditions of their native swamps and have been known to recreate these environments if they live elsewhere. They have a great love of food and can eat almost anything, their stomachs allow them to digest any biomatter (even, rotten, living or even poisoned)

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Frog folk appear to be bulbous humanoid frogs (suprise suprise), one interesting feature is that they can continue to grow almost indefinitely if well fed, as well as the thick layer of blumer affording great protection size is also a sign of success among these people; a well fed frog is a successful frog, their tounge is also extreamly long and can be used to manipulate objects and grapple foes.

RELATIONS
While untrusted by many they are also respected for their cunning intellect and knowledge of herblore in the swamps, due to their longevity many of their mages are sought out for their Lore.

ALIGNMENT/RELIGION
Frog Folk are of any alignment though they seem naturally greedy and so tend to lean more towards neutral and evil.

LANDS
Frog folk settlements can be found in bogs and swamplands, they prefer small settlements of raised huts. Some can also be found in cities greedy for gold, they often find themselves rising through the criminal underworld.

ADVENTURERS
Frog Folk adventure for wealth, glory (for the profits it brings) and for a hearty meal at the end of the day.

Thats all I can think of right now, let me know if theres anything else you want to know.

Except nobody would ever consider them cunning or intelligent.
