TRAITS
Giant Frog Rider. When riding a giant frog equipped with a special harness saddle, a tona stays in place even when the frog is climbing. It can also force any attacks made against its giant frog mount to target the tona instead.
Innate Spellcasting. A tona's innate Spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 13, spell attack +5). They can cast the following spells innately without material components:
At-Will: commune with nature, dominate beast, invisibility, speak with animals.
Once per day: control weather.
Skulker. A tona can hide when only lightly obscured from the creature it is hiding from. When a tona misses with a ranged attack while hiding from a creature, it does not give away it's position.
Tree Frog Venom. A tona uses tree frog venom on its attacks, which requires a DC 13 Constitution save. A creature affected by the venom is poisoned for 1 hour. After one minute of being poisoned they must repeat the saving throw and if they fail they are paralyzed for the rest of the time they are poisoned. A paralyzed creature that goes untreated must make a DC 13 Constitution save every ten minutes while poisoned or take 14 (4d6) poison damage.
ACTIONS
Poison Dagger. Melee weapon attack. Attack: +6 hit, reach 5-ft, one target. Hit: 5 (1d4+3) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 13 Constitution save against tree frog venom (see above).
Blowgun. Ranged weapon attack. Attack: +6 hit, range 20-ft/60-ft, one target. Hit: 1 piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 13 Constitution save against tree frog venom (see above).
Tona are honorable nature spirits who roam the Caribbean bringing rain and tending to the animal population. They avoid humanity for the most part, preferring the company of wild creatures to any “civilization.” They will not come if summoned by an evil bokor. Tona are close to two feet tall with broad faces and clever hands. Their hair is typically bright green and their eyes are bright blue. Tona are famous for their singing, which echoes through the tropics on warm, rainy nights. Tona raise giant tree frogs as mounts. They have special harness saddles so they can take advantage of their mounts’ ability to climb anything.
They can be summoned like djab, though they never come if summond by an evil bokor. The typical sacrifice for summoning tona is saving the animals and plants of an area that is being decimated by colonization.

Planar Boatman. When at the helm of a watercraft, the marraenoloth can pilot it into any plane of existence, emerging anywhere that oceans or rivers touch on that plane. Most commonly this is used to ferry souls of the dead to the Shadowlands and beyond. This voyage can take less than a minute on its own, but when ferrying other creatures requires at least an 8 hour journey at sea, and all creatures aboard enter the destination plane, willing or not.

NEGOTIATING WITH A MARRAENOLOTH
A marraenoloth can either be found near the Shores of Death, the Shadowlands, or else it must be summoned with a suitable spell and an offering worth at least 500 gp. Upon arrival, the marraenoloth demands payment; if it was summoned this is typically (though not always) the item used as an offering. If payment is refused, the marraenoloth departs, albeit it will likely carry a grudge against those who wasted its time and will never again respond to their summons.
If payment is given, there is a 70% chance that the marraenoloth will betray his passengers during the voyage. For every additional 200 gp that is paid to the marraenoloth, the chance decreases by 10%, to a minimum of 20%. No fiends are trustworthy, not even well paid ones. Persuasion checks could be made to lower it even further, at the DM’s discretion.
