Frog Slime...

...in my opinion, you deserve to die a most painful death in the pits of Abyss for creating this monstrosity!
D'you mind if I use it on my players? :D

I can't imagine it being a threat unless you start your players at zero level, but yeah, go ahead.

Also, the thought occured to me that the stats might be used for Griffon chicks, if your players are the nest-raiding type.

I love griffons so much...

I bet this glorious little creature would work as a familiar, or at least in Improved Familiar. The wizard/sorceror could get a bonus to spot checks from the pygmy griffon's eagle eyes.

I love it. Thanks to you both.

Pygmy griffon familiar!

Brrrilliant! This creature is just so abominably wrong, cute and fluffy that I just have to have my players meeting an evil sorcerer/wizard with one! Thank you, Devon!
