Breaking News: Kuo-Toa Not Froggy Anymore

[Aeolius]

Could it be even more ambiguous?

And it points out a great name for an undersea supplement:

Sea Below

And I forgot to mention how great the old school art was before the "anime" came into D&D.
That scene of action is so... awe ispiring... I can't even hold my breath.

To be honest I like the frog theme since I can fathom frogs being on land for extended periods of time.

fathom... heh heh

Perhaps one could compare them to snakeheads:

"...snakeheads... are distinguished by a long dorsal fin, small head with large head scales on top, large mouth and teeth. They have a physiological need to breathe atmospheric air..." (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channidae )

FWIW, I always really liked the 3E kuo-toa.

For me it was an example of monstrous race that could be evil and creepy without having fangs, horns, random spikes, plated segments or glowing eyes.

Not that there aren't any examples of this elsewhere, just saying it struck me as a particularly good one.

Why does the tree-form Dryad have breasts? Or is that just a trick of the shadow?

Because it spends most of its time looking like a actual woman and when it assumes 'tree' form, it's mostly just a covering?

Because the Dryads still want to look female in tree form?

Because Dryads are traditionally female and the boobs automatically make us think of girls?

Because the artists had a thing for splinters?

Take your pick.

Some forward thinking fellow posted a similar thread about the new dryads awhile back over HERE
