I hope you enjoy the double frogon, and I'll be back tomorrow with another monster!
(art will be added to this post and in a new post when I receive it from Hugo)
These two creatures
are identical in appearance, having a frog-like head, forelimbs, and underbody
along with reptilian wings, scales on its back and sides, and lizard-like rear
limbs. The pair mirror each other’s moves.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Breath Weapon (Su)
A double frogon is immune to its twin’s breath weapon, but not breath weapons
from other double frogons.
Dual Dragons (Ex)
A double frogon is a single creature in two identical bodies. At the beginning
of combat, its hit points are distributed equally among the two bodies. If the
two bodies are adjacent at the end of the double frogon’s turn, it can
redistribute the remaining hit points however it wishes. A double frogon rolls
twice for initiative and takes the best result. Both bodies act on the same
initiative count, so a body with changed initiative (due to Dexterity damage,
or spells or effects that change initiative) causes both bodies to change
initiative count. The double frogon has a pool of spell-like abilities. Either
body can use a spell-like ability, but it counts against the total number of
uses for the double frogon. If a body uses a spell-like ability with a target
of “you,” both bodies benefit from the spell-like ability if they are adjacent
to each other when the spell-like ability is used.
If both bodies are targeted by the same spell or effect,
they each receive an independent saving throw to resist the spell or effect.
If one of the bodies dies, the remaining body is shaken
until it can generate a replacement body, a process that takes 1 hour.
Of One Mind (Su) If
one of a double frogon’s bodies suffers from a mind-affecting effect or spell,
but the other body is not affected, the other body can attempt a Will save
against the spell or effect. If the other body is successful, the affected body
can retry the save, with a +4 bonus, at the beginning of the double frogon’s
turn. The double frogon can only use this ability once per effect or spell.
Simultaneous Breath
(Su) Both a double frogon’s bodies use their breath weapons at the same
time. They do not have to overlap their breath weapons (though they often do).
When the double frogon rolls for the duration between breath weapon uses, it
rolls twice and uses the lower result.
Twin Rend (Ex) If
a double frogon hits the same target with claw attacks from each of its bodies,
the pair can rend the target, dealing claw damage plus 1–1/2 its Strength bonus (2d8+12
for a typical double frogon). If the double frogon hits the same target with at
least four claws (two from each body), it can rend the target a second time.
Double frogons are unusual dragons crossed with ancient
devils that looked like frogs. The frog devils were eradicated when they to
usurp the rulership of Hell, but their progeny live on, largely ignorant of
their ancestors and their plots. All double frogons have twinned bodies, which
share a strong mental link, allowing them to work together seamlessly in
combat. The creatures have an obsession with the number two, and its powers, to
the extent that they take draconian measures when they discover double frogon
parents have produced an odd number of offspring. Such a blasphemous event
results in the death of all frogons, and, considering their intense fixation
with the number two, the parents themselves may take measures to eradicate
their offspring and themselves. This obsession may explain why double frogons
refuse to attack identical twins, even if doing so proves tactically unsound.
A typical double frogon body measures 12 feet in length and
weighs 1,500 pounds. A double frogon can live up to 500 years.
