I hope you enjoy the lotus blossom frog. I'll be back tomorrow with a monster with considerably less chill!
Ohmmmmmmm
This frog the size of
a bulldog floats gently above the ground and sits in a meditative pose. Waves
of calm, soothing energy flow from the frog.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Harmonious Croak (Su)
Three or more lotus blossom frogs can spend a full-round action to create the
effects of the euphoric tranquility
spell. For every 3 frogs in the group, the spell’s caster level and Will save
DC increase by 1. The effect lasts while at least one of the originating frogs
maintains it, but originating frogs can switch in and out. This is a sonic
effect.
Overcome the Physical
(Su) A lotus blossom frog can attempt a Will save when it takes lethal
damage from a weapon, spell, or effect. The save DC is equal to the weapon damage
or the DC of the spell or effect. On a successful save, the damage becomes
nonlethal.
Touch of Serenity
A lotus blossom frog can use this feat 10 times per day, and its effects last
for 2 rounds.
Lotus blossom frogs derive from a species of frog living at
the border of the primal dimension populated by fey creatures. The frogs lived
in a region contested by fey factions and many frogs died as collateral damage
in the fey’s internecine battles. As the frogs absorbed more primal energy,
they grew larger and their mental prowess improved immensely.
Rather than turn generations of deaths into a focus for
revenge, lotus blossom frogs embrace peace, so much so that they are willing to
calm one side of a conflict and let that side get slaughtered by the opposing
side. The frogs’ alien reasoning is that the dead went in peace, so they will
know only peace in whatever awaits them on the other side of the pond. Lotus
blossom frogs are pleased when peace blooms on its own without their
interference, but they are unaware that most communities plagued by the frogs
put on a friendly façade to trick them. Groups of frogs in troubled areas
gather together to force tranquility on others to induce a long-lasting peace,
wherein the recipients starve to death because they are not motivated to feed
themselves.
A lotus blossom frog is 2 feet long, stands 1–1/2
feet tall, and weighs 30 pounds. The frogs are long-lived and usually reach the
extent of their 500-year lifespans.
