I hope you enjoy the psychotropifrog, and I'll see you tomorrow with another frog monster!
Rib...wha...
This massive frog has
pupils that look like spirals, and its skin bears strange blotches that look
like puffy clouds.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Psychotropifrog Toxin
(Ex) Contact or Bite—Injury; save
Fort DC 14; frequency 1/round for 8 rounds;
effect 1d4 Wis; cure 2 consecutive saves. A victim of this poison must succeed on a
DC 14 Will save at the beginning of its turn or become confused. On a roll of 51–75,
the victim falls prone (if not already prone, it takes 1d6 points of nonlethal
damage) and laughs for 1 round, and on a roll of 76–100, the victim is stunned by
a realization or an answer to a question relevant to the victim or its
compatriots. Additionally, a creature that still suffers Wisdom damage from psychotropifrog
toxin after 24 hours must succeed on a DC 14 Fortitude save or 1 point of
Wisdom damage becomes 1 point of Wisdom drain. The save DCs are
Constitution-based.
Telepathy (Su) A
psychotropifrog can only communicate with those victims suffering from its poison.
It can continue communicating with them for 1 minute after they stop being
affected by the poison.
Toxic Skin (Ex) A
psychotropifrog's skin secretes its poison. Any creature that touches a psychotropifrog,
either by making a successful attack with an unarmed strike or natural weapon
or with a touch attack is affected by psychotropifrog toxin. A creature that
grapples the psychotropifrog is also exposed to the creature’s toxic skin.
Psychotropifrogs are the guardians and product of fields of plants
which acted as mind-altering drugs when eaten or burned. Ordinary frogs
consumed the plants and expanded their minds in the process, passing this
awakening on to their offspring. In addition, they became delivery vectors for the
drugs they devoured. No longer desiring the plants, they live in harmony among the
plants. In order to protect the plants from overharvesting for their psychotropic
qualities, the frogs afflict intruders with the same effects as the plants.
Psychotropifrogs have no real intention of harming trespassers,
but their bites are moderately powerful. They often intoxicate their foes and
then barrage them with questions that seem wildly out of place for creatures of
their apparent intellectual prowess. One of their favorite queries is, “Have
you ever considered how we’re just players in someone else’s story?” Often,
this odd line of inquiry sparks a revelation in someone under the effects of
the drug.
A typical psychotropifrog measures 3 feet long, stands 2
feet tall, and weighs 50 pounds. It has an average lifespan of 20 years.
