Brb’bl’BLERG‘g’g, a Bullywug Royal of rather large size and nasty demeanor, fancies himself as a Prince of the Colony. He does not have the wits to be sly about assassinating his rivals, nor enough treasure to bribe and genuflect his way into the King’s Cave. He does have a menacing greatclub he covets and refuses to part with. He has become addicted to the temporary hit points he gains when he kills a creature with this greatclub. The thing has corrupted the Bullywyug Royal, and he has become quite chaotic and evil. He has set about capturing more treasure and tasty prisoners so that he can impress the current King and achieve his rightful station.
Brb’bl’BLERG‘g’g has begun raiding down the Ulmerien River looking for vulnerable humanoids and their treasures. He brings two groups with him, one to scout ahead and report and one as his personal retinue. The Bullywugs swim underwater down the river on their Giant Frog mounts and use the mounts on land for their greater land movement speed. They will attempt to capture as many prisoners as they can while grabbing treasure.

Actions
- Multiattack. The Bullywug royal makes two melee attacks with its spear.
- Greatclub: Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage. This is Arya's Bukrai Blade, heavily encrusted, so it appears as a freakish hybrid between a greatsword, stone greatclub, and macuahuitl.
- Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 3) bludgeoning damage.
- Spear. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit (with advantage if the royal is mounted on a toad) , reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 +3) piercing damage (versatile). If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. When he hits with a melee attack using this magic spear and reduces the target to 0 hit points, he gains 2d6 temporary hit points.
- Tongue. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 10 ft., one target. Hit: 1d8 + 1 bludgeoning damage. If the target is Medium or smaller, it is Grappled (escape DC 12). And if the target is Small or smaller, it is pulled up to 10 feet towards the Bullywug, and Restrained until the grapple ends. If the target is grappled and in range, the Bullywug may make one bite attack against it as a bonus action. The Bullywug can grapple one target at a time with its tongue.
