Toalaks
Habitat: Swampland
Description:
Creation: Toalaks were created by Laklul, the spirit of swamps, and bestowed upon clan Lak in Athera for their strapping service to him with the aid of the orkish Farseer Thurak'Yar.
Anatomy: Height varies greatly from 5-9ft and clock in at hundreds of pounds in respect. The females are noticeably smaller than males, their bodies are covered in warts and they typically have shallow horns on their back. Their arms are lanky in contrast with their powerful hind legs which are excellent for hopping and leaping around which they may do with grand proficiency; they are able to easily hop their height and meters at a time. Their webbed feet allow them to be natural swimmers and they do so very often; they really like water. Toalaks are quite picky of their environment due to this, they cannot tolerate dryness for more than a couple of hours before drying out and dying. In addition, they are very susceptible to colder weather though if they thaw they will be completely fine.
Poison: Toalaks have a hallucinogenic toxin coating their skin in accord with their mucous film. If one were to consume moderate to large amounts of their flesh heavy hallucinations would follow before a deep, often fatal coma which may last for weeks. If someone were to actually eat them though they would note a pungent, rotten taste/odor; they do this to avoid being prey. Mild quantities are fine though, it offers only a mere relaxed feeling and hallucinations with passing out following with prolonged, continuous consumption. Toalaks also use the toxin to aid in the capture of their small prey.
Diet: Toalaks are omnivores, typically feeding upon a range of swamp flora with the smaller creatures they descend upon as an ambush predator; they hide in waterways and pounce upon drinkers. Using their primitive teeth and powerful jaw they attack, their toxin renders the catch helpless as they are swallowed whole. Though they wouldn't attempt to attack larger creatures unless cornered halflings and children are plausible prey.
