SnareWeaverLANDVERTICALhumanoidtripkeepoisondivine

Baneback gripplis with innate magical ability may find themselves drawn to vile magic dealing with poison, vermin, and ill luck. Those who revel in the dreadful legends surrounding their kind often worship evil gods or demons associated with poison, tattooing themselves with mystic symbols to gain powerful control over toxins. Gripplis are small, frog-like humanoids native to tropical rainforests. Most gripplis live in tight-knit treetop villages and survive primarily as hunters and gatherers.
