Frog
Represents: False Doctrines; Misleading Signs & Wonders
Biblically frogs and toads are treated as the same kind of creature and are among the list of unclean creatures. As nocturnal creatures, Frogs are associated with darkness and evil. The specific imagery we use for frogs draws heavily from the spirits like frogs that proceed from the mouths of the dragon, beast, and false prophet. They performed signs and wonders to draw the kings of the world to an unholy battle. Frogs are actually stealthy and slip in sometimes without notice like the falsehoods they promote. They also have a high resistance and can be hard to remove, like a well rooted false doctrine. They will use miraculous signs to cause other to believe lies and reinforce the sentiment by singing Minstrel Songs from the Dread Family: Dread, Terror, and Trepidation to add to the effect. They can lash out for a mid-range attack with their tongue.
Special Abilities
Frogs are skilled persuaders and can employ their Boundless Spark to make more frequent attempts to influence others. Frogs may perform two Social Interactions each Turn instead of only one.

Frogs are Rooted, being just as stubborn to remove as the lies the encourage. Frogs gain 7 Adjustments vs. being Perceived. They also gain 1 Adjustment to any Resist Checks they make.
[In Dry Bones, only Rooted is in Effect and there are no Perception Interactions.]
Weapons
Frogs use their long, bludgeoning tongue to lash out at their enemies. While the Frog is singing, they can only do this once during each Turn.

Attributes
Frogs are treated as Minstrels but have exceptional Endurance, receiving an additional 21 at 1st Domain, this increases to 40 at 2nd Domain, 80 at 3rd Domain, and 144 once becoming a Frog Beast.
Frogs also gain +2 Skill to Affirm/Aim Social Interactions.
[In Dry Bones, there are no Social Interactions.]
Size and Mutations
Frogs fit the standard rules of Occupying Space for elohim. However, the height is of course skewed when not standing upright. Also, like all bestial elohim, Frogs will gain varying Mutations when increasing in Tier.
The example below shows a sampling of Frogs increasing from 1st Domain to Frog Beast. In this instance, the Mutations gained in order are: Membranous Wings, Meaty Claws, and Devouring Mandibles.
