New Oe/BX/1E Monster: Mudloc

DESCRIPTION Mudlocs are a race of frog-like semi-humanoids who make their homes in the mud pits of active volcanic areas. They are grayish brown in color and are able to camouflage themselves in active (bubbling) mud pits, allowing them to surprise on a 1-2 (on 1d6) under such conditions. The physiology and dense skin that allows them to live under such extreme conditions further provides them with an immunity to all flame- and heat-based attacks. A mudloc’s main form of attack to is take into their mouths either a large amount of hot (volcanic) mud or a moderately-sized rock (approximately 4-6” in diameter, including hot or flaming rocks), and then “spit” the mud or rock at a target. The amount of damage caused by such attacks is determined by the type of item spit, per below: - rock (normal): 1-4 - hot mud: 1-6 - flaming rock: 2d4 Any attack with a flaming rock does 1/2 damage (or 1d4) to any creature immune to the effects of flame-based attacks.
