Element Toads Unite!

I wrote most of this nov 2021 then fussed over elemental occult bollucks before happy

Of course, the coolest way to die in dnd is to be eaten by a giant amphibian but until now you only have had fire toads and ice toads which is a travesty I will fix. So I'm just gonna make a generic element toad with four sub-species and ignore traditional sources. I'm a bit inspired by Temple of Elemental evil new hardbacks after reading New Nodes in 5th ed speak. If run as ad&d would be tough pretty tough. One of the best things about this classic adventure is starting as nobodies in a small village and affecting the local area then go through the temple from 1st to 8th Lv. My elemental hybridism isn't quite gygaxian

A frog book will likely happen. Maybe a present for me from myself.

So these were inspired by spirit of originals but gone awol. They probably tie in with the elemental amphibian cults. Most amphibians are linked to earth air and water but a few weirdos do fire and like deserts and volcanoes.

They can use their hands or mouth to grapple prey and then get an auto hit next bite attack
They can make multiple bites in a round if they wish to try and swallow prey whole
They can kick anyone attacking from behind

Swallowed prey is helpless, make a save vs drowning and take bite damage each round without counting as attack actions from the toad. Feel free to allow heroic action to escape or make the toad vomit them up like roll under half strength on d20 to move or make a dagger attack. Friends grabbing legs might help or forcing the mouth open or other creative actions might apply. 

Elemental toads are planar beings from the earliest formation of the universe. Their tadpoles are spawned in elemental material. Each element type is immune to attacks of a similar element and can swim through the material freely.  Each breed also can spit elemental matter and has other elemental powers. They eat their own eggs to brood their young and release tadpoles in a suitable elemental location. On the borders between inner worlds, elemental toads can hybridize. Most are neutral but some have extreme alignments
