Hylids

"I won't lie, I don't much care for the Hylids, otherwise known as "frogfolk." I'm not much a fan of frogs, either. Something about them just makes me uncomfortable. That said, all the Hylids I've spoken to in my travels have been more than amiable, and once I got to know them it was quite easy to get past their froggish appearance. I wasn't able to find many rumours about where the Hylids originally came from, sadly. Save the obvious idea that they're somehow related to frogs. All in all, take this as a lesson in not judging people by their appearance.

Physical Traits
Hylids are similar in height to dwarves, ranging from around 4'2 to 5'6 at the tallest. Hylids greatly resemble large, bipedal frogs, and tend to most closely resemble the species of frog native to their birthplace. Though they typically resemble treefrogs, with generally lithe frames and soft, slick skin, some could be described as toad-like, with rougher skin and a more heavyset frame. Hylids have long legs in proportion to the rest of their body, that can be folded up tightly at the knees in order to achieve a higher or longer jump. Their arms and fingers are long, and typically reach the tips of their knees. Hylids do not have teeth, and their ears are more like small holes set into the side of their head.

Hylid skin generally comes in all colours, and can be very dull or very colorful, depending on the environment they were raised in. They also tend to have varying patterns or accents on their skin, that can be equally dull or colorful. Those that are found within the dedpths of Kthonos tend to resemble cave frogs, and have much more vibrant, nearly neon skin compared to their surface brethren.

Hylids are completely hairless, like the frogs they resemble.

Diet
Hylids are technically carnivores. Though due to their lack of teeth, some find if far easier to subsist on a diet of insects. Kthonos-dwelling Hylids, however are not as lacking, and will happily eat the cave-dwelling livestock with their razor-sharp fangs.

Lifespan
Hylids typically live around 60 years.

Reproduction
Hylids lay eggs. Immediately after sex with a suitable partner, Egg-laying Hylids begin ovulating and the eggs emerge from their mouth in clutches of 1-5 a month later. Hylid eggs typically take 4 months to hatch. The resulting infants, fortunately, do not undergo a frog-like metamorphosis.

Population
Hylids have healthy populations within the Aglington Empire, mountain and coastal villages, and in the swampier regions of Magdalene. It's also said that some Hylids choose to live in isolated forest tribes, or with the humans that also dwell there.
