Gorloc

Gorlocs are voracious frog-like creatures that dwell in the fungal marshes of Veridius.They are primitive creatures, barely concerned with anything that isn't hunting and eating. While their gawky bodies might make the gorlocs seem weak and hardly worthy of a battle, their huge mouths, armed with strong teeths, are capable of biting anything that comes within range. Even basilisks and serpents are wary of gorlocs. They are restless and, unlike all the other sapient creatures of Veridius, enjoy violence. Above all else they enjoy eating things, to the point they might even eat their own children. They prefer to swallow small creatures whole, preferably while they are still alive.

The gorlocs of Veridius are mutated frogs, created by a crazed fungal giant. In exchange, they worship the now degenerated giant as a demigod and it is possibly the only thing they would never bite. The gorlocs are loathed by the hayuks, as the frog-like beings don't scruple eating the hayuks' babies. The Gorlocs, in turn, attack the Hayuk everytime they can. The fungal giants don't like the gorlocs either, as they appear like abominations in their eyes.
