# [Grung Elite Warrior](Rules\Source\bestiary\humanoid/grung-elite-warrior-mpmm.md) *Source: Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse p. 150* A grung elite warrior typically leads a group of grung and other warriors into battle and is often accompanied by a grung wildling. ## Grungs Grungs are frog-like folk found in rain forests and tropical jungles. These amphibians prefer shade and live in trees, but they maintain hatcheries for their offspring in well-guarded ground-level pools. About three months after hatching, a grung tadpole takes on the shape of an adult, and after another six months, the grung reaches maturity. Born in a wide range of colors, grungs most often appear in shades of green, blue, purple, red, orange, and gold. All grungs secrete a substance that is harmless to them but poisonous to other creatures, and sometimes that substance has a special effect based on the grung's color (see "Variant: Grung Poison"). They also use this venom to poison their weapons. ```statblock "name": "Grung Elite Warrior (MPMM)" "size": "Small" "type": "humanoid" "alignment": "Any alignment" "ac": !!int "13" "hp": !!int "49" "hit_dice": "9d6 + 18" "modifier": !!int "3" "stats": - !!int "7" - !!int "16" - !!int "15" - !!int "10" - !!int "11" - !!int "12" "speed": "25 ft., climb 25 ft."
