Hold Breath: A boggard can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 40 (4 minutes) plus four times its Constitution score before it risks drowning.
Sticky Tongue: A creature hit by a boggard’s tongue attack cannot move more than 10 feet away from the boggard and takes a –2 penalty to Defense while the tongue is attached (this penalty does not stack if multiple tongues are attached). The tongue can be removed by making an opposed Strength check as a standard action or by dealing any amount of slashing damage. The boggard cannot move more than 10 feet away from the target while its tongue is attached, but a boggard can release its tongue as a free action. While attached, neither the boggard nor its target are considered grappled. A boggard’s tongue attack is always considered a natural attack.
Swamp Stride: A boggard can move through any sort of natural difficult terrain at its normal speed while within a swamp. Magically altered terrain affects a boggard normally.
Terrifying Croak: Once per hour, a boggard can, as a standard action, emit a loud and horrifying croak. Any non-boggard creature within 30 feet of the boggard must make a DC 13 Will save or become shaken for 2 rounds. Creatures that succeed at this save cannot be affected again by the same boggard’s croak for 24 hours. Creatures that are already shaken become frightened for 2 rounds instead. The save DC is Charisma-based and includes a +2 racial bonus.
Skills: Boggards have a +16 racial bonus on Jump checks, a +4 racial bonus on Notice checks, and a +8 racial bonus on Stealth checks made in swamps.
