Cactoads deal 1d6+1 damage with unarmed attacks, and when one is struck with an unarmed attack, the attacker takes 1d6+1 Physical damage.

Cactoads have a Spine Tongue weapon with a range of 20m/100m that deals 1d8-1 Physical damage. When it successfully wounds a target with this weapon, the target is pulled adjacent to the Cactoad.

They also have a Heavy Skull-Shattering Croak weapon, which attacks all other creatures in a 10 meter blast for 1d10 Noise damage and deafens creatures for one round per wound. Skull-Shattering Croaks can be heard from 1000 meters away.

Advancement

Cactode (6 points): The Cactoad's croak is as soothing as it is loud. Any creature wounded by it must make a Will save or be stunned for 1 round. The radius of its croak increases by 5 meters. It gains two Advanced Specialties and becomes a [ Pink ] creature.

Cactrodes (10 points): Certain species of Cactoad have bulbs at the ends of their spines. These Cactoads, when struck with any attack by a creature 10 meters or less away, deal 1d6 Electricity damage to that creature. This replaces the damage for being struck by an unarmed attack that Cactoads normally deal. It gains four Advanced Specialties and becomes a [ Blue ] creature.
