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

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+2 Electricity damage (Strongman included) 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.
