Imagine a mouth large enough to swallow a human whole. Attach a couple of beady eyes and toss it in the muck, and there’s your beelzebuf. Luckily they are rare, though we hear more and more reports about them coming out of the murkier places of the southeast.
They resemble an angry, giant, mutated toad and they are always hungry. Even with their large size, they are fast, very fast. A long spear or pike is a good starting weapon. If it swallows you, well… better hope you can cut your way out with whatever blade you have on you!

Tongue
A beelzebuf’s tongue is an attack with reach equal to 40 feet. The tongue itself deals no damage on a hit but can be used to grab.
Grab
When hit with an attack that also does grab, the attacker and defender must roll a Heroic Action. If the defender loses, they become grappled. They must succeed at a Heroic Action during their turn to free themselves.
Blinding Venom
A beelzebuf can spit a glob of venom up to 40 feet. This sticky liquid covers the target and can cause blindness for 2d4 rounds. The target can negate the blindness with a difficultYour skill is halved when a task is harder than average, whi... More CON saveRolling a characteristic to resist an effect or spell. More.
Swallow Whole
If a beelzebuf has grappled an opponent with its tongue, it can then swallow the opponent as a free action (if Medium or smaller in size) at the beginning of its turn. It can only have one victim swallowed at a time. Once swallowed, the victim takes 1d6 acid damage per round. The victim can try to climb out with a Heroic Action or damage the beelzebuf from the inside, usually by cutting one’s way out (the beelzebuf has the same HPA measure of the relative health of your character, represen...

The constricted nature of being inside a beelzebuf restricts the victim to the use of one-handed weapons only.
