Swamp Passage A boggard scout ignores difficult terrain caused by swamp terrain features.

Terrifying Croak ◆ (auditory, emotion, fear, mental) The boggard scout unleashes a terrifying croak. Any non-boggard within 30 feet becomes Frightened 1 unless they succeed at a DC 17 Will save; those who critically succeed are temporarily immune for 1 minute.

Tongue Grab If the boggard scout hits a creature with their tongue, that creature becomes Grabbed by the boggard. Unlike with a normal Grab, the creature isn't Immobilized, but it can't move beyond the reach of the boggard's tongue. A creature can sever the tongue by hitting AC 13 and dealing at least 2 slashing damage. Though this doesn't deal any damage to the boggard, it prevents them from using their tongue Strike until they regrow their tongue, which takes a week.
