Aeriscan Giant Frog

Aeriscan Giant Frogs (Aeriscan: Ranga Umaia Aerisciano) are endemic to the marshlands of the Aeriscan continent. As per their name, Aeriscan Giant Frogs are just like other common varieties of frogs excepting their immense size. It is hotly debated among Telian sages if their large size is due to natural or supernatural causes.
