Family of Weedoads

Description

And here comes the interesting task of creating Eldaria's wildlife of fantastic creatures, most of them mythical and mysterious. Here we have the elusive Weedoad.

The weedoad is a burrowing amphibian which inhabits woodlands near any body of water from pond to river to lake. They are shy creatures and spend most of their time underground where they make their homes. A weedoad burrow consists of a single L-shaped tunnel which leads to a small area where the weedoad sleeps and cares for its young once they have moved from their birthplace in the water. Like frogs, they begin life as tadpoles, already sporting the leaf-like antenna which camouflages them in later life. They can sometimes be heard in the heat of summer, singing out their melodic mating calls. They eat a variety of insects and small pond creatures, making them welcome in gardens. There front feet which are mostly used for burrowing are also dexterous enough to hold basic tools such as twigs which they use to forage for certain types of insects.

Nice. So they can easily hide amidst the vegetation?
