slaad

Slaadi are chaotic creatures originating from the Plane of Chaos in many fantasy role-playing games. They are often depicted as toad-like humanoids with a wide, toothy grin and a notoriously aggressive disposition. Slaadi are known for their unpredictable nature and their role as agents of chaos. Their appearance can vary, with different colors often indicating their relative power and age. For example, blues are typically stronger than greens, and chaos knights, a particularly potent form, are often depicted as red or grey.

These beings are masters of adaptation and often transform through a unique life cycle. When a slaad is wounded by a slaad tadpole, it can infect the victim, leading to their eventual metamorphosis into a new slaad. This process reinforces their chaotic nature, as it spreads their influence and further destabilizes any order. Slaadi reproduce by laying eggs, often through means that involve infecting other creatures. Their goals are typically centered on spreading chaos and destruction, acting as unpredictable forces that disrupt any semblance of order. They do not typically engage in complex planning or strategy, relying more on brute force and their inherent chaotic abilities. Their presence is often a sign of instability and the encroaching influence of the Plane of Chaos.
