The duergar! As a refresher, duergar are surly and dour dwarves. About 4-5 ft (1.2-1.5 m) tall, they're distrustful but loyal and hardworking. They live quiet lives working thier ass off but taking no pleasure from it, the closest thing to joy coming thier special interest hobbies. This particular one has become hybridized with a machine! Would you screw a drillbot cyborg fueled by pain? Seriously, it's fueled by pain somehow, slap them and they'll go faster.

And on the right, the full version of the Grung! Grungs are 3 ft (91 cm) sentient poison tree frog people. Generally aggressive and territorial creatures that live in a (usually) matriarchal caste based society based on color (though your role and color can actually change if you do well enough). The color actually does matter, as it determines the powers their poison holds!

Green poison only lets you move by jumping and climbing. they're the warrior caste.

Blue grung are artisans and childcare workers, and thier poison compels you to make loud noises.

Purples are supervisors, thier poison fills you with the overwhelming urge to soak in water or mud

Reds are mages, usually of primal or divine magic, and make you need to eat anything edible in sight.

Orange are elite guards and make you scared of your friends.

And gold grungs are warrior rulers whose poison...makes you love grungs and instantly fluent thier language. somehow.

Slithering Tracker

On the left, the Slithering Tracker! In 5e this is a person so motivated by revenge that they turn thier all the moisture in thier body into an ooze! It can grapple you, suffocate you in its mass, disguise itself as a puddle, and track people down by licking the floor! Would it surprise you that it's primarily hags who know how to make these?
