The Worg (left) is a wolf-like creature, knows 2 or 3 languages, and are known for turning on thier riders if mistreated! Last they bothered listing the size they were 3 ft (91 cm) at the shoulder, 5 ft (1.5 m) long. But the picture shows it at nearly twice that, around 5 ft (1.5m) tall and 8 ft (2.4 m) long. Whichever works for you I suppose, maybe it's regional.
On the right, the Red Slaad, the most basic of the 8 ft (2.4 m) chaos toads of the chaos dimension. Nothing going on other than what you see, and these ones give you a whole 3 months to get to a clinic if you accidentally get scratched, so much less danger of getting toad pregnant.
[For the slaadi, I’m going to use the 5e art for most of the classics. I’ve never been terribly satisfied with their artistic interpretations until the 5th Edition Monster Manual, save for the Sam Wood image of the blue and death slaadi from the 3.0 Monster Manual.]
Slaad, Red
CR 6 CN Aberration
This toad-like humanoid stands taller than a man. Its skin is bright red, it has barely any neck, and its hands end in hooked claws.
Red slaadi are among the most numerous of the slaad types. They are physically powerful but stupid, and live their lives much like predatory beasts. Many of them try to hide from the attention of more intelligent slaadi, which would corral their actions and force them into boring routines. Red slaadi are foolish creatures, easily avoided or deceived by those that are paying attention. Glands underneath their claws produce tiny pellets, all but unnoticeable to those scratched, that grows inside a victim and emerges as a larval slaad. Most red slaadi resent the larger and stronger blue slaadi that grow from these larvae, but need the disease the blue slaadi spread to reproduce themselves.
In combat, a red slaad attempts to claw as many victims as possible, spreading its pellets to multiple hosts in the hope of generating more young. After a few rounds of attacking multiple targets, they will focus fire on a single, meaty-looking, foe to kill and consume. Although they do sometimes gather into gangs or packs, especially when directed to by a more powerful slaad, red slaadi do not cooperate well with one another and typically do not aid each other’s attacks.
A red slaad stands about eight feet tall and weighs six hundred pounds.

Special Abilities
Implant (Ex) A creature struck by a red slaad’s claw attack must succeed a DC 17 Fortitude save or have a slaad pellet implanted in its body. The pellet incubates for one week, before hatching into a slaad larva, killing its host instantly. 24 hours before hatching, the pellet begins to draw nutrients from the host, granting it a -10 penalty to all ability scores (minimum 1). A successful remove disease or similar effect against the implant save DC removes the pellet, as does a successful DC 25 Heal check performed over the course of 10 minutes. Regardless of whether the Heal check succeeds or fails, it deals 1d4 damage to the host. The save DC is Constitution based.
Stunning Croak (Su) Once per day as a standard action, a red slaad can croak horribly. All creatures within 20 feet must succeed a DC 17 Fortitude save or be stunned for 1d3 rounds. This is a sonic effect, and the save DC is Constitution based.
So I painted some Slaads. I dont think there are any other slaads outside of the grey & death breeds that have minis so i bought another set and carved em up, added some green stuff and made a red and blue slaad. The claws that were on the red, cut them off and attached to the blue one, and made the spikes look like the rocky scales that blues have. Im quite happy with how the altered ones came out, as admittedly ameture as they look.
