The grippli resemble small,
intelligent,
humanoid tree frogs.
They eat insects && fruit.
Grippli hands and feet are adapted for easy movement through tree branches.
They have 700-year life spans and produce few offspring.
Grippli live in swamps and rain forests.
Their gray-green skin gives them a natural camouflage (surprise on 1-4).
They have ultravision for 10" which allows them to operate well both at night and in the daytime.
Grippli are not warlike.
They love bright colors and have been known to make raids on travelers to steal bright clothing for their huts.
They defend themselves with snares, nets, poisoned darts and bolts, and occasionally a sword or dagger.
A few (1%-2%) have psionic power.

A grippli lair is built on the ground and consists of mud and wood huts.
In the lair are 5-30 males,
an equal number of females,
and 1-6 offspring (noncombative).
Also,
the tribe mother (AC7; HD3; DM 1d6+1 + a musk cloud once per day, treat as [stinking cloud]) will be there with 1-3 mates (AC8; HD2; DM + 1d4+1 poison). <edit/clarify>
