    Has anyone tried using a Fellwater Troggoth as the base for a slann proxy? I was looking at them today, and think they have a rather squat, reptilian/frog-like appearance. They're proportions are goofy, but so is the slann's. The biggest drawback is you don't have a cool floating palanquin.

    As it turns out I have a Troggoth lying around, somewhat build for converting it to a chariot mount for a Seaguard dinghy.

    This is how fits on the actual palanquin:

    SO it might need some alterations, to both the palanquin and the Troggoth ;)

    Grrr, Imrahil

    Apart from the fish in his hand, and the frills he looks like a mean Slann, and a quite active one :p

    The arm has a nice casters feel to it though.

    Grrr, Imrahil

    How cool. Thanks @Imrahil. Yes, it would be a much angrier and awake slann, but that "caster hand" was part of what interested me. The troggoth doesn't look too bad, but it is MUCH bigger than I realized online. Hmmm...
