A huge beetle, rust-black with a dull bronze edge, rolling a cracked sallow clay jar taller than itself
A huge beetle rolling a cracked clay jar taller than itself.
Every frog gets the same experience for it, whatever your own level (only your stamina changes it: half again when rested, half when worn out). When several frogs hurt it, they share it by how much damage each did; a party with shared experience on gets 20 % more, and 10 % more again for each different calling in it.
Where and when
The hard bed of the Dry Arm, in the Sallow Sands.
How it fights
It is slow until it isn't. It rears back and the jar rocks: that is your warning. Then it runs the jar at you in a long straight line. Step aside and it misses. Hurt it enough and the jar breaks, and it turns on you with no jar and more than twice the speed. It does not roll any more.
