Fworts

Fworts are... well... fworts. They are both incredibly ugly and incredibly cute, and incredibly complicated.

General Appearance: A fwort has the general body of a frog, eight eyes, two antenna, two small skin-like wings, a long, white forked tongue, a tail like a crocodile, and sharp teeth. It's two front feet are webbed like that of a frog, and it's two back feet are the same, like a frog's, except they are clawed and more sturdy. They usually weight about 5 lbs or so, and are commonly twice the size of a normal adult human's head, similar to the size of a small-ish dog.

Food: Fworts are carnivores, and usually eat small rodents, birds, insects, and small reptiles and amphibians.

Habitat: Fworts can be found in marshy lands, or near bodies of freshwater. They are nocturnal, and sleep in the water during the day, often underneath a large rock or something similar, where they cannot easily be seen.

Noises: Fworts are usually quiet until around the mating season unless they sense danger, with which they will make an urgent, croaking noise, not unlike that of a crow. Around mating season, which, like all animals, is in the spring, the males will create deep, throaty calls similar to a frog's croaks, but louder, and more clear. As ugly as the creatures are, it is a very beautiful sound to listen to.

Fworts used to be abundant, but their unique shapes made them highly valuable, and they were hunted down to near extinction, like so many of the creatures have been. Not many of this incredible species is left, but the ones that are, seem to stay deeply hidden, far from any humans.
