Poison dart frogs are any of a number of tiny, brightly-colored frogs whose skin secretes a potent toxin. Creatures who come into direct skin-to-skin contact with the creatures, or who make attacks with natural weapons against them, are affected by the secreted poison. In the case of a poison dart frog swarm, the “attack” represents the chance of coming into direct contact with enough members of the swarm to be affected. Giant poison dart frogs are otherwise treated like giant frogs. A thief can recover 1d3 doses of poison from a normal poison dart frog with a successful Handle Poison check. There will be 2d8 normal frogs recoverable after a swarm is dispersed. A giant poison dart frog can yield 2d6 doses of toxin. Other Names: Dart frog, dart-poison frog, poison arrow frog, or poison frog.
