An Alternative Slaad

Ideas presented here are partially adapted from Goblin Punch's slaad post, especially in terms of colour-hierarchy.

Slaadi are the multiverse's antibodies against a universe of pure order, and they look like frogs. Both of these points are equally important.

The true face of chaos.

Slaadi are drawn to sources of chaos and unpredictability. They are enraged by stagnation, order, and law. A slaad would get as equally angry over an evenly trimmed lawn as it would over a fully lawful realm. When they find a source of frustration, they seek to change it. They do not destroy it: destruction can come as a result of this change, but the object or person in question must remain in some form post-slaad intervention.

Sometimes the simplest way to change something- or someone- into a more tolerable, unpredictable state is by making the creature of interest into another slaad. Like frogs, slaadi lay jelly-like eggs, which turn into tadpoles and metamorphose into adults. Like non-frogs, slaadi inject their eggs into hosts through their ovipositor-like claws.

An Alternative Kobold

Ribbons of meat falls from the dragon's flank, splattering to the ground in a grotesque cluster. The beast roars in pain and vengeance. Dragons are chaos and sin made manifest, and their whole being is driven by the desire to be mighty and powerful. Their still-warm flesh still holds this drive, and wills itself to continue the pursuit. Slowly and clumsily, the flesh begins to stir, slithering and dragging itself into piles. They wind around each other, grafting into shape.

Kobolds are flesh given thought. Scraps of offal and fatty layers filled with greed, wrath, and envy. One spends its first few hours of existence without bones. As the mass attempts to regenerate, energy is focused into the head, providing a maw to bite and teeth to pierce. The kobold has little need for other bones: all the better to wriggle through gaps and squirm into people's houses.
