Feeling sorry for the toads that were trampled on the paths of Windurst Waters, Samariri (the eccentric frog princess) cast a spell that made the toads grow and allowed them to walk on two feet. The Poroggo eventually learned the Tarutaru language and the arts of magic and saw themselves as brothers and sisters to the people of Vana'diel, but the Windurstian military quickly disposed of what they saw as a threat, which explains why in the past frogs could be seen outside of Windurst, but in modern times they are absent.
Physical Description: Poroggo are extremely small creatures, barely reaching 2.5 feet at their tallest. The most obvious physical characteristic beyond that is the fact they're bipedal toads. This means that they often possess extremely vibrant colouration, appearing in hues of reds, blues, greens, yellows, oranges and so on and so forth. Like normal toads, Poroggo spend the first month and a half of their life as tadpoles.
Society: Poroggo are highly communal creatures, living together and learning the magical arts together.
Relations: Poroggo are often regarded as "beastmen" by the so-called "enlightened" races. This often causes tensions between them and other races.
Alignment and Religon: Poroggo can theoretically be of any alignment, but due to their constant assaults by the Taru often mean that good-aligned Poroggo are somewhat rare. Poroggo worship no gods, but do give thanks to the so-called "Frog Princess" for their current existence.
Adventurers: Poroggo adventure mainly to get away from Windurst and have no interest in prolonging the war.

Other Racial Traits:
Amphibious: Poroggo breathe water as easily as they breathe air.
Small Build: The physical stature of Poroggo lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category smaller. Whenever a Poroggo is subject to a size modifier (such as when making stealth checks), the Poroggo is treated as one size smaller if doing so is advantageous to him. A Poroggo is also considered to be one size category smaller when “squeezing” through a restricted space. Poroggo are still considered small creatures for the purposes of determining the size bonus to AC and attack rolls, however. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.
Favoured Class Bonus:
Black Mage: Reduce the amount of rest a black mage needs to recover MP by 10 minutes. MP spent within eight hours of recovering MP still counts against the MP he can recover.
