-A frog made of living crystal. (Gpx-Saurian Wasteland)
+{{ ::jpg_ad_4_cmyk_final.png?400|}}
+A gigantic frog made of living crystal. Clearly from another [[planes|plane]], it currently lives in a [[subterranean_lake|subterranean lake]] in the [[saurian_wasteland|Saurian Wasteland]].
+In order to appease the creature, [[saurian_priests|Saurian priests]] offer sacrifices of dead citizens. They are dropped from [[dunshab_lakebed|Dunshab Lakebed]] above into the [[subterranean_lake|lake]] below. Assuming incorrectly, the frog is not interested in devouring the bodies it is fed. Instead, it is drawn to the treasures that arrive with the bodies.
+>//Inside the beast’s mouth is like the center of a geode: crystal structures grow all around, slowly enveloping and dissolving the treasures this beast has consumed.//
+>
+>//It closes its mouth, crushing you against the rough walls of its throat, then spits you back to shore.// - Saurian Wasteland (GS-ADV5)

+{{ ::crystaline_frog3.png?300|}}
+You find the crystalline frog in the center of the [[subterranean_lake|subterranean lake]] in the Saurian Wasteland. It is surrounded by floating corpses, dropped from above by the [[saurian_priests|Saurian priests]].
+In its mouth, you spy the [[durgolium_box|durgolium box]] that [[zug|Zug]] had been carrying. You believe this artifact is important to your quest.
+  * Fight the frog.
+    * You defeat the beast and are able to claim the [[durgolium_box|box]].
+    * You are nearly drowned. The frog retreats deeper into the water, never to resurface.
+  * Use an item.
+    * Trial and error reveals the secret. The [[ornate_censer|ornate censer]] will allow you to put the frog to sleep, if used correctly.
