Frog2

A small tree frog from the rainforests of the Mûmakan in the south of Middle-earth, the umak was notable for the potent contact poison umakilis exuded by its colorful skin. Bright lime green and streaked with yellow and orange, the umak tree frog was noticeable, but it was so rare that it was still nearly impossible to spot.

The bright coloring warned away animal and bird predators who would be poisoned upon grabbing the frog in their beaks or mouths, but merely made things easier for clever Men or Elf hunters who wished to extract the poison and who came armed with nets on long handles. The poison was tenth level in contact with skin; unlucky individuals were killed instantly , while the more fortunate are plunged into a coma until awakened by some form of antidote.
