description: 'The slurk is a sticky, tusked frog-beast found in underground lairs
  and caves. It has two massive tusks, which it uses to gore prey and tangle with
  rival slurks. With the slurk''s natural ability to climb walls and cling effortlessly
  to ceilings, it can be easy for unwary cave explorers to end up on the wrong end
  of the beast''s formidable ivory tusks.




  Slurks exude two very different types of foul-smelling secretions from their pale
  white skin. Large pustules on the slurk''s back drip a sticky resin-like slime that
  quickly hardens upon exposure to air. By flexing its skin, the slurk can burst these
  pustules in the direction of intruders, covering its foes in sticky goo and severely
  limiting their ability to withstand the monster''s other attacks, including the
  effects of its other secretion. Glands along the slurk''s ventral side excrete an
  incredibly slippery and fetid grease, which protects the slurk from the immobilizing
  effects of its own back slime but also has the added benefit of making it extremely
  difficult to grapple and capture. The best way to discover if a slurk is in the
  vicinity is to look for hard clumps of such grease, which accumulate and dry in
  cave corners and amid rock piles where the slurk rests between meals.




  Slurks are thought to be descendants of a failed dwarven attempt to domesticate
  and breed large subterranean frogs as food and labor animals. Despite this apparent
  failure, slurks are often befriended by others who live underground. The sticky
  frog-beasts have proven extremely desirable to kobolds, who now domesticate and
  train slurks as powerful mounts and guardians. While other creatures, particularly
  boggards, sometimes train slurks to serve as guardians, kobolds remain those who
  use these creatures the most. A kobold mounted on a slurk will often hide in the
  upper ledges of a cave, using the advantages of height and surprise to harry foes
  with ranged attacks. Kobold riders also take advantage of the slurk''s ability to
  climb, and charge at their enemies from the walls of a cavern.
