Gray slaad

Gray slaadi were powerful slaad shapechangers and spellcasters.

Description
Compared to the common slaadi, gray slaads were relatively small and lean, appearing as frog-like humanoids that stood tall. They seemed swifter as well as skinnier and had long, clawed fingers. Some said their gray complexion was spotted while earlier it was claimed to be even and light.

Personality
Gray slaads shared the same power-hungry obsession with magic that their former selves did, but to an even greater degree. They were so fascinated by magic that they no longer cared about the activities of the lesser red, blue and green varieties, devoting all their attention to their studies. Some trained as sorcerers to bring out their inherent magical ability while others enjoyed augmenting their power by crafting magical items, but most sought the virtually immortal might of the death slaads.

Combat
They could wield greatswords and imbue them with their own magic.

Society
Grey slaadi were servants of the death slaadi and often carried out their errands in the Prime Material Plane, often disguised as humanoids.

Ecology
Gray slaadi were the result of a [green slaad having learned a magical procedure to transform permanently into a stronger form, while retaining all their memories from their previous forms. If a gray slaad devoured the corpse of a death slaad it would become a death slaad itself.
