Tiddalik
A myth-sized frog hoards water until it can barely move, ready to burst into a swamping flood at a joke, a death, or its own choosing.
A tiddalik is an enormous frog of myth that swells grotesquely with stored water, hoarding it until laughter or death makes it let go in a flood. A waterlogged tiddalik can barely move, but the deluge it carries can swamp everything around it.
In play
Deluge A creature can provoke a waterlogged tiddalik (see Drink Abundance below) into laughing and releasing its stored water with a successful DC 25 check to Perform a joke or funny story. The tiddalik also disgorges its water automatically if it dies while waterlogged, or can voluntarily Deluge as a three-action activity that has the concentrate trait.
The mass of stored water swamps a 10-foot emanation, dealing 8d6 bludgeoning damage to creatures in the area (DC 25 basic Reflex save) and making the area difficult terrain for 1 day. The tiddalik can't use its spit Strike or Expel Wave until it next Drinks in Abundance.
