Descended from the Elder Goddess Mugowumpois, the amphibian race of mugwumps originally favored the swamps and marshlands. However, given their great intellect, it was only natural that they gravitated to civilized areas in the pursuit of the more scholarly professions. The facial features of the mugwumps favor their amphibian heritage, giving them a frog-like or salamander-like appearance. However, with the interbreeding of humans, some mugwumps have a surprisingly human-like appearance.
