Sapopova are an amphibious people with pronounced frog or toad features. While some sapopova believe that they are divinely descended from the animals they resemble, many believe that they are instead the progenitors of frogs and toads. Regardless of their origin, these small humanoids commonly build their homes near ponds, rivers, and other bodies of water where they can maneuver around predators who can’t hunt on both land and water.
Young sapopova are frequently impulsive, testing the outer limits of what they can achieve. Such thrill-seeking activity often leads them to a life of adventure, whether through an altruistic desire to help their community or more avaricious desires to accumulate wealth and power. Sapopova who survive such hazardous lifestyles commonly return to their communities in their adulthood, though some forge new lives in their new communities.
Upon returning, they are compelled to share their stories and experiences to add to the community’s collective memory, which is conveyed in turn to nascent tadpoles. This tradition of passing information through the generations often results in sapopova surprising others with obscure knowledge or profound wisdom.
Sapopova lay eggs in long strands or clusters in their spawning grounds, and they return to these waters at the end of their lives.
