According to Volo's Guide to Monsters for the Fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons, "A frohemoth is an amphibious predator as big as an elephant. It lairs in swamps and has four tentacles, a thick rubbery hide, a fang-filled maw with a prehensile tongue, and an extendable stalk sporting three bulbous eyes that face in different directions."
