Grippli Name Generator

Grippli are the small, shy, tree-dwelling frog-folk who first hopped into AD&D's Monster Manual II in 1983 and found their fullest treatment as a playable ancestry in Pathfinder, where they live in the rainforests and swamps of the Mwangi Expanse. Pathfinder's sample names set the tone: Kreetah, Glick, Merrep, Treeto, Dreeta, Wuzzy, Zruuk. Those are tree-frog sounds rather than bullfrog sounds, so a grippli name should peep and click instead of croak. Long ee and oo vowels, light k, t and p consonants, doubled letters and endings in -ik, -ep, -et or -ah all read as grippli; anything built on deep gl-, gr- and ub- belongs to a grung or bullywug instead.

Grippli society is tribal, quiet and matriarchal in most lore, organized around elders, hunters with poisoned darts and a strong attachment to a particular stretch of canopy. That gives you the second half of a name: a descriptive byname from the treetops (Leafcling, Dewback, Vinehand), a tribe marker tied to a landmark (of the Mist Pools, of the Hollow Log) or a deed name earned over a lifetime (Who Caught the Heron). Pathfinder's grippli heritages, Poisonhide, Snaptongue, Stickytoe and Windweb, also work as bynames.

Names here are kept short enough to chirp twice quickly, which is how a grippli would actually say them.
