This oddly shaped battleaxe was created by the ancient frog god Umha as a reward for one of his most powerful frogman champions. The axe is forged from a strange greenish metal which is lighter than steel and is resistant to all corrosive forces. The axe imparts supernatural jumping abilities on the wielder, allowing them to leap a distance equal to their normal movement (30' for humans and Elves, 20' for dwarves and halflings). In combat the axe acts as a +2 magical weapon doing 1d10+2 damage. If the wielder scores a critical hit with the axe, the critical hit is rolled normally, but there is a chance that the axe will inflict additional mutilation to the victim. Roll on the Additional Mutilation Table below:

As with many magic items created by the ancient gods, this one comes with a price. Each time the axe inflicts an additional mutilation (any effect other than None), there is a chance the the frog god Umha will notice the wielder of the axe and grant him or her a "blessing". Roll on the Blessings of Umha Table below:
