Grapple Animal Form


Rules Discussion


In Frog form what happens when your grapple an enemy with your tongue and he's 15ft away? Can the enemy attack you even if he only has 5ft of reach? Or can he only try to escape?

The Space entry lists how many feet on a side a creature’s

space is, so a Large creature fills a 10-foot-by-10-foot
space (4 squares on the grid). Sometimes part of a creature
extends beyond its space, such as if a giant octopus is
grabbing you with its tentacles. In that case, the GM will
usually allow attacking the extended portion, even if you
can’t reach the main creature.
A Small or larger creature or
object takes up at least 1 square on a grid, and creatures
of these sizes can’t usually share spaces except in situations
like a character riding a mount. Rules for moving through
other creatures’ spaces appear below.

I believe this is the relevant section.

You can also look at the Boggard type creatures who have special rules for severing their tongues and cludge something together for a similar effect in your game. But I would probably just allow the grabbed creature to attack the main creature in an instance like the one you described.
