A large and unusually aggressive amphibian that can cover distance rapidly by hopping.

"Hello my baby! Hello my honey! Hello my ragtime gal!
Send me a kiss by wire. Baby my heart's on fire!
If you refuse me, honey, you'll lose me; then you'll be left alone.
Oh baby, telephone, and tell me I'm your own."

-Ida Emerson and Joseph E. Howard, "Hello My Baby!"

Useful Info

Giant frogs are fast-moving amphibians that have meager offensive abilities, but which can be a threat to very low-level characters. They are usually found in the early-mid Dungeon and the Lair, but can appear as out-of-depth foes very early. Also, one Sewers ending contains two giant frogs.

Tips & Tricks

A giant frog's speed makes escaping them difficult, particularly when they're encountered in water. If you know you can't outrun them to a staircase you can race up or door that you can close, spend your actions hitting them with throwing weapons or wands. Simply running won't accomplish anything.
