Phrogling Field Guide

Every Phrogling we've managed to catalogue. Some are common as garden weeds; others reveal themselves only when they feel like it.

Cobble Croaker
uncommon
Bufo pavimentum

A stout, stone-grey Phrogling that disguises itself as a loose cobblestone and trips people it finds insufficiently interesting.

Habitat:
Old courtyards, garden paths, anywhere with wonky paving
Temperament:
Mischievous, judgmental, secretly affectionate
Dangleez
rare
Pendulus complicatus

A documented Phrogling incident involving one fella suspended from a line while another appeared to be attempting some form of rescue.

Habitat:
Cabinet knobs, curtain cords, shelf edges, and other places where poor decisions can become architectural problems
Temperament:
Distressed, cooperative under pressure, poorly coordinated
Lantern Leaper
legendary
Hyla lucerna

A rare dusk-dwelling Phrogling with a faintly glowing belly, said to guide lost things back to where they belong.

Habitat:
Hedgerows at twilight, the edges of ponds, the last warm step of a porch
Temperament:
Shy, gentle, quietly heroic
Mossback Mumbler
common
Ranula muscosa

A damp, contemplative Phrogling that grows a tiny garden on its own back and mutters weather predictions to nobody in particular.

Habitat:
North-facing windowsills, forgotten plant pots, the underside of garden steps
Temperament:
Grumbly but harmless; deeply opinionated about humidity
Tuffguys
uncommon
Pugnax domesticus

A Phrogling that responds to discovery by standing its ground, puffing itself up, and behaving as though it has already calculated the odds of winning. They ain't got hands. But if they did, they'd be throwin' em.

Habitat:
Open shelves, doorframes, counter edges, and other places where retreat would look embarrassing
Temperament:
Defiant, territorial, deeply convinced
Yellaboiz
common
Clamator domesticus

A Phrogling caught fully off guard. Its first instinct is alarm, volume, and immediate emotional collapse.

Habitat:
Behind mugs, inside planters, under shelves, and anywhere it believed it was completely alone
Temperament:
Startled, expressive, emotionally available against its will
