The frogface is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, it is a frog monster that hides a demonic face on its back.

Characteristics[edit]

At first glance, frogfaces are just magenta-colored frogs with two horns poking up from behind their heads. However, once attacked, they will turn around and reveal the yellow-eyed, blue-tongued face on their backs. If attacked again, they will turn back around to being primarily frogs. As they first appear, frogfaces pose no true threat. They can only execute a weak attack or runaway while acting as frogs. It is when the back-situated face is shown that the monster becomes dangerous: its basic attack becomes much stronger and it gains the ability to cast spells and use breath attacks. The frogface and its amphibious brethren are part of the bug family in their debut title, oddly enough, but are members of the demon family in the Monsters games due to their faces.
