The Frogface is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest VIII, it is a frog monster with a demonic face on its back.

Characteristics

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.

Appearances

Dragon Quest VIII

Though quite weak in frog form, their attacks become far
more dangerous when they reveal the human faces on
their backs.

Frogfaces appear primarily in the Alexandria region, notably within the Tower of Alexandra. Because of the threat they can pose to low-leveled characters, especially after being provoked into showing their second faces, it is wise to try and defeat them in a single blow by either using strong abilities or psyching up to bolster attacks that normally wouldn't cut it.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

Two faces can be better than one, providing they
can both breathe underwater.

Frogfaces make their second appearance, this time with their backs always facing in battle. They are rank E members of the Demon family and can be found on Fert Isle during the daytime.
