Frog is a creature type used for cards that depict tailless, stout-bodied amphibians.

Description

The creature type includes both the smooth, moist-skinned frog species that live in a damp or semi-aquatic habitat and the warty, drier-skinned toad species that are mostly terrestrial as adults. They appear in blue, black and green. The first creature to bear the type was Whiptongue Frog in Exodus, though Chub Toad from Ice Age was issued errata to become a frog as well.

In the Grand Creature Type Update the subtype Toad (Morgue Toad) was incorporated into the Frog class.

Storyline

Arcavios

Burrogs are frog-folk living on the west coast of Orrithia on Arcavios.

Bloomburrow

Frogs are one of the animalfolk of Bloomburrow, known for their green-blue aligned augurs.

Glarb is the king of the frogfolk and a powerful wizard.

One Glarb’s apprentices, Helga, assists Mabel in her quest to stop the Calamity Beasts.

Dominaria

Anurids are water-dwelling Frog Beasts, native to Otaria. A famous one was Turg.

Yargle, Glutton of Urborg was "born" when a frog ate a transformed ambitious follower of Belzenlok, whose spirit corrupted it into a hulking monstrosity (that was still a frog).

Innistrad

The Gitrog monster is an enormous frog that lived in a lake in the highlands of Nephalia on innistrad. It is now in Thunder Junction.

Grolnok is another massive frog in Nephalia that is worshipped as a deity.

Ixalan

Frogs are more commonly heard than seen in Ixalan, joining their voices to the vivid soundscape of the jungle. They range from tiny poisonous tree frogs found in the branches of tall trees to huge horned frogs that lurk in marshy areas.

Mirrodin

The Frogmite is one of the few natural enemies of the blinkmoth on Mirrodin.

Ravnica

Frogs are a favorite experimental resource for the Simic Combine. The Crocanura is a mutant Crocodile Frog; the Species Gorger is another Frog Beast. Creatures like the Omnibian instead transform their surroundings into frogs. The Trollbred Guardian demonstrates biological fusion into partially-sapient beings.
