 ==Useful Info==
-'''Blink frogs''' are dangerous pack creatures which blink around constantly. Their attacks deal enough damage to make them lethal to most low-level characters foolish enough to let themselves be surrounded. They commonly appear in [[the Lair]].

+*As fast enemies that come in swarms, blink frogs are dangerous to low [[AC]] characters. Due to the constant [[blink]]ing, these frogs have a tendency to flank you, block your escape route, or do both at the same time. Their blinking also makes it hard to approach them in melee.
-*Take advantage of the turns spent blinked away to attack at range. [[Poison]] and [[Sticky Flame]] are effective; even poison [[dart]]s can work at 0 skill. Area-of-effect spells, such as [[Fireball]], [[Freezing Cloud]], or [[LRD]], can hit multiple frogs while bypassing their high [[EV]].
+*They'll often blink away from you, which you can take advantage of with ranged attacks.
 *Blink frogs are [[cold-blooded]], making them vulnerable to slowing from [[cold]] attacks like [[Frozen Ramparts]] or weapons of [[freezing]].
 *Confusing them, either via the [[Confusing Touch]] spell or [[Mephitic Cloud]], keeps them from blinking.

-*They [[blink]] constantly, making them difficult to engage in melee, and have high enough EV to make misses common. Take advantage of the turns they spend blinked away to attack them at range. [[Poison]] and unavoidable [[conjuration]]s like [[Fireball]] or [[LRD]] work well against them. [[Sticky Flame]] is great since it has perfect accuracy and will keep dealing damage even if they blink away. If you don't have anything better, [[Magic Dart]] works well despite its low damage, since it will never miss.

 *If you alert an entire pack and don't feel up to taking them on, retreat may be advisable. Even with their speed advantage, their blinking makes it easy to climb stairs without luring up more than one at a time.
