A large and unusually aggressive amphibian that can cover distance rapidly by hopping. “Hello, my baby Hello, my honey Hello, my ragtime gal Send me a kiss by wire Baby, my hearts on fire If you refuse me Honey, you’ll lose me Then you’ll be left alone Oh baby, telephone And tell me I’m your own.” -Ida Emerson and Joseph E. Howard, “Hello My Baby!”

Useful Info

Bullfrog are fast-moving amphibians that have meager offensive abilities, but which can be a threat to very low-level characters. They are usually found in the early-mid Dungeon and the Lair, but can appear as out-of-depth foes very early. Also, a couple Sewers endings contain two bullfrogs.

Tips & Tricks

A bullfrog's speed makes escaping them difficult, particularly when they're encountered in water. If you know you can't outrun them to a staircase or door that you can close, spend your actions hitting them with throwing weapons or wands. Simply running won't accomplish anything.
