A species of giant frog that possesses the ability to blink at will. It can blink itself close to its intended prey, or blink itself away to escape harm. It is commonly found in packs.

Useful Info

Blink frogs are dangerous pack creatures which blink constantly and are immune to distortion effects (20% of the time, distortion actually heals them). 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.

Spells: Blink

Tips & Tricks

  • 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 conjurations like Fireball or LRD work well against them.
  • The following cold attacks may slow them: weapons of freezing, Ozocubu's Refrigeration and Freeze.
  • 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.
