The seeress Frogtima is a humanoid frog who lives in the drug-induced haze of Bopalopia.

The highly intelligent Grook are said to be frog-like, but the reasons for the racial similarity (along with the origins of their species) are largely unknown.

Rather than being merely frog-like, the Glubbians and related species of Glubbers of Enverren Marsh are physiologically part frog.

Frogbaiting is a popular game in the more well-appointed arenas of the land.
