For decades, these amphibians have graced video games and have made their way into our hearts one ribbit at a time. Whether lovable characters or dangerous enemies, they’re sure to bring a smile to your face and have solidified their place in gaming history.

The many species of real-life frogs have inspired bright and colorful characters – these adorable creatures are just perfect for creating versatile yet classic designs that stick with you beyond the game’s ending. Their unique designs and memorable interactions make these frogs scene-stealers in their respective series, but which ones stand out the most? Let’s hop to it.

10 Playing The Leapers’ Game: Dixiefrog (The World Ends With You And NEO: The World Ends With You)

Did you know that a group of frogs is called an army? Well, you wouldn’t want an army of these frogs on your tail. These powerful frogs will hop around your screen, using their hind legs to propel themselves in your direction.

They stand out from other frogs because of their connection to the game’s Noise, giving them a striking appearance that resembles a tattoo. They’re quite formidable, but they’re nothing Neku and his partner can’t handle, using psychs to quickly eliminate these pesky amphibians.

9 A Family Man: Atul (Spiritfarer)

This caring and supportive frog helps Stella bring other spirits to the Everdoor, easing their regrets along the way. He’s one of the first spirits to join you on your boat and provides you with lots of company throughout your journey – making his eventual departure even more emotional.

Unlike the other spirits aboard Stella’s ship, this frog will never turn down a meal and is always happy with what you give him. His large body is perfect for hugging, especially when you’ve said goodbye to a dear friend.

8 Having A Blast: Kaeru (Kero Blaster)

Kero Blaster is a classic-style 2D platform game developed by Daisuke “Pixel” Amaya, most well known for his earlier game, Cave Story. This frog-themed game has you controlling a bipedal frog janitor that blows away enemies using different weapons, dealing with the obstacles thrown at him in a quick and efficient way.

This game lives up to the retro games it’s based on, being a fun and sometimes challenging experience that’s made even greater by its green protagonist. Kaeru is adorable, possibly taking his looks from Daisuke Amaya’s Ame Manga, but he is also efficient combat-wise, performing his duty of cleaning out Negativus Legatia with skill.

7 Always Remember To Save: Save Frogs (Mother 3)

The Save Frogs from Mother 3 allow you to save your gameplay progress, and withdraw or deposit DP in the game, changing the Telephones and ATMs of previous installments in the series.

There is a multitude of different versions of the Save Frogs scattered across the Nowhere Islands, such as a ghost frog, a magic butterfrog, and a driving frog. Their diverse designs are an entertaining element of Mother 3, and they’re extremely helpful, ensuring your game is saved while providing you with all your amphibious needs.

6 The Fabulous Five Froggish Tenors (Ocarina Of Time)

You’ll find these fabulous frogs in Zora’s River as Young Link when completing a side quest in Ocarina of Time. If you play your Ocarina for these colorful frogs, they’ll leap out of the water and hop along to the notes you play. If you play Zelda’s Lullaby, Epona’s Song, Saria’s Song, the Sun’s Song, or the Song of Time, the frogs will grow in size. You’ll want to play the Song of Storms though: not only does it summon rain, but it will also make the frogs give you a Piece of Heart.

After the frogs have grown, you can play your Ocarina to help them eat butterflies, rewarding you with another Piece of Heart. They have a good taste in music as the songs in Ocarina of Time are some of the greatest in the Zelda series, and these amphibians also provide you with helpful rewards for interacting with them.

5 Is It A Bird? Is It A Plane? No, It’s Superfrog (Superfrog)

Superfrog is a 2D platform game from the 90s that involves you defeating a witch to rescue a princess in a twist on the Frog Prince fairy tale. Superfrog lives up to his heroic name, sporting a red cape to compliment his simple green design.

Superfrog is one of the most underrated video game frogs, but the game did see an HD version in 2013, showing that there is still love for this amphibious hero, despite the game’s eventual delisting. Whatever the case may be, Superfrog is an important staple of 90s gaming and deserves praise for being a solid use of the 2D platform style.

4 The King (‘s Rock) Of Frogs: Politoed (Pokemon)

Politoed is a Water-type Pokemon from Generation 2. Its curled hair, pink cheeks, and belly swirl make it an adorable Pokemon to have on your team, as well as a powerful ally if used correctly – you’ll definitely want to teach it Belly Drum for that sweet Attack boost.

Politoed’s Pokedex entry tells of how it uses its croaks to summon Poliwag and Poliwhirl, who gather from far and wide to obey their leader. This makes sense as it evolves from Poliwhirl when traded while holding a King’s Rock. As far as frog kings go, Politoed is one of the most adorable, and fans of this Pokemon wouldn’t hesitate to join its royal court.

3 The One And Only Froggy Chair (Animal Crossing Series)

OK, Froggy Chair isn’t technically a frog, but its frog-based design is memorable and the subject of many memes in the Animal Crossing community, generating a big stir when it was added to New Horizons.

This amphibious furniture item will bring froggy flair to any room, and with new color options added to its New Horizons rendition, it’s the perfect time to show your love of frogs through this decorative item. The Animal Crossing series weirdly features both frogs that you can catch and donate to the museum and a species of frog villagers that you can invite to your town or island. However, Froggy Chair stands above the others, being one of the most coveted furniture items in the series.

2 Maiden’s Kiss Anyone?: Frog Cloud (Final Fantasy 7 And Final Fantasy 7 Remake)

Frog, or Toad, is a status effect in the Final Fantasy series. In Final Fantasy 7, your party members can be transformed into a frog, preventing them from using commands like Magic and Limit Breaks.

In Final Fantasy 7 Remake, characters afflicted with the frog status effect have unique designs: Aerith has a tiny bow, Barret eyewear, Cloud a small Buster Sword, and Tifa suspenders. As the protagonist, Cloud is the best frog of the group as it’s endearing to see a powerful weapon on the back of such a tiny frog. The status effect may be irritating when fighting, but it’s worth the annoyance to see a frog version of Cloud hop around the battlefield while attacking enemies.

1 Frog In Shining Armor: Glenn (Chrono Trigger)

Glenn, aka Frog, from Chrono Trigger is a knight from the Middle Ages who was transformed into an anthropomorphic frog after being attacked by Magus. This knight wields the legendary sword, the Masamune, and is a helpful party member to you throughout the game, learning powerful Techs.

Glenn has one of the best storylines of all the video game frogs, as he learns to accept his transformation and the death of his friend and mentor, Cyrus, to grow as a character. Frog’s Theme is also one of the best songs in the game and was played at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Glenn carries the torch when it comes to RPG frogs, and is the best the genre has to offer.
