Vampire Frog Staff

The Vampire Frog Staff is a pre-Hardmode summon weapon. It spawns a Vampire Frog minion that follows the player and attacks enemies using its tongue. It has a chance to be dropped by a Zombie Merman or Wandering Eye Fish, both of which will spawn while fishing during a Blood Moon.
The best modifier is Mythical but Godly, Demonic, Ruthless, Furious, and Masterful all raise its base damage by the same amount due to rounding.
