== Appearance ==
The is a quadrupedal, frog-like creature that consists of mainly green shades. On the top of its head it has what resembles a wizard hat, though it does not appear to be attached to the creature. It also has a "cloak" covering the topside of its body that consists of several frills/ruffles. It has a short, stubby, seemingly layered tail. While its colors are primarily of green, the 's underbelly is a bluer teal color with an adornment of yellow and red ornaments. Swirly, polkadotted, and even heart shapes can be found on part of its cloak, hat, and body. Its back legs are much longer than the front legs when stretched out. 
=== Males ===
Males have round earmuff-like buttons covering their possible ear emplacements.
=== Females ===
Females have a round pearl-like protrusion on the base of their necks.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
The is a relatively fast, small semiaquatic omnivore, which means food is readily available almost everywhere (compensating for the OK-ish appetite and thirst stat) and it's easy to escape predators, attackers and environmental hazards without getting hit. Being capable of eating on-the-run helps on keeping mobility while eating, removing the stuck-while-eating vulnerability if done properly. Thanks to its decent amount of stamina it can hop for a while and even use its advantageous ambush multiple times in a row.
For a tier 1 the has huge levels of health, making it quite resistant against melee attacks for its tier despite the weight and the lack of any defensive status effects apart from the slight bleed defense; and its HP regeneration is good enough to be workable during battle and heal you in a short time. Its invisibility helps immensely into hiding, making the target far less noticeable, even better if combined with hiding scent or status that hide scent (such as mud). Its bone break is quite a surprise, somewhat effective against the few lighter creatures in Sonaria, and transforming into ligament tear against heavier targets, being decent for slowing down prey and attackers alike.
Additionally, its ability streamlined can be used in preparation for a travel or fight underwater, increasing speed, stamina and stamina regeneration, and decreasing hunger drain. This is useful for battling in the water, during times of low food and to reduce the number of times it needs to rest between water chases.
Its Night Stalker ability allows it to debuff others nightvision and make it more difficult for others to find their way at night.
Its fast growth-time reduces the vulnerability window to a minimum, ensuring the have reached full stats in a few minutes.
=== Cons ===
Its damage is the typically low of its tier, which combined with the weight makes its attacks ineffective against anything heavier than itself. The lack of any ranged ability or any defensive ability makes ranged attackers and abilities like breaths and Radiation a weakness and won't deter a predator from eating a . If it gets forced to repeatedly leave and enter water for short periods the Streamlined ability won't activate, and even then, a good part of the stamina boost will be drained by the fact its type of semiaquatic loses stamina for the fact of being underwater.
Its Night Stalker vision is also a double-edged sword, since it works as an AOE status, affected creatures can triangulate where the creature is located just by checking where their field of vision gets reduced, meaning any surprise attacks or hiding with invisibility and hiding scent or other methods may become moot with careful observation; additionally, it swaps the colors of scent, making recognizing a pattern quite difficult for the novice to this ability: red turns blue, for example. With that, some players may get confused and follow a water line believing it to be a meat line.
Its size and shape makes climbing difficult. Its camera is really close which makes the FOV not that good unless you use first-person camera.
== Carry-able Creatures ==
== Trivia ==
* Concept by Stormy_Nightwing and CatasticalCalamity in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** is based on various species of small frog.
* Modeled by East.
* Animated by BlckBrryJam.
* When was first released it was mistakenly put into both the Omnivores and Semi-aquatic gacha, along with its intended Session gacha. This was fixed soon after.
* can more or less safely traverse through lava (idle animation, sitting, laying down, aggro, cower, hiding scent and walking on a straight line over lava don't hurt the ) as seen here
