Final Froggit

Final Froggit is an enemy that appears in the Ruins on Hard Mode, and in the CORE during regular gameplay. It is a stronger and more advanced version of Froggit since the enemy is one of the final enemies encountered before New Home.
== Profile ==
=== Appearance ===
Final Froggit has spike-like protrusions on its head and eyelids, accompanied by a crown-like muff on top of its head. Its lips are marked with lines, as though wrinkled from age. Its "shoulders" are decorated with sharp excrescences, while silhouettes between its legs form a face with a triangular smile and cross eyes.
== In Battle ==
=== Appears With ===
* Whimsalot
* Astigmatism
* Migospel (Hard Mode)
=== Attacks ===
* A wave of flies come from the top of the screen. They stop, then home in on the SOUL.
* A frog jumps and pursues the SOUL. The frog can land on any edge of the screen and jump again.
=== Strategy ===
* To spare Final Froggit, choose the Mystify act. It then realizes it has more to learn from the world.
** It can also be spared by selecting the Compliment or Threaten act twice, similar to Froggit, though it can also be done with one depending on the player's Attack stat. In addition to this, complimenting also reduces its AT, and Threatening reduces its DF. These can be used strategically depending on the situation.
* If found with Astigmatism, Final Froggit can be spared by challenging Astigmatism. If this ACT is used together with Whimsalot in battle, both the Final Froggit and Whimsalot become spareable.
* Sticking near the bottom of the screen allows more time to avoid the fly attack.
* Circling the Frog attack with the SOUL can cause the frog to never land, potentially ending the attack period after one jump.

== Trivia ==
* "Final" refers to the fact that Final Froggit is the final form of itself, or being the evolution of Froggit itself.
** As one of the final enemies in the game, final can also mean it has gained wisdom, strength, and understanding during their journey as they broke through their obstacles, confusion and difficulties in Froggit's life to find its purpose. This is further supported by its flavor text stating: "Final Froggit knows exactly why it's here." while Froggit's flavor text states: "Froggit doesn't seem to know why it's here."
* Final Froggit is one of the monsters that was turned into an Amalgamate, specifically the Reaper Bird.
* Most of Final Froggit's quotes and flavor text are opposite versions of Froggit's, such as barking rather than meowing, understanding exactly what it hears, and standing its ground at low HP rather than trying to run away. This reflects an overall theme in the CORE, where monsters who were previously weak are now stronger and better, just like the protagonist at this point of their journey.
* Final Froggit's name may serve as a nod to Starman and Final Starman from the EarthBound series, considering that in both cases, the "Final" version of the enemy appears spikier than the first.
* An early design for Final Froggit had a croaking animation during battle.
