## Description

Glue Frogs (Ranus glutinum) are a species of frog in the order Branchia. Glue Frogs are rapid animals which usually go fast . They have a variety of colour and they also possess a Glueocyte on the end of their tail. Glue Frogs are small but they are long. The Glue Frogs have a tail specialised for defense as their tail can latch onto the intruder. Unlike other frogs, Glue Frogs have a much more different early life, which is more related to how frogs lay eggs in real life. Glue Frogs have four limbs but their problem is that they might stick their Glueocyte onto a wall, which will prove fatal, leading to death since it cannot possibly refuel itself, unless it breaks the Glueocyte connected to the Myocyte.

## Appearance

The Glue Frog has a variety of colours, such as blue, purple, pink and grey. These special frogs are well-adapted to their environments. Their Flagellocytes serve as a form of locomotion, which helps the creature collect nutrients with its Phagocytes. Their hind legs give extra speed and boost when the Glue Frog needs it. Glue Frogs have four different life stages which start from the egg to the adult. Like real life frogs, Glue Frogs lay eggs which will eventually hatch.

## Stages of Life

### The Egg

When a Glue Frog has been fertilised and ready to reproduce, they form a Lipocyte egg which is stuck to them, until the egg has gotten enough nutrients to split from the parent. After it splits, the Lipocyte will form into a Keratinocyte shell and one of the cells of the egg shell will split into the embryo Photocyte. This Photocyte will split until it becomes the Larvae, which is 6 Cells (minus the shell).

### The Larvae

After a Glue Frog grows into a Larva, they will use their Flagellocytes to move the Keratinocyte shell with them inside. They must rush to collect as much nutrients as they can if they are to metamorphose into an adult. Once the Larva gains enough energy, it can break through the weakened Keratinocyte barrier and gain the final nutrients needed to metamorphise.

### Adolescent

After the Larva gains enough energy to undergo metamorphosis, their bodies begin to change and they become froglets. They are almost an adult and basically look just like a frog. They are prepared to live out in the world and once they finally grow their Glueocyte tail, they'll become adults.

### Adult

After growing their Glueocyte Tail, they are mature enough to be adults and thus, start reproduction all over again.

## Reproduction

Glue Frogs have a distinct way of reproducing. Unlike the other frogs which reproduce on their own, Glue Frogs reproduce with Gametes, which must be fertilised in order to reproduce young. This method of reproduction is particularly successful in crowded places as there is more likelihood of bumping into another Gamete, thus reproducing and creating a Lipocyte egg, which will eventually hatch into their young. Glue Frogs who haven't broke their shell do much better in more emptier substrates where there are less Adult Frogs and more food. If young Glue Frogs are in crowded dishes, they will probably either get squashed or they can't get any food and will die of starvation.
