Frenzied Frog

**Mad Xenopus** (マッドゼノパス, *Maddozenopasu*?), or **Frenzied Frogs** (キチガエル, *Kichigaeru*?) as Doku refers to them, are a mysterious species of frog that are attracted to human's desires and are the reason for the fractured humans in the world of Jagaaaaaan. If the fractured human is killed, the frog will escape the cadaver to find another host, making it is crucial for a fractured human warrior's partner to kill and eat the Frog after its escapes the host, lest another fractured human come about, possibly even stronger than the one before. According to Doku, the Frogs are unleashed by an unknown alien race on Earth throughout human history with the purpose of collecting data of human desire. Once a human has been infected by a frenzied frog, the frog will enter an incubation period, this period will determine the overall strength of the resulting fractured human by how long the frog is in the incubation period, which is controlled by how much control the host has over his/her desires. This, and many other facts about the frenzied frogs, were found out by Misogi Hakuto. The **Theory of Peace**, as he calls it, suggests that the basic formula of the frenzied frogs feeding side effect goes as ***(Incubation Period + Control of Desires = Strength as a Fractured Human)***.

After the demise of Nomen and apparent death of Chiharu, 90% of the Frenized Frogs are either destroyed or captured.

## Frenzied Frogs

   **Frenzied Frogs** are the fully matured outcome of the frenzied frog life cycle and are attracted to humans with **destructive** impulses like **wrath** and **pride**. They can cause their hosts to become a **fractured human**. This is a side effect of them feeding on their host's inner impulses and desires, whether they're positive and negative. Once the host fractures, they will become extremely violent towards their surroundings and the people around them, this will happen no matter what desire the frenzied frog is feeding off of. As they feed on the hosts inner feelings and grow, their appearance will adapt to their host's new body, taking on similar characteristics to the fractured human. If the host is killed and the frog has taken these characteristics, the next host they enter will gain those characteristics as well, only being slightly altered by that hosts desires and imagination. It is unknown if the frog's appearance changes again after finding a new host or if it's appearance is permanent after entering it's first host. Once fed enough desires by it's host, either by incubating inside long enough or by allowing the host to fulfill most of it's desires, the frog can grow even further and allow the host to become and evolved fractured human. This gives the host an upgrade to physical abilities, including increased mass, new offensive and/or defensive capabilities and the ability for the ability to regenerate, which is most likely a side effect of the excess desires being consumed by the frog going into transforming it's host, as it would have the necessary nutrition to so and will also allow the host to act out on it's desires more effectively, meaning more food for the frog.

## Frenzied Tadpoles

   **Frenzied Tadpoles** are juvenile frenzied frogs that are attracted to humans with **virtuous** impulses like **Justice** and **Regret**. They canturn their hosts into a **fractured human warrior** instead of a regular fractured human.this means that they can retain their humanity and will usually have powers even stronger than an average fractured human. Tadpoles seem to be less needy in their desire hunger, which is what allows fractured human warriors to retain their humanity, but will slowly turn into a full fractured Human if they use their powers given by the tadpole, as this is how they feed off of the host's desires, or wait for a long period of time for tadpole to mature into an adult frog. Early symptoms for the host of a tadpole maturing include dizziness, lightheadedness, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, hallucinations, etc. The only way to halt the maturity of a frenzied tadpole is for the host to absorb powder of a Duhnng-Ball through the mucous membrane or by simply forcing it to halt through the will of the host. These are only temporary solutions however, as the frenzied tadpoles can adapt to them, by maturing faster each time it's growth is halted by either solutions. It is because of this there will be a race for the host to kill more frenzied frogs than the tadpole inside them can mature. If fully matured, due to the **Theory of Peace's** formula combined with how powerful their hosts were already, the once tadpoles can potentially have a host capable of killing thousands, making the killing capacity go even beyond that of an evolved fractured human. This outcome can be made even worse, if the tadpole is fed enough to allow an evolution within the now fractured human, increasing the already high killing capacity.

## Frenzied Froglets

**Frenzied Froglets** are adolescent frenzied frogs that are attracted to humans with Selfish impulses like **Lust,** **Envy, and Revenge**. They are very similar to a fully matured Frenzied Frog albeit still possessing a tadpole's tail. They turn their hosts into half-fractured humans, beings who possess a Fractured Human's powers while maintaining the ability to revert to their Human form as a sort of camouflage. The way they achieve their host's desires is by having them keep their humanity which allows them blend in more, while giving them a power which would suit their lifestyle. In the case of Motomu Robahata his aphrodisiac tongue allows him to achieve his desires (raping woman) and not be caught. . Froglets seem to be more at ease than their tadpole counterparts as they can stay at the stage of maturity they are at while still granting destructive power. Although it would seem that it is still possible for the Half-Fractured human to go berserk and lose themselves as with Kimihito Mikazuchi, it is unknown if the Froglet matures any further during this process.

## Gargatuan Frenzied Frog

    The Gargatuan is responsible for giving birth to frenzied froglets. It sustains itself by feeding off the brain chemicals given to it by the bracelets worn by the guests of Deadland. Its appearance is a large and grotesque frenzied frog, with a large swollen body, bulging eyes and a tongue that remains popped out of its mouth. Several long limbs extend out from the creature, with a long tail that coils beneath it. The Gargatuan Frenzied Frog was created by Chiharu Matsuyamachi .
