Frogs are part of the Amphibian family which is also part of the class Amphibia. All living amphibians belong to the group Lissamphibia. They inhabit a wide variety of habitats, with most species living within terrestrial, fossorial, arboreal or freshwater aquatic ecosystems. Thus amphibians typically start out as larvae living in water, but some species have developed behavioural adaptations to bypass this.

### Loveland Frog Yokai

In Ohio folklore, the Loveland frog (also known as the Loveland frogman or Loveland lizard) is a legendary humanoid frog described as standing roughly 4 feet (1.2 m) tall, allegedly spotted in Loveland, Ohio. In 1972, the Loveland frog legend gained renewed attention when a Loveland police officer reported to a colleague that he had seen an animal consistent with descriptions of the frogman.

### Water Leaper Yokai

It is described as a giant frog with a bat's wings instead of forelegs, no hind legs, and a long, lizard-like tail with a stinger at the end. It jumps across the water using its wings, hence its name. They are seen as being malevolent creatures who are blamed for problems ranging from snapping fishing lines to eating livestock or even fishermen.

Frog Yokai are one of the most common species in the Hidden World. They usually live in wet places like the rainforests and marshes. Somewhere where it's dark and there's water nearby. Other than having webbed hands and feet, these Yokai are known for their tongues. They have long, prehensile tongues that they can control at will. The mucus they excrete is an extremely effective moisturizer and prized in beauty products. Female Yokai use the frog's mucus for their skin and hair. However, Frog Yokai must soak in water at least once a day, otherwise there is a risk of dehydration. For this reason, they can't handle hot and dry areas and temperatures.
