Meet the Axolotl

**Meet the Axolotl** is the fifth *Anonymous Frog* short and the first video in the 'Meet the Characters' subseries, a parody of.the *Meet the Team* videos from *Team Fortress 2.*

## Synopsis

The axolotl. One of the cutest, yet rarest amphibians to ever walk this land. They can be very mischievous sometimes, as shown in this video.

## Plot

The video contains four separate sketches featuring the Axolotl.

#### Intro

Ketchum lies down in a boat where he spots the Axolotl as they swim around with their tail poking out, imitating a shark. As soon as Ketchum wakes up, the Axolotl reveals themselves.

#### The Nether Portal

The Axolotl walks out of a river and into a Nether Portal, teleporting to the roof of the Nether, where GeorgeNotFound, Sapnap, BadBoyHalo, and Antfrost are trapped. This opens up the portal on their end, allowing them to escape.

#### DNA Database

Dream walks up to the Puffballs DNA Database, where agents Jared and James Jones are blocking the door. The agents ask for Dream's age, only to call him stupid and throw him out, having not realized that TNT were placed at their feet, blowing them up.

With Jared and James not guarding the door, Dream gets in, then proceeds to use one of the building's computers to look up his family heritage. However, Dream's father was listed as an axolotl 14 years younger than him. After noticing the error, he calls the Heavy for help. Heavy insists that there's nothing wrong with the results, only to find that one urine sample was contaminated and another knocked over by the Axolotl, who runs away safely.

#### Iceologer Cult

The Axolotl walks down the street, only to be dragged away by the Iceologer, who alongside his cult, plan to sacrifice it in a ritual in exchange for satanic powers. They cut the Axolotl in half, but the missing half grows back and it escapes.

Not wanting to let the ritual go to waste, the cult chase after it. When the Iceologer returns, a phantom swoops him and the Axolotl flies away on its back.
