The Dangerous Gift,
The Flames of Hope

'Bullfrog' is a male MudWing who was
introduced in The Dangerous Gift. He was formerly a member of the
stealth team and accompanied them to Pantala in order to fulfill The
Lost Continent Prophecy. He was formerly under the control of the
othermind and currently resides in the Mud Kingdom.

## Description

Bullfrog is brawny, strong-looking, and nearly twice the size of the
other dragons going on the journey to Pantala. He has massive legs, big
talons, brown scales, thick wings, and a deep voice. He is about the
same size as Pokeweed.

## Personality

Bullfrog rarely says anything, and when he does say something, his
speech is often short. Luna thought that if he had a personality, or any
sort of passion for anything, it was buried as deeply as a fossil. When
Qibli attempted to joke with him, he was confused, ponderous, and
puzzled, and he took Qibli's jokes quite seriously. He is
self-satisfied, placid, implacable, stealthy, and often mumbles and
speaks slowly on the occasions he does talk.

He also grunts and pauses for long moments of time between thoughts, as
he seemed stumped when Cricket asked him about the Scorching, which he
then stated that history was not his favorite subject. He was quite
ruffled when Pokeweed asked what he was. He dislikes sitting and
waiting, and he does not believe that he talks too much.

He was outwardly skeptical of the humans having much intelligence,
despite Wren being within earshot; when she called him out on this, he
mumbled that he "thought she was different." He also was completely calm
in the face of Axolotl's terror towards him, and was impassive despite
Wren's protests when he trapped Axolotl under one of his claws.

Despite Wren earlier explaining that humans were just as intelligent as
dragons, he referred to Axolotl as an "it" and worried about them
escaping. His face was later skeptical as Wren attempted to explain
something to him, and he was mildly grumpy after Wren ordered him away
from Axolotl. He also seemed skeptical of the ability of leafspeak.

Despite his possible prejudice towards humans, he took it upon himself
to hunt for his group whilst traveling through the caverns underneath
Pantala. He was also willing to protect Cricket from Pokeweed.

## Biography

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

left
The Dangerous Gift
Bullfrog was a
volunteer chosen by Queen Moorhen to represent the MudWings for the
mission to Pantala. When they were getting ready to leave Pyrrhia,
Snowfall switched her attention from Sky to Bullfrog because she knew
she would not get "sappy and sentimental about him."

The Flames of Hope
Bullfrog stayed
silent for most of the trip to Pantala. When the stealth team were under
attack by a group of mind-controlled HiveWings, Bullfrog stayed with
Cricket, Sundew, Luna, Lynx, Wren, and Sky, who were all hidden with the
IceWing gifts|gift of stealth. After the rest of the team were brought
back to the Hives, Sundew and Lynx went to rescue the rest of their team
while Bullfrog, Luna, Cricket, Wren, and Sky waited for them on Pantala.

When Axolotl met them for the first time, Bullfrog captured them so that
they would not escape, and when Wren told him to let them go, he said
that 'it' might escape. After Wren convinced Bullfrog to let go of
Axolotl, Luna noticed that when Wren made him stay away from them, he
seemed grumpy about it. Cricket thought of the plan to get a plant to
tell Sundew about the message; however, Bullfrog was skeptical of the
plant being able to communicate with Sundew. The group then headed
towards the abyss, where Bullfrog was pressured into lecturing about the
Scorching after Cricket mentioned it in her conversation.

On their way into the underground cavern, they ran into Pokeweed, who
was confused with who and what Bullfrog was. Bullfrog later followed the
stealth team, Bryony, Tau, and Dusky to find the abyss near the Abyss
village|human colony. He went back to the underground cavern to wait
while Luna and Cricket went forward to see the abyss, and he and Cricket
later went to find Sundew at Lake Scorpion after Cottonmouth used Luna
to trick Cricket and the others.

Bullfrog got injected during the fight between the stealth team and the
mind-controlled LeafWings and HiveWings. Bullfrog was freed from the
mind-control when Luna severed the breath of evil from Freedom.

## Relationships

### Cricket

Bullfrog implied that Cricket was being noisy whilst thinking, to which
she apologized and became quieter. When she excitedly asked about his
knowledge of the Scorching, he replied "not much," but after he sensed
Cricket's disapproval, he explained it further. When she continued to
ask him questions, he stated that he was not her walking history book
and hurried away from her. He was however willing to protect her from
Pokeweed.

## Quotes

Actually. […] Clay says prophecies aren't like instructions.
And they aren't messages saying, 'This will definitely happen.' He says
a prophecy can give you a hint in the right direction, but you have to
choose what you do with it.

Like … over five thousand years ago? And no tribes. Dragons
live mostly on their own. I think? And then a scavenger made a dragon
real mad, so the dragon ate him, and then the dragon burned a bunch of
stuff and got some other dragons to eat a bunch of more scavengers and
burn a bunch of more stuff, and then they made a kingdom, and that was
the Scorching. Yup.
