The Frogface is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, it is a frog monster with a demonic face on its back.

Characteristics

At first glance, frogfaces are just magenta-colored frogs with two horns poking up from behind their heads. However, once attacked, they will turn around and reveal the yellow-eyed, blue-tongued face on their backs. If attacked again, they will turn back around to being primarily frogs.

As they first appear, Frogfaces pose no true threat. They can only execute a weak attack or runaway while acting as frogs. It is when the back-situated face is shown that the monster becomes dangerous: its basic attack becomes much stronger and it gains the ability to cast spells and use breath attacks.

Killer croaker

As is the case with its other varieties, the Killer Croaker is only threatening when made to have its back face the party. Since they can cast Thwack with their demon faces, it is highly recommended to use sleep inducing moves and attacks capable of defeating them in a single blow in order to avoid confronting their unfavorable sides. Killer Croakers appear most frequently at nighttime and only in areas that can be accessed through flight.
