The '''frogface''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in {{DQ8}}, it is a frog monster that hides a demonic face on its back.

==Characteristics==
At first glance, frogfaces are just red-colored frogs with blue swirls on most of their bodies and 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 attack]]s. The frogface and its amphibious brethren are part of the [[bug family]] in their debut title, oddly enough, but are members of the [[demon family]] in the ''Monsters'' games due to their faces.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ8}}===
Frogfaces appear primarily in the [[Alexandria Region]], notably within the [[Tower of Alexandra]]. Because of the threat they can pose to low-leveled characters, especially after being provoked into showing their second faces, it is wise to try and defeat them in a single blow by either using strong abilities or psyching up to bolster attacks that normally wouldn't cut it.
