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.
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.

Frogface appeared in the standard card pack as a 1★ rarity common monster. As a reference to its original appearance, it would gain 5 attack power if it is in the back row.

Frogmen can be seen as albino Frogfaces, being more white and yellow as opposed to the magenta and blue of the lesser monster. A far greater threat than the Frogface, and not just because of being statistically stronger, Frogmen can cast [[Whack]] when their backs are faced in battle. The same strategy that works against Frogfaces can also work on these monsters too, however, and the player will have access to {{Sleep}} inducing moves and instant-death spells to make matters faster.

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 [[Day-night cycle|nighttime]] and only in areas that can be accessed through flight.
