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 that hides a demonic face on its back.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
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 attacks. 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[edit | edit source]
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit | edit source]
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.
