Frogfaces appear primarily in the Alexandria region, notably within the Tower of Alexandria. 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. | Frogfaces appear primarily in the Alexandria region, notably within the Tower of Alexandria.

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. | As is the case with its other varieties, the Killer Croaker is only threatening when made to have its back face the party.
