Phrogling Field Guide
Every Phrogling we've managed to catalogue. Some are common as garden weeds; others reveal themselves only when they feel like it.
A stout, stone-grey Phrogling that disguises itself as a loose cobblestone and trips people it finds insufficiently interesting.
- Habitat:
- Old courtyards, garden paths, anywhere with wonky paving
- Temperament:
- Mischievous, judgmental, secretly affectionate
A documented Phrogling incident involving one fella suspended from a line while another appeared to be attempting some form of rescue.
- Habitat:
- Cabinet knobs, curtain cords, shelf edges, and other places where poor decisions can become architectural problems
- Temperament:
- Distressed, cooperative under pressure, poorly coordinated
A rare dusk-dwelling Phrogling with a faintly glowing belly, said to guide lost things back to where they belong.
- Habitat:
- Hedgerows at twilight, the edges of ponds, the last warm step of a porch
- Temperament:
- Shy, gentle, quietly heroic
A damp, contemplative Phrogling that grows a tiny garden on its own back and mutters weather predictions to nobody in particular.
- Habitat:
- North-facing windowsills, forgotten plant pots, the underside of garden steps
- Temperament:
- Grumbly but harmless; deeply opinionated about humidity
A Phrogling that responds to discovery by standing its ground, puffing itself up, and behaving as though it has already calculated the odds of winning. They ain't got hands. But if they did, they'd be throwin' em.
- Habitat:
- Open shelves, doorframes, counter edges, and other places where retreat would look embarrassing
- Temperament:
- Defiant, territorial, deeply convinced
A Phrogling caught fully off guard. Its first instinct is alarm, volume, and immediate emotional collapse.
- Habitat:
- Behind mugs, inside planters, under shelves, and anywhere it believed it was completely alone
- Temperament:
- Startled, expressive, emotionally available against its will
