Spiny Frogs

[Shtopit]

Spiny frogs have a silly name, because they sound like they have spines, but they don't.

Since their distinctive trait is that of being frogs that can poison you with their attacks, I tried looking for frog species that actually do that. Most frogs are poisonous (they poison you if you eat them), but not venomous.

And it turned out that there is only a couple of species of venomous frogs. But they don't bite. They have spines connected to poison glands on their heads, which they wiggle and flex in various directions to inject people they don't like. This was found out when a researcher tried to pick one up with his hands. The frog was called Greening’s frog, although the researcher was called Carlos. They later discovered a much more venomous species (Bruno’s casque-headed frog) that also uses spikes on its head.

What I find funny is that spiny frogs are already found in morgues from before they were discovered in 2015. Are the Devs prescient?

Will there be discoveries of Yaktaurs IN THE FUTUUUUUUURE???

the name "spiny frog" for the monster predates monster spines. so this should be blamed on the introduction of monster spines instead, which were a terrible addition to the game that should be removed immediately
