I forgot what this thing was called but it's super cool. Though I know, it is supposed to be a frog monster, considering the tail... Tadpole monster.

We already know from the previous episode that the "tentacles" are animals, not plants, and in fact are explicitly cnidarians, as shown by their nematocysts/cnidocytes, or stinging cells.

In the real world, there are a number of small creatures that can live safely among the stinging tentacles of an anemone or jellyfish, and of these, the clownfish (also known as anemonefish) are the most well-known.

It is believed that the slimy coat of clownfish differs in some way from that of other fish so that it doesn't trigger the stinging cells, so as long as the clownfish's slime coat is intact, it is protected from stings.

Of course, clownfish are marine fish, so Ryoko Kui utilized a different slimy creature, an arboreal one that could clamber about in the stinging tentacles: giant tree frogs!

They're tree frogs because their toes have the sticky discs. I've never seen frog monsters utilized this way or in this ecological niche before, but in hindsight it is brilliant in its simplicity, and very appropriate.

Mmmmm, forg monster Derek... >B)

I am so normal about monsters, y'all, it's a problem HDKABSJSHSJSHSJSHHS

Awhile back I got the idea to do a frog ghoul. As I was thinking of design stuff, I suddenly realized I had a spare Scarah that I'd been planning on making a dryad that...eh. Didn't come out the way I wanted a dryad...but who would make an awesome frog if I just relaxed her hair a bit! I started puttering away at her - hair, makeup, contemplating spotting pattern and how to give her fingers webs, etc. and I've fetched up on the problem of eye colour. I know I'm going to give her froggy pupils, because weird eyes are a THING for me, but colour? Can not decide. So I made some sloppy mockups in Photoshop and thought I'd ask opinions. Her eye makeup is basically done (needs a couple small retouches). Not 100% sold on her factory green lips, but can't think of anything better.

So, bearing in mind that these are just rough ideas and the paint will not exactly match...
