Hopping Frogs

Hopping Frogs are the main inhabitants of Hoppingfroglantis. The most famous are Nevets, Ronoc, Ralc, and Norman U. Beep.

Life cycle
Hopping frogs go through several forms.

Egg
Every hopping frog starts out as an egg. Eggs are formed asexually from the saliva of adult hopping frogs. The eggs are rolled into one of several "nursery pits", which are filled with magma. The egg matures for several months, before floating to the surface and breaking open.

Larvae
Larvae are to young to defend themselves, and their skin secretes a corrosive substance, so a metal structure is built in the middle of the lake, and the eggs are drawn to it. The larvae stop secreting it after two months, and at six months, a boat comes and takes the oldest hopping frogs away.

Adulthood
Adult hopping frogs are usually quite nice to one another, but, especially in disputes over their pets (typically humans), can be quite violent. They are prone to bickering. They have no social ranking, although the guardian of the pit is well respected. They are often hired out as bounty hunters.
