Frog dedicates his life to protecting [[Queen Leene]] and vows to avenge Cyrus by killing Magus. Blaming himself for failing to be strong, Frog is depicted as chivalric but mired in regret over the past. He is the true bearer of the [[Masamune]], an ancient sword whose offensive capabilities against magic users is Magus's major weakness. Frog can later put Cyrus' ghost to rest, regaining his courage and clearing his conscience, and he has the opportunity to either defeat or ally himself with Magus. Frog wields a broadsword and can learn "[[Water]]" magic once he meets [[Spekkio]]; like [[Marle]], he also features a few healing techs. | ||

There was speculation that [[Glenn (Chrono Cross)|Glenn]] was the human form of Frog, as they both have the Tech X-Strike. However, Glenn is merely a reference. Frog is from 600 A.D. and Glenn is from 1020 A.D.; Glenn's father is Garai and his older brother is Dario. Frog had no such relatives. | |||
