{{nihongo|'''Frog'''|カエル|Kaeru|"Kaeru" in the Japanese version}} is a knight from the [[Middle Ages]] in {{CT}}. His real name is '''Glenn'''. He was presumably a squire under [[Cyrus]], a "Knight of the Square Table." (This pun only exists in the SNES/PS version.) Glenn had a notably close, although platonic, friendship with [[Queen Leene]]. He later witnessed Cyrus's death at the hands of [[Magus]], and shortly afterward, was transformed into an anthropomorphic frog by the dark mage. 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. | {{nihongo|'''Frog'''|カエル|Kaeru|"Kaeru" in the Japanese version}} is a knight from the [[Middle Ages]] in {{CT}}.

[[Image:Frog2.jpg|left|thumb|125px|Frog, fully-armed.]]In his changed form, Frog only stands around four to five feet tall. However, he is immensely strong, since he is able to wield the Masamune with ease. His amphibian physiology allows him to jump very high and move very swiftly by hopping. A few of his [[Tech]]s involve the use of his long, sticky tongue to grapple enemies. Although transformed into an animal, Frog continues to wear human clothes, seemingly out of habit rather than apparent need. Iconic for his green cape, Frog also wears britches, a belt fitted with a scabbard, boots, and blue gloves. | [[Image:Frog2.jpg|left|thumb|125px|Frog, fully-armed.]]In his changed form, Frog only stands around four to five feet tall.

The sequence ends with a unknown silhouette perched on top of the keep. It is never revealed whether it is Frog (who has had the spell broken by Magus' death) or Magus who walked away the victor of the duel. | The sequence ends with a unknown silhouette perched on top of the keep.

Another ending shows Marle post-Lavos, confronting her father. Both her and her father have some unseemly attributes. They croak and hop like frogs, suggesting they were descendants of Queen Leene and Frog.

An ending exclusive to the FMV of the [[PlayStation]] release depicts Frog transforming back into a human male. A large ceremony including all of the nobles of the court and the royal guard is held for him, and the King, wielding a jewel-encrusted sword, knights him. | An ending exclusive to the FMV of the [[PlayStation]] release depicts Frog transforming back into a human male.
