The Addled Frog is a unique and optional fight located in the Sunlit Wetlands in the Putrid Bog. Using Speak with Animals it reveal the frog seeming to be in a state of painful madness, somehow caused by the corruptive magic of Auntie Ethel.

If pestered for too long, the frog will become hostile and despite appearances prove to be very deadly. However if the hag is dead or forced out of the area, the frog will regain it's sanity and lead to a hidden stash of items as a reward.

Tactics

Despite appearances the Addled Frog his a ridiculous high Armour Class thanks to it's Mucus ability and having Mirror Image when the fight begins. While it may have one attack, its quite powerful and it's AoE can hit multiple party members if they are grouped up. It will also use Jump quite often to create distance. Also be weary of the first ranged attack or spell that hits it since, it will be reflected back.

While the Frog proves to quite deadly, it has quite the low amount of Hit Points. If a properly buffed up melee fighter hits it, the insane amphibian will likely not be getting back up. If it's Mucus trait is gone, a burst or two of Magic Missile will also likely kill it. However, considering the the Frog only gives one experience and drops nothing, its not worth picking a fight with it.
