Frog

The first animal almost every account catches. The starter carrot lands a few metres in front of the line and a frog hops out to eat it.

Where to catch the Frog

The Frog lives in Forest (zone 1 of 17), in the front part of the zone. It is number 1 of 9 in the Forest index. A full-strength throw needs roughly 0 – 150 Throw Power to land in Forest.

Foods that land here: Carrot (Free), Apple ($30), Banana ($150). A higher-tier food pushes the roll toward the rarer end of the Forest list, so the newest food you own is always the best bait.

Any throw that lands in the front part of the zone can produce it. If you are hunting it for the index, lower your throw strength with the gear icon until the food lands on that spot – distance inside a zone decides which animals can come.

Is it worth keeping?

  • The best plain earner here is the Pony ($25/s), 13x this one.
  • The first animal in Savannah, the Giraffe, makes 60x as much – once your throws reach Savannah, replace it.
  • Keep it longer only if it rolled a strong mutation or size (see the table below) or you need it for the index.

Tips

  • Sell it as soon as you have ten better animals – it is the weakest earner in the game.
  • A Diamond Frog (1 in 961) still only makes about $6/s, so do not waste a lucky throw here.

Frog income by mutation and size

A plain Frog makes $2/s. Mutations and sizes multiply that number, and the two stack. The table below multiplies the plain income by the multipliers I have measured (Gold ×1.5, Diamond ×3, Emerald ×5, Ruby ×10, Rainbow ×20; Big ×2, Large ≈×4.3, Huge ≈×9, Colossal ≈×18.5, Gigantic ≈×37). Treat the size columns as estimates – real catches land a little above or below. With the 2x Cash gamepass every number doubles.
