The Frog (カエル Kaeru) is a small amphibian that follows Viola if she nods to him. He's found in the Frog Room on the 3rd Floor. His inventory description reads, "A lost frog, searching for his home".

Use

The first puzzle, that is solved with the frog, involves having it cross a narrow bridge in the 3rd Floor Hallway to flip a switch. Later, the player has to sit the frog down on a chair to make a mirror image in the Mirror Room. Finally, the player is forced to feed the frog to a hungry, giant snake to get to the next room.

The room in which you find the frog (and possibly die).

When you leave the Snake Room, you may see what some players call 'The Ghost of the Frog.' If you go back into the room with the 'ghost' before going to the Mouth Hallway, the floor suddenly changes into what may be an image of intestines. This effect does not harm you. Viola will simply walk over it as if it was normal flooring, and only appears the single time you reenter that room.

What is seen after you return to the snake room after the Frog's demise.

If you return to the Frog Room upon sacrificing the frog, the pool will be solid black in color. If you check the note, a large right hand will emerge from the pool and crush Viola to death.

Kin

Tadpoles are heavily implied to be Frog's kin. They will claim their father was eaten by a snake; on their third response, they claim that you killed him, and consequently drown you in their pool. When you wash the Red Shoes, they will die as well.
