The terrifying earth goddess worshipped by the Mexica people. Though not a frog per se, she is described as being toad-like with crocodile skin and a gigantic maw filled with sharp teeth which hungers for human flesh. Appearing during the Aztec Fifth Cosmos, she is considered the source of all living things, and thus she must be placated to ensure order in the world. (Kinda like how one must satiate one's strange cravings during pregnancy, or face the wrath of one's life-giving innards)

"Allobates zaparo" - the bloody bamboozler. Found in Ecuador and Peru, this frog likes to pull a sneaky on predators by mimicking a more dangerous species. However, they tend to copy the less poisonous species (the middle one in the pic) rather than the deadliest (the bottom one) It was found that this strategy allows predators to learn to avoid these frogs, rather than outright killing said predators. Basically, these frogs place high emphasis on education. (Froggo am so smrt)

Originally an arcade game developed by Konami and published by Sega in 1981, this simple, reflex-testing game has become ingrained in American popular culture due to its uncomplicated design and universal appeal. It's been referenced in numerous media, including an episode of Seinfeld ("The Frogger," 1998) and in "Wreck-It Ralph" and "Ralph Breaks the Internet." It also has a place in the scientific community: a Frogger is jumping gene in fruit flies. (Whatever you do though, do not refer to frogs as 'froggers' or even 'froggas,' as it's seen as being extremely offensive)

Frogs in Fiction #9 - The Scorpion and the Frog 2 comments

An animal fable about the immutability of one's nature. The story goes that a scorpion asked a frog for a ride across a river. The frog, of course, is hesitant and says he's worried that the scorpion will sting him. The scorpion retorts that if he did that while the frog is swimming, he'd drown as well. The frog believes that makes sense, and agrees to help. Halfway through their journey though, the scorpion stings the frog. When asked why, the scorpion replies that he couldn't help it, and that it was in his nature. (Good thing humans would never do that, what with free will and such)
