The frog is a common pond fish in the Animal Crossing series introduced in Animal Crossing. It appears as a small shadow that can be found in ponds all day from late spring to the end of summer. In games prior to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it has a distinctive croak heard when the player is approaching it prior to being caught.

Trivia
- In Animal Crossing, upon catching the frog, the player makes a comment about the frog being warty, despite frogs having no warts. It is likely that it was confused with a toad.
- The frog and octopus are the only species that appear as both villagers and catchable creatures. This is alluded to in the frog's catch quote in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Real-world information
The Japanese tree frog is very common and is of least concern on the IUCN Red List.
