Froggy... Where are you?

— Big the Cat, Sonic Adventure

Froggy (カエルくん, Kaeru-kun^?) is a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is the pet frog and best friend of Big the Cat, though he has a habit of running off on his own, leaving Big to set off each time to find him.

Appearance

Froggy is a non-anthropomorphic green frog with a round body and four limbs. His limbs are rather thin, and each one has webbed feet with two toes each. He also has a white underbelly, orange stribes around his body, and red dots on his chins. He also has medium-large eyes with pale yellow sclera and wide black pupils.

After drinking Chaos' essence, Froggy gained a tail with a triangular tip. He later lost it after Chaos' essence was returned to it.

History

Sonic Adventure

During the course of Sonic Adventure, Froggy swallows both a part of Chaos and a Chaos Emerald. Abducted by E-102 Gamma, Froggy was taken to the Egg Carrier as Dr. Eggman wanted the Emerald and Chaos piece inside him. Big pursued him, and recovered his friend. However, the Chaos Emerald and the part of Chaos he had swallowed were absorbed into Chaos, allowing it to become Chaos 6, but was eventually rescued by Big with the aid of Sonic. Big and Froggy then took the Tornado 2 back to Mystic Ruins.

Sonic Heroes

In Sonic Heroes, Froggy and Chocola, a Chao, were abducted. Big, Amy and Cream went to look for them under the impression that Sonic had taken them. During the adventure they instead figured out that Eggman had kidnapped Froggy and Chocola, and defeated him. However, it turned out that Metal Sonic had framed Eggman, and had kidnapped Froggy and the Chao in order to copy the residual data of Chaos. Froggy was not seen in the final scenes of the game, but it can be assumed that he and Big went back to Mystic Ruins.

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

Froggy appears in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood in Big's POW moves Froggy Rain and Froggy Poison. In a somewhat humorous optional mission, it is revealed that Froggy has a friend who is also a frog named Norton the Frog. Froggy hadn't seen Norton in a while and was concerned about him. In the process of trying to find Norton, the team comes across his other friends, Gally, Mr. Billywick, and Mrs. Stevens, who appear to have very active social lives, according to Big's dialogue.

Sonic Colors

In the Nintendo DS version of Sonic Colors, Froggy ran off on his own once more and supposedly made his way to Aquarium Park in Dr. Eggman's Incredible Interstellar Amusement Park. Hot on Froggy's trail, Big followed him to Aquarium Park, where he looked for him. There, Big met Sonic and Tails and got Sonic to look for Froggy, but without results. Sonic, however, suggested that Froggy could already have gone home by then.

Other appearances

Games

Sonic Adventure 2

In the Dreamcast version of Sonic Adventure 2, Froggy appears as a part of the Eggwalker while Big is piloting it in a multiplayer mode. He replaces the glove used by Eggman as a close attack weapon. For an unknown reason, Froggy possesses Chaos' tail.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

Froggy--article image — Froggy in *Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing*.

In Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, Froggy returns as Big's All-Star Move. After Froggy hops onto Big's head, he suddenly turns into Giant Froggy. Big's All-Star theme is and...Fish Hits! from Sonic Adventure.

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games

In the Nintendo 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Big is seen looking for Froggy in Stonehenge in story mode, and after Magikoopa is defeated in the BMX event, Big finds Froggy on the ground.

Sonic Runners

In Sonic Runners, Froggy made a few appearances during exclusive Events. During the "Birthday on Windy Hill" event, Froggy came to Sonic's birthday party with Team Rose, where they got kidnapped by Dr. Eggman when he trashed the celebration with his miniature Death Eggs. Thankfully, Sonic showed up in time to free Froggy and Team Rose (except for Amy who got away), and the group returned to celebrate Sonic's birthday after Sonic got rid of Eggman.

During the "Tropical Coast Event," Froggy accompanied Team Rose to a beach resort. Amidst their relaxation, the group met Team Sonic. Once Team Rose learned of Eggman's most recent scheme, Froggy came along with Team Rose when they decided to help Team Sonic stop Eggman.

Sonic Forces: Speed Battle

FroggySFSB — Froggy in *Sonic Forces: Speed Battle*.

In Sonic Forces: Speed Battle, Froggy can appear at the end of the finish line of each race if at least one player is playing as Big.

Team Sonic Racing

In Team Sonic Racing, Froggy does not appear physically. However, Big's racing car, the Frog Cruiser, is designed after Froggy. He is also mentioned by Big.

Team Sonic Racing Overdrive

Like in Team Sonic Racing, Froggy does not appear physically. However, in the episode "Dangerous Distractions", an Egg Pawn opens a salestand selling merchandise of Froggy to distract Big the Cat.

Personality

While unable to express itself vocally, Froggy has shown other ways to define itself: one of which is Froggy's rather bad habit of running off on his own, leaving his best friend to chase after him. When reunited with Big the Cat, Froggy appears to be content with returning to his home at the Mystic Ruins.

In Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Froggy is revealed to be very social with his fellow amphibians, as Big mentions some of Froggy's other friends (Norton, Mr. Billywick, etc).

In other media

Archie Comics

Main articles: Froggy (Archie) and Froggy (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)

Froggy Archie - Kopi — Froggy in the Archie Comics.

In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics, Froggy is a Mobini frog and the best friend of Big from País Misterioso. When Froggy drank a little of the water from Chaos, he was captured by Dr. Eggman and used to restore Chaos, but was rescued by Big. Froggy has since accompanied Big on many of his adventures with the Knothole Freedom Fighters.

After the Super Genesis Wave, Froggy's history became nearly identical to his game counterpart's.

Sonic X

Main article: Froggy (Sonic X)

In Sonic X, like in the games, Froggy is a frog and the best friend of Big. Originally, Froggy lived on a parallel Earth in an alternate dimension, but was sent to Earth due to Chaos Control. While living there, Froggy accidentally drank some of Chaos and was captured by Dr. Eggman, but was eventually freed from Eggman and Chaos with the help of Sonic and his friends.
