History[]

TV series[]

Season one[]

SB S1E31 Frogymandias statue

The Froglodyte High Priest talking to the Frogymandias.

When the Froglodytes brought Sticks the Badger into their caves after the cave entrance got unblocked, the high priest prepared to sacrifice Sticks to Frogymandias. Though Sticks broke free and caught him, the high priest knew she could not escape his people. As Team Sonic came to Sticks' rescue though, she beat up the high priest with a club before escaping. After Team Sonic sealed up the caves again, the high priest brought the news to his people. Nonetheless, he appreciated the furniture Team Sonic had left behind in the caves.[3]

Season two[]

The high priest met Dr. Eggman when the doctor breached the Froglodyte Caves. Believing Eggman to be a magic king because of his Eggmobile, the high priest offered himself and his people as his servants. Seeking their caves' Tummel Crystal to power MeBot, Eggman employed the Froglodytes to mine for it. Wanting to avoid work, the Froglodytes kidnapped the Gogobas and had them mine for them, with the high priest supervising the operation. When Eggman got the Tummel Crystal however, the high priest saw the doctor's true colors when Sonic intervened. He subsequently fled when Sonic and Eggman duked it out in their mech suits. Once Sonic emerged as the victor, the high priest began bowing to him despite Sonic's attempts to discourage him.[4]

Personality[]

The high priest is an evil and savage leader, but also a superstitious nitwit.[4] Believing strongly in the supernatural, he is a devout follower of Frogymandias, whom he will attempt to make sacrifices to, no matter how measly said sacrifices may be.[3] He is likewise quick to assume that those in possession of advanced technology are magical and kingly cyborg-creatures, and will gladly offer himself and his people as slaves to such perceived entities for all eternity without question so that he and his people may be spared. He also proudly follows the Froglodytes' traditions, regardless of how demeaning they may be.[4]

The high priest loves to taunt his prisoners and appears quite arrogant regarding his tribe, believing their numbers allow them to stand up to mightier foes. Also, because his people owns so little due to their isolation in their caves, the high priest greatly appreciates any new things introduced to their society, like used furniture. He is also shown to have a dry sense of sarcasm.[3]

I noticed a mistake on the wiki and wanted to let someone know. The character you have listed as Froglodyte Taskmaster is actually Froglodyte Drill Sergeant. Taskmaster is the character Bill voices in Buddy Buddy Temple of Doom who grows frustrated with a Gogoba. There's also a Froglodyte High Priest who has had a number of speaking roles, but I noticed doesn't have a wiki page himself. Hope that helps!"
