Frog. Sits on the pad, watches the whole server, says one word and leaves. That word is baka. She has been observed in these waters since August 2024 and has never once been caught trying.

baaka !

One frog, one pad, zero notes

temperament

Calm on the surface, will call you an idiot in Japanese with a peace sign attached and consider the matter closed.

documented vocabulary

"baka", "baaka !", "thank you baka", "thank you mr larper", and four laughing emojis in a row. Complete language, nothing missing.

hunting technique

Does not chase. Sits perfectly still in the reply chain until something walks into range, then takes it out with one word.

conservation status
thriving

Reserved entirely for birthday thank-yous and nothing else.

Leaves the pad only to reply, then returns to the exact same spot.

Fully charged legs, almost never deployed. That's the flex.
