The Frog Egg is a trinket item that can be obtained by slaying monsters or breaking crates and barrels in the Mines, Skull Cavern, or Quarry Mine. Drop chances from both methods are affected by daily luck and luck buffs, among other factors. The Burglar's Ring and Monster Compendium do not impact the chance to obtain it from monsters.[1] There is also a ~0.6% chance to obtain a Frog Egg from a treasure chest in the Skull Cavern.[2]

Equipping the Frog Egg in the trinket slot causes a frog to spawn and follow the player around. When monsters are within 4-5 tiles of the frog, it will try to consume the nearest enemy by grabbing the enemy with its tongue. If unsuccessful, the frog will try again after 2 seconds. If successful, then the frog will follow the player with a full belly. After 12 seconds, the frog returns to normal size and is able to eat another enemy.[3]

Note: Enemies eaten by the frog will not drop anything and do not count as kills towards quests or Monster Eradication Goals.

Colors

 
Trinket frog colors, from left to right, top to bottom: brown, green, blue-green, red, yellow, blue, void, and various colors that prismatic cycles through.

The Frog Egg has a random color when dropped, and it can be changed to any of eight possible colors if re-forged on an Anvil. The color of the frog is cosmetic and does not affect its functionality.
