Frog

Frogs and toads (note that a toad is a type of frog) have appeared in several Castlevania games.

The first time a frog-like enemy made an appearance in Dracula's Castle was the Tadpole boss in the Konami mascot game Konami Wai Wai World, which featured levels of several different Konami franchises. This enemy appeared as a giant frog with one eye and hopped about the place and attacked with its massive tongue. This was the only boss in the Castlevania stage that you had to defeat (you could skip past Dracula). It guarded the key that you needed rescue Simon Belmont. This is also the only time where a frog-like enemy was a boss.

An endless supply of Frogs (described as "Mad Frogs") sprung from the swamp areas of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse and hopped about. They reappeared in the swamps of Super Castlevania IV and Castlevania Chronicles. They later appeared in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and had the ability to strike with their long tongue.

In addition to Frogs, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night had Toads, which were larger enemies that also attacked with their tongues. After a relatively long absence, Frogs and Toads made a return in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, where Charlotte Aulin gained the ability to turn herself or Jonathan Morris into a frog in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, gaining access to hard to reach areas.

The only appearance that frogs have made in a 3D Castlevania game is as a critter in the background of The Dead Bog in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.
