The Frog

The Frog is a very wise amphibian who could be described as an oracle. Periodically, ArenaNet staff members use him as a way to speak to the community. Sometimes they release tidbits of information about future updates of the game. He even replies when being addressed (provided an ArenaNet developer is "logged in" as The Frog). The Frog most often appears in the International District in Kamadan.

The Frog's words, often in rather cryptic riddles, appear in golden font in the public channel.

It is unconfirmed whether or not Gaile Gray controls The Frog all of the time because she often appears when The Frog does. Neither will confirm or deny this claim. However, in one Frog session, she was accusing The Frog of being late, and sent a message as herself instead of The Frog, proving she did control The Frog at that time. It also appears that Liana Briarwater controls The Frog at times, as she has been seen speaking as The Frog during a Frog session, but via her own character with the standard staff purple text. The frog also crawls out of the ground and runs in a straight line just to dig back into the soil in the Gates Of Kryta on the small hill with a wagon on it behind/next to the henchmen.
