Gummy frogs are a species and type of item in the Magical Vacation series.

Profile

Gummy frogs are magical gummy creatures that contain the souls, or life force, of frogs. They live by feeding on fresh air, and come in a number of flavors. The main three are melon-flavored[a] green frogs, soda-flavored blue frogs, and strawberry-flavored red frogs (a mutation of blue frogs). It was speculated that they were somehow related to the primary colors of light, but this theory was unlikely. They have no language and only speak in ribbits (ゲロゲ~ロ gerogēro).

Gameplay

Magical Vacation

Gummy frogs can be obtained in a variety of ways, mostly from shops and enemy drops. If the party uses an HP Pot with Pistachio present, and they own 20 or less frogs, Pistachio will retrieve three frogs from the pot, with their color being determined by the party's report card grade. If too many frogs are caught in the overworld and purchased from shops, the party is less likely to befriend love spirits, but they are safe to obtain from chests, enemy drops, searching on the magic bus, and Pistachio's special power. Once all seven love spirits have been recruited, gummy frogs can be caught with no consequence, as it is needed to make dark spirits appear. The number of frogs caught is visible on the report card. Excessively catching gummy frogs also makes them less likely to appear and respawn, since every frog in the overworld has a set lifespan.

Magical Starsign

In the overworld, Mokka can use his wild magic to topple every frog in the area, the protagonist's dark wild magic makes gummy frogs vanish, and Kir retrieves red frogs from HP Pots. They also have set life spans, and will gradually disappear if many are caught. By abstaining from the capture or purchase of gummy frogs, the party is able to recruit the egg characters Star or Pooka by talking to Filamen in Sparklin Palace, depending on the protagonist's affinity. The safest ways to obtain frogs is from chests, enemy drops, Kir's overworld ability, searching on Neumann, and reflex guarding during swinger's frog toss attack.
