giant frog

Oversized hopping amphibian

A giant frog is any frog species notably larger than typical frogs, or a frog that has grown unusually large.

The term appears in fantasy games and folklore, where giant frogs are often monstrous creatures: The party encountered a giant frog in the swamp.

In biology, it may refer to species like the Goliath frog, which can weigh over seven pounds.
