Some hybrids leap where others only scurry. Creature #4 of the Creaturepedia is the Frogster (Cricetus ranae) — a delightfully plump blend of hamster and frog, equally at home on land or in the shallows of a pond.


With round cheeks and a soft, cuddly frame, the Frogster looks built for burrows. Yet its webbed feet tell another story: these little hybrids are surprisingly strong swimmers. They puff their cheeks with both seeds and air, making them look twice their size before bounding back into the water. Whether hoarding snacks or building nests among lily pads, the Frogster is always up to something curious.

💛 Traits & Care


  • Temperament: Curious, playful, slightly mischievous

  • Sound: A high-pitched squeaky croak, often when startled

  • Favorite Pastimes: Storing snacks, paddling through ponds, nesting in bubbles

  • Special Quirk: Creates tiny “bubble nests” as both shelter and play

  • Care Tip: Provide shallow water with floating platforms for enrichment and plenty of dry resting spots for balance


🧩 Collectability


As the fourth entry in the Creaturepedia, the Frogster is treasured not for elegance but for charm. It embodies the joy of contradictions — cuddly yet aquatic, hoarder yet adventurer. Collectors prize Frogsters as reminders that sometimes the oddest blends make the most delightful companions.


🌟 Final Note


Whether perched on a lily pad or diving headfirst with cheeks full of seeds, the Frogster adds whimsy to the Creaturepedia — a true amphibious oddity worth cherishing.
