Frog is a status in Final Fantasy VII. It decreases the unit's attack power by ¼th of their base damage and disables all commands except Attack, Item (including W-Item), and the Toad spell if the player has it equipped. Frogs cannot use Limit Breaks.

Unlike most other status effects, does not disappear when a character is KO'd. Frog status is toggled, in that it abilities that induce the status also remove it. The status is healed with Maiden's Kiss and the spell Toad, as well as general status-restoration methods.

Linking Added Effect with either Transform or Hades makes the character immune to Frog. Frog does not persist after battle, but if a character is in Frog status at the end of the battle, they will still perform a victory pose as a frog: they hop once, then backflip.

Frog status is similar to Small.

Item Vaccine

Enemies[]

The following enemies are immune to Frog. All bosses, except Dark Nation, are immune. All mechanical enemies are by nature immune as well, and flying enemies tend to be immune.

Use[]

FFVII Toad

The Toad spell.

Frog is a powerful status that can completely disable an enemy. However, many enemies in the game, including all bosses, are immune to the status, making it pretty useless. It fails on every machine enemy in the game, as well as all giant enemies, and tends to not work on flying enemies. If the player wishes to use the status, it is best used from the Enemy Skill Frog Song to inflict Sleep as well.

Enemy formations with multiple frogs in Gongaga Area can stunlock the party by endlessly inducing Frog and Sleep, and so it is best to protect against these statuses in this area. However, after this segment, there are not many enemies who inflict Frog on the player. The player should beware of the status on the Battle Square and bring Maiden's Kisses as a precaution.
