| “ | Poison Croakom is a giant frog covered in icky, sticky poison. The gunk covering its body protects it from all attacks, but a quick splash of water will wash it clean to reveal a beautiful (and vulnerable) blue hide! It must have a great skin-care routine... | ” | — Figure description fromKirby and the Forgotten Land |
