ALL HAIL FROGHEMOTH

[Gorelin]

Journal recovered by sole survivor from Fireteam Omega after encountering Froghemoth and his prophet.

Day 0: I am finally out of training. No more cheap pay for me! I am eating WELL tonight! Tomorrow, we are going on our first mission to a relatively safe sector of the city. We are being sent to a research facility in a locked down sector that was abandoned not too long ago. There shouldn't be any STROL in sight. I was promised that it will be easy money.

Day 1: Our intel was WRONG! Monsters are everywhere! There are giants stomping around the streets even! We are running out of resources. Something needs to change or we're all going to die!

Day 2: They left me. I can't believe they ...how could they? Steve has been my wingman since we were kids, he barely flinched when he closed the door. We got the research out, but it was a pyrrhic victory. We lost three marines in the process and they left me behind… We needed a better leader than Steve. He abandoned me after I sprained my leg SAVING HIM!

Night 2: I am alone. I can hear them crawling, stomping, and howling outside. Most species do not present too much of a problem since the last of the F.L.U.F.F.Y.s were nuked during evac. I need sleep...

Day 4: I have holed up in the research facility. There is plenty of food and water to last in the mess hall. There is even ammo and turrets here to protect myself with, but the STROL are always coming in. There are mutant dog corpses all over the place and even a giant frog has been waddling down the halls croaking. I think it is searching for me.

Day 5: The frog finally cornered me. As a last-ditch effort, I threw a STROL dog corpse at it hoping to appease its appetite. It ate the dog, then looked at me and croaked... almost like it wanted more. I immediately gave it more and it seemed... happy...

Day 8: The frog helped me fight off a fat zombie. I think it is protecting me because I keep feeding it. It is almost like we are comrades.

Day 10: I have named him Jeffy. Jeffy and I protect each other. He has taken a liking to STROL eggs. He seems to get bigger and stronger after eating them, but he also seems to be changing... mutating over time. He is now the size of a Devourer

Day 13: Jeffy got his leg caught in a capture trap today. It was horrible. The metal spikes went into his leg and there was so much blood. I freed him and convinced him to follow me back to our base. Luckily, because we are holed up in the research facility still, there are plenty of medical supplies. I patched his leg and he seemed to appreciate it.

Day 15: Jeffy and I killed a Slasher today. We worked in perfect tandem, but it got me good in the leg. I was sure that I was going to bleed out. After a minute of trying to prod me to head back "home", Jeffy... ate me... I was sure I was going to die... I could tell that he was walking and after what felt like forever, he spit me back out at the research facility in front of where I patched his leg. He knew this was a place of healing! Is he learning? My thoughts have been racing ever since.

Day 17: I spent the last two days of my leg recovering by tinkering with the trap that Jeffy got caught in a few days back. Him and his kind will never fall prey to this trap again. He has been staring out the windows looking very hungry when the giant Moths fly by. The trap is now modified only for a Moth. I want to give him something for saving me. I am still not sure what exactly happened. Is Jeffy sentient? Perhaps he understands more than I know.

Day 25: Jeffy has gotten BIG. He barely fits through the double doors of the research facility. He is almost the same size as a F.L.U.F.F.Y. The other frogs seem to defer to him and even bring him food as offerings. They leave me alone and help keep the compound safe. He clearly has a level of intelligence higher than that of a mere STROL. I have been studying his behaviour and there is something more to him. He is…I don’t know anymore. I need some rest.

Day ??: The giant frog has saved me more times than I can count. Humanity has abandoned me. I don't even remember who I was before... He is all I have in this hellhole. He is my saviour and so I must offer tribute to him!

Day ??+1: A group of humans is here. One of them claims he knows me... his name is Steve? It doesn’t ring a bell, but seeing a human had me so bewildered I could barely make out what he said. He wants me to leave with them, but how could I? Humans have abandoned me. I have a purpose here… I serve the Frog lord, I… I don’t even remember his name. But he reigns supreme. The humans are wounded, desperate for supplies, and they claim to want to earn my trust. I never got around to trapping a Moth... if they can get a Moth, I can present it as an offering to Him. They seemed very reluctant to accept this quest. I lied and told them that it was for extremely valuable research to the Elysium Corporation. It may even could help contain the biomass that is always expanding. That and the promise of more ammo than they can carry was enough to convince them to accept.

Day ??+2: They succeeded! They have captured a Moth and the Frog lord seemed pleased. He started jumping in anticipation, shaking the ground around us because of how large he has gotten. As I opened the cage to get his prize, he shot his tongue out and devoured it. The Marines started freaking out. Moths are dangerous enemies, and seeing something devour it as a snack so easily must be unnerving. But they do not understand, they do not know the truth. Soon they will...

Minutes later: Something is happening to the Frog lord... he has always grown and mutated when he ate certain foods before, but never anything like this... The prophecy is coming true, I knew this day would come. He is now the size of a behemoth! One of the marines panicked yelling obscenities about a “Froghemoth” and fired at him. Froghemoth… Steve, you rotten heathen soul. The name you meant as an insult encompasses the greatness of our Lord. Yes, the name shall remain. It took less than a second for Froghemoth to understand that Steve meant him disrespect, and Steve vanished into his mouth. The other marines, their morale shattered, feebly tried to resist as Froghemoth devoured the remainder of the team...all except one...

I stood in front of my Lord to prevent him from eating the last of the marines. I do not know who I was before. I barely know who I am now. I know only what must be done. Several humans have made it to this godforsaken place, and several will again. The very presence of unbelievers on this plain is an insult to his magnificence. They must be...educated...I told the marine that he needs to spread the word of our Lord and saviour Froghemoth. After being shown mercy and surviving an ordeal of this magnitude, I am sure he will oblige.

All must know of his magnificence! All hail Froghemoth!

[feedmeee]

All hail. The good word is out. Let it spread like wildfire, and let His glory be known.

[Meme Turtle]

I have only one question: is Froghemoth strong enough to devour shiva?

[Camhenry]

All hail. Bring the Froghemoth to the game!!!

[Exuvo]

One can only dream of one day being eaten by Froghemoth himself!
Alas the normal frogs will have to do for now, even though the yearning can never be satisfied by such small creatures.
