The Mystic Frog is a Critter that spawns in the Jungle with a 3.33% (1/30) chance to spawn in place of a regular Frog. It appears as an orange and pink frog with a large pink sunhat and glows a faint light in the dark.

When Purification Powder is used on it, it turns into the Mystic Slime, a Town NPC, similarly to how the Tortured Soul transforms into the Tax Collector.

When trying to catch it with a Bug Net, Lavaproof Bug Net or Golden Bug Net, it will teleport away from you preventing you from catching it.

Notes[]

The Mystic Frog is one of the few creatures detected by the Lifeform Analyzer.
Attempting to catch the critter with any kind of net will cause it to teleport nearby.
The spawn chance of a Mystic Frog increases during a Blood Moon.
The chance of finding a Mystic Frog changed from 2% to 3.33% as of the 1.4.4.8 update.

Tips[]

The Guide To Critter Companionship will prevent the player from killing the frog accidentally.
Gnomes, Water Candles, Battle Potions, Coin Luck, Blood Moon and Solar Eclipse can be used to increase its spawn rate. Note that Water Candles, Battle Potions, Blood Moons and Solar Eclipses also will increase the spawn rate of enemies which can kill it.
Having town NPCs nearby increases critter spawns. This works because town NPCs reduce enemy spawns, so any particular spawn is more likely to be a critter one, and enemies are less likely to kill the critter. Up to three town NPCs can be used for this purpose, see NPC_spawning.

Achievements[]
