Frogman

The Frogman is a giant, talking frog who lives among the Yips and, thanks to his size and learning, is treated as their wise leader.

First named in The Lost Princess of Oz, ch. 3

It was a serious thing in any part of the Land of Oz to accuse one of stealing, so when the Yips heard Cayke the Cookie Cook declare that her jeweled dishpan had been stolen, they were both humiliated and disturbed and forced Cayke to go with them to the Frogman to see what could be done about it.
